Jim Hutton and House sitter Shaun Matthews ”removed” it from the Garden Lodge premises on March 1, 1992 before probate was signed off on, May 13, 1992— along with many thousands of dollars worth, of Queen/Freddie memorabilia....

which is very strange given that all assets we're supposed to be frozen and nothing was supposed to be removed from the house until May 1992.

In November 16, 2004, Hutton later sold it at Bonhams for over $34,000. Coincident my, I'm sure, about the time a statute of limitations kicked in.

A fan bought it and it is reportedly loaned out to exhibitions on occasion.
