Piano In The WoodsAnyway, let's get back to our prefered method of posting a story shall we:
Was it a theft? A prank? A roundabout effort to bring some holiday cheer to the police? Authorities in Harwich, Massachusetts, USA are probing the mysterious appearance of a piano, in good working condition, in the middle of the woods.
Discovered by a woman who was walking a trail, the Baldwin Acrosonic piano, model number 987, is intact -- and, apparently, in tune.
Sgt. Adam Hutton of the Harwich Police Department said information has been broadcast to all the other police departments in the Cape Cod area in hopes of drumming up a clue, however minor it may be.
But so far, the investigation is flat.
Also of note: Near the mystery piano -- serial number 733746 -- was a bench, positioned as though someone was about to play.
The piano was at the end of a dirt road, near a walking path to a footbridge in the middle of conservation land near the Cape.
It took a handful of police to move the piano into a vehicle to transport it to storage, so it would appear that putting it into the woods took more than one person.
Asked whether Harwich police will be holding a holiday party in the storage bay -- tickling the ivories, pouring eggnog -- while they await word of the piano's origin and fate, Hutton laughed. No such plans.

Shame it wasn't in the UK, they could have just watched one of the 300 CCTV images captured on each person that day

I've been at home all day Bravo, haven't left the house once. Is there any way "they" could have pictures of me?

Well if you are at home all day, you'd find it very difficult indeed to leave a piano in the woods.

No, no, no, you miss the point. You said that each day, every person in the UK is photgraphed 300 times by CCTV.
So my question is, will I still be photographed 300 times if I stay at home all day?

I meant each person who moved the piano rather than each person sat watching the telly.

Apparently there's a new 'urban' game being played these days - try to get from one point to another in town without getting caught on a CCTV camera. I hear it's incredibly difficult to do.
And we are talking outside pursuits here, just for clarity Raymond. Moving from TV to kettle doesn't count.
