500-pound white piano is stolen from NYC park

[June 30, 2011]  NEW YORK (AP) -- How do you steal a white 500-pound piano sitting in a public park?

That's what a nonprofit arts group that placed the piano in New York City wants to know.

Sing for Hope director Emily Walsh says the instrument was last seen Sunday night at a park in the Bronx. It's one of dozens of upright pianos placed around the city during a two-week project sponsored by the organization.

The search for the piano is ongoing.
