Does that mean I am a hoarder?

I don't know what was funnier, the fact that someone was able to make off with an upright piano without a peep or the police officer's questioning?

This brings back memories of a day of despair,...Oh! This brings back memories of a day of despair, joy and giggles! We moved house and the upright piano lovingly given to my daughter by a friend would not make the 90 degree turn down the narrow corridor and into the living room. Movers put it back out into the little forecourt outside and retired to their van right next to it for that British movers essential, the 10.30 a.m. tea break. We sat in the house by the window outside of which the piano stood. <br />Fifteen minutes later --- it had vanished and none of us heard it being moved. I even checked in the van in case the men had put it back in there, intending to sell it. Not there and hysterical daughter wept whilst I tried not to rejoice openly! H cheered up when we went to report to the theft to the police in West Norwood, London where the conversation went:<br />police lady officer: What has been stolen?<br />me: An upright piano.<br />police officer: Can you describe it?<br />me: It's about so high by so wide and is in cherry wood.<br />police officer: Why would you leave it in the wood?<br />me: No, it is made of cherry wood, wood from a cherry tree.<br />police officer: Oh. How does it play?<br />me: You press the keys with your fingers (is this lady for real?)<br />police officer: You wind a key?<br />me:No, it has piano keys like...<br />police officer: What colour keys?<br />me: Giggle, giggle, black, splutter, and white.<br />Daughter: Here, I'll draw you a picture of it!<br />police office: You should have photos of your portable items of value..<br />me: Portable?<br />police officer: Can't you lift it?<br />So we gave up and left.<br />jenannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00321001863688006661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622641255453915063.post-67854146925233159102013-08-04T06:22:05.491-04:002013-08-04T06:22:05.491-04:00I have EXACTLY the same problem but mine's a p...I have EXACTLY the same problem but mine's a pianola in perfect working order. Lovely to hear it playing but now children have flown the nest it no longer gets played. Very difficult to find a home for in the UK. They sell on ebay for 99 pence (buyer collects). I will follow your cottage idea with great interest Natalie Jo. Looking forward to the next installment! Eli xSheltered by Treeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002199823560187848noreply@blogger.com
