It was found by a woman walking along a path in a wooded conservation area on Saturday. And it was well hidden.
But now police in a small Massachusetts town are trying to figure out how it got there and who might have left it at its lonely perch.
The object that has cops scratching their heads in the town of
Harwich is a rather large Baldwin piano - complete with a bench. The woman who found the instrument in a local park told authorities it caught her eye as she was passing by.
When they went to investigate, they found an expensive piano that appeared as though it had just been played.
But there was no one around to claim it, it didn't seem to belong to anyone, and there were no indications how it got there.
Cops are especially baffled because they know it couldn't have been a one man job. They estimate it would have taken at least six people to move such a heavy object into such a remote spot.
Yet there it sat with nary a scratch on it and no clue as to its origins or arrival.
Authorities have since removed the instrument from the woods and are checking with other police agencies in the state to see if anyone's reported a missing or stolen piano.
But so far, they've been unable to find the key - or in this case, the keys - to unlock the mystery.
