It’s not every day that you hear of someone stealing a baby grand piano – from a children’s hospital, no less – but that’s what happened in Toronto this year. The thief just wheeled it out of the cardiac wing.

Security footage reportedly shows two men using a dolly to maneuver the instrument through the hospital to a waiting vehicle, where a third suspect stands by. Inquisitive staff members stopped the pair several times during the hours-long procedure, but believed the piano was being removed for maintenance.

The piano has since been returned to its home at Toronto General. It was donated to the hospital in 2006, and is used for weekly performances by visiting piano players. According to the hospital’s website, the piano will be featured in a September concert, its first performance since being returned.

Arrested and charged (but not convicted) is male-model Artem Stanislav Timofeyev.
