Have You Seen This Piano? Oval Park Instrument of Hope Goes Missing

Just yesterday, this "pop-up" piano in Williamsbridge Oval Park was being used to make music as part of a citywide program initiated by the nonprofit Sing for Hope. Today, it's gone. Vanished. Apparently overnight. Caretakers locked it up last night near the tennis courts on the west side of the park at around 6:30 p.m.. Today, it is nowhere to be found.

If you have any information about it's whereabouts, please contact Michael Lambert of Mosholu Preservation Corporation at mlambert@mpcbronx.org or (718) 324-4461.

  2. This is so messed up. Why can't the Bronx have anything nice. Frankly it's the city's fault for not funding a gaurd to protect the piano overnight.

  4. The irony is that there was (and still is) a 24 hr security guard on site to protect the playground -- stationed less than 25 feet away from the piano. Why the security guard did not see a vehicle enter the park, people with flashlights hoist a piano into the truck or van, and then exit the park is beyond me?

    I want to stress that this is not because of the Bronx. This is because of negligence and because of screwed-up people! There have been many accounts of vandalism in other boroughs...

    We really need the 52 precinct to catch the thieves! If these people took a piano, what else have they taken?

  5. gaurd should be guard

    Now that the grammar issues have been taken care of - twice - the real issue is not guarding the piano but instilling a sense of integrity in Bronx residents. The entire borough suffers because of the actions of a few.

  7. I wish you could bet on things like whether a pop-up piano left out unattended in the Bronx would be stolen, and if so, how long it would take.

  8. If people stopped doing stupid things like this and respecting other people's property then the Bronx would be an ever better place to live.

  9. It is sad and disgusting that some lowlife decided to ruin a nice thing for people. Too bad there are those that have no class; have no respect for the property of others and are so ghetto. This type of activity continues to give the Bronx a bad name and will make it difficult to bring any type of activity to parts of the Bronx that is not called Riverdale.

  11. I lived on Bainbridge Avenue across from the museum until recently and I have to say that whoever thought the piano would last must've been crazy to think it would stay there. I'm proud of where I'm from because it made me who I am - I'm hood, but I'm no hood rat - and things like that are done by those douchebags. Don't blame a whole neighborhood for a couple thieves, they're everywhere. Btw, since when is there a "guard" in there. Is that Sing's night job or does the Chemical Bum have a job now?
