Ahhh, music. Adoplh Huxley called it “that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible.” George Bernard Shaw called it “the brandy of the damned.” Police in Amsterdam called it “evidence.”
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A burglar who broke into a house in the Dutch town of Tiel on Wednesday night could not resist playing the piano he found there after ransacking the living room, police said on Thursday.
Unfortunately for the 20-year-old thief, his music woke the owner of the house, who called the police.
Foiled by a piano. I smell the bejeweled hand of Liberace’s ghost at work.
I’ve always had a distaste for people who see a piano and, regardless of the setting, can’t resist the urge to play it. It’s like they’ve got some evil lounge singer gene in their bloodstream.
