Police say they’ve retrieved one of the two irreplaceable instruments owned by the rock band Heart that were stolen in Atlantic City, New Jersey, two weeks ago. Police said Tuesday they retrieved the Telecaster guitar from a woman who bought it from the theft suspect. A vintage 1966 Gibson mandolin remains unaccounted for. The Telecaster guitar was custom-made for band member Nancy Wilson. Detectives say surveillance video showed the suspect giving the Telecaster to a woman. The woman put the guitar in her vehicle parked a couple blocks from the Hard Rock Casino & Hotel, where it had been stolen. Police contacted the woman, who surrendered the guitar.
