SPOKANE, Wash. (UPI) -- Law enforcement authorities in Spokane, Wash., don't think it was magic -- they think the disappearance of a grand piano was a brazen theft.
An employee at the Ridpath Hotel says the concert piano was in its usual place when she left for her dinner break around 11 p.m. Saturday, but she noticed the more than century-old Steinway Grand Piano was gone before 2 a.m. Sunday.
The thieves apparently knew what they were doing. The black Steinway weighs nearly 1,000 pounds and was worth at least $25,000, KXLY-TV, Spokane, reported.
The hotel is offering a reward for the instrument's return.
