Piano, Bench Abandoned in Cape Cod Woods
Police Have No Leads on Who May Have Deserted the Instrument

If a piano is played in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?
That's one of several questions Cape Cod police are trying to answer as they investigate a piano that was found abandoned Saturday in the middle of Bell Neck's woods in Harwich, Mass.
The Baldwin piano, according to Harwich Police Department Detective David Jacek, was in pristine condition -- as was the matching bench found with it -- when a local woman came across the instrument during an early-morning walk.
"So far, we have no idea where the piano came from," said Jacek.
"But this is a kind of piano that nobody would mind having in their house," added Jacek, who described the piano as being in "good shape" with only a "few scratches" on its side.
But because of the good condition of the piano -- some local reports have even speculated that the instrument was in tune when it was found -- Jacek is even more baffled as to how and why it ended up in the middle of a forest.
