Earle Fox, a retired teacher from Stockton, California who has been teaching taiko to kids in public schools since 2010, has been reunited with his valuable taiko drums.
Early was at wit's end after about $100,000 worth of drums and other equipment in a trailer were stolen from in front of his home.
Luckily, Earle has been reunited with his Asian drums after an observant citizen, who saw the News10 story about the stolen drums, found some of them Friday morning in the garage of a foreclosed home in west Stockton.
The man knew the house was vacant and became suspicious when he saw activity near the house.
