GLENDALE, Calif. (KABC) -- A 300-year-old cello that was stolen in November was found inside a stolen car in Glendale, police said Saturday.

Glendale police said the instrument was still in the trunk of the four-door 2007 Acura that was stolen on Nov. 1. It was parked in a neighborhood in the 700 block of Glenvista Avenue.

Police went to check out the vehicle on Thursday, after neighbors noticed it had been there for a long time.

The antique Antonio Domenicelli cello, which was made in 1714, was said to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
