That's very well possible Paul. Brian owned at least three sitars. That's why I put that question.Quote

The sitar used during the song recording, however, is still alive and kicking and in possession of a special (indirectly to Brian) person, who maybe will reveal it one day.

I still find it curious that what with the death, accidental or not, of a famous rock star, the police let people BURN potential evidence and personal belongings, right there on the property. Why on earth was this allowed to happen and then have it be done by people (hangers on) who might rightly be considered "people of interest" by the very same police. It just does not make sense. And my understanding, correct or maybe not, is that stuff that was supposedly burned that day has turned up in the time since.
What possible legal justification could there be, or could these people have had, to be able to get away with something like that? Was Brian Jones so despised by the police they somehow just didn't give a shit? Seems very far fetched.
I am willing and anxious to be enlightened as to the facts of this situation if I do not already have them at hand. Again, what I think I know just does not fit together into a credible whole.

A few years later people stole a rock stars body, burned it, and only paid a $300 fine for the, at the time, misdemeanor theft.
A cop even help them load Gram Parsons casket into their vehicle during the theft.
Times were different

Tom Keylock and builders Morris Tucker, and John Betsworth burnt all kinds of items. Like his clothes, some instruments and Brian’s bible. Mick Martin witnessed this fire, a very religious man, and he managed to rescue the Bible from the fire. Brian’s famous 1968/1969 velvet trousers and some other stuff were taken home by the builders. Also some items reached his parents, like Brian’s snake skin boots.

Sorry, this is all total bullshit. They didn't burn any of Brian's stuff.
Brian's parents visited Cothcford for several days and took possession of most of Brian's stuff -clothes, instruments, jewelry, art and whatever more.
For the last 10 years or so the Brian estate has been selling more and more of Brian's stuff, and for reasons I do not know, the last year the market is flooding with Brian owned stuff.
And its not 'just a few items', but really a lot, literally dozen and dozen's of necklaces, jackets, art, paintings, boots, but also personal stuff of Brian like letters, faxes, bills and whatever more have turned up in the market to collectors, all from the Brian Jones estate.
Some of his instruments went back to the Stones office (like his Mellotron, his LP Goldtop, one of his Firebirds, his Vox Mando), and the rest went to his parents, who have sold just about all instruments already in the 1980's.

I thought the telefax was invented in 1843 (then called "Electric Printing Telegraph")?

Just for the record and historical correctness. We are here in 1969. Cables and telexes - therefore - yes, faxes no. Fax service was introduced in the late 70s only, e.g. by German Post Office in 1979, and became standard in business only by the mid 80s.
