In the margins of a celebrated artist's tour, a man made a choice in an Atlanta parking garage that rippled far beyond the value of what he carried away. Kelvin Evans, 41, has been sentenced to two years in prison for stealing luggage from a rental car belonging to members of Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour — luggage that happened to contain hard drives holding unreleased music. The legal chapter has closed, but the missing recordings remain unaccounted for, a quiet reminder that some consequences of a single act outlast the punishment for it.
