Rock and Roll Hall of Fame curator Craig Inciardi along with Glenn Horowitz and Edward Kosinski were formerly charged on July 12th for “allegedly possessing a trove of stolen handwritten notes and lyrics by the Eagles' co-founder Don Henley, with New York officials estimating the documents are worth more than $1 million.”
Inciardi and Kosinski were also charged with first degree counts of criminal possession and had previously tried to sell of the lyric manuscripts to such high profile auction houses as Sotheby’s and Christie’s — while attempting to also get Don Henley to buy back his stolen property.
Rolling Stone reported that the trio accused of the conspiracy, featured nearly 100 pages of handwritten notes and lyrics by Henley — including such standards as “Hotel California” and “Life In The Fast Lane.” According to the report, Henley had been trying to recover his papers for years after they were stolen back in the 1970's by a biographer and eventually ended up in at the accuse Glen Horowitz' possession.
