another wayward piano in Miami...on a sandbar! WTF hahaha
The Associated Press
MIAMI -- A grand piano recently showed up on a sandbar in Miami's Biscayne Bay, about 200 yards from condominiums on the shore.
The piano, which weighs at least 650 pounds, was placed at the highest spot along the sandbar so it doesn't get underwater during high tide.
While officials aren't sure how it got there, they know it won't be going anywhere unless it becomes a hazard to wildlife or boaters.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Jorge Pino says the agency is not responsible for moving such items. And, he adds, unless it becomes a navigational hazard, the U.S. Coast Guard won't get involved.
For now, the piano has become a fancy roost for seagulls.
edit to add: a 16-year-old boy has admitted he put it out there.
"It's in his best interest to drive the same boat that he drove out there before and load that damn thing onto his boat and bring it back to his garage."
