| marylandmom3 - after having read your post, I sincerely hope that your daughters flute can be repaired and that she will be able to enjoy it again.
I believe that by offering this very personal account here on CC, you may have helped others realize that unfortunate things can happen to cherished personal belongings at any college. While incidents such as this are never completely avoidable, sharing this thread with other students, can increase their awareness of such random, unfortunate events.
