What is the immediate impact of the theft of David Lopez Ibanez's historically significant violin?

A 284-year-old Lorenzo Carcassi violin, valued at a six-figure sum, was stolen from a north London pub while its owner, violinist David Lopez Ibanez, had dinner. The violin, on loan to Mr. Ibanez, was taken from a bench next to him; a witness attempted to apprehend a suspected thief, inadvertently leaving the violin behind.
