When he must park, his choices remain-as ever-a scarce spot on the street (where the car may be towed away), a tight little space on a self-service lot (where he is likely to bang up his fenders trying to get in or out), or a garage (where a slam-bang attendant will take care of the fender smashing).

The pianist told Massachusetts cops that a thief had swiped the famed symbol-set with 16 small diamonds and worth about $700-from his limo while he was performing in the Boston suburb of Framingham. It was something of a temptation, being mounted on the left rear fender where any passerby could pry it loose. But not all was lost.
