Grand Piano Mysteriously Shows Up on Sandbar in Florida's Biscayne Bay

If you like mysteries, this'll be music to your ears.

South Floridians are wondering how on earth a grand piano found its way atop a sandbar in Biscayne Bay. Authorities aren't sure how the 650-pound instrument got there (it's about 200 yards from shore), but theories abound.

Here's one, courtesy of The New York Times:

"Maybe it was used for a models' shoot," theorized Mark Alan Leszczynski, president of Piano Showcase in Fort Lauderdale. "Or maybe this was something some bitter divorced person would do -- take your ex-husband's prized piano and dump it on a sand bar."

Let's go to the video:

Florida officials say the piano, which is estimated to be worth $4,000 (new and dry, that is), won't be taken away unless it's shown to be a threat to boaters or wildlife in the area.

From The Miami Herald:

"We are not responsible for removing such items,'' said Jorge Pino, a spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. "Even a car can become a habitat for wildlife. Unless the item becomes a navigational hazard, the Coast Guard would not get involved.''

We at Surge Desk think the whole episode gives new meaning to the phrase "piano bar" (sorry, we had to get that in somewhere in this post).
