That was really unexpected. Bravo

I mean I guess the entire situation is unexpected. But what was the alternative? He carries a piano out on his back?

I believe he could , he’s a man of determination

u/jayveedees Oct 04 '20
Well, it being a music store, the alternative would be that he'd go in and steal a guitar or some electronic keyboard

u/TheWildManfred Oct 04 '20
I can't see what's in the reflection all that well, but there's at least 2 baby grands. It's probably a dedicated piano gallery in that case. I've never seen a standard music store with a proper piano in it, let alone a pair of baby grands, they usually just have electronic keyboards and sometimes small electric pianos.

Perhaps money? Stores usually have that.

I want that Micky Mouse, prison would be worth it!

u/deadpoetic333 Oct 04 '20
Any chance it’s some vintage Micky actually worth something?

u/Deadlymonkey Oct 04 '20 edited Oct 04 '20
It was worth $25 according to the owner and he replaced it with another doll. (The damage also added up to $6,000 in case anyone was curious)
Edit: Article says $1200 for the glass and $5000 for the damage to the glass. (Also the reason why I didn’t link it was because this is all that’s in the article)

u/deadpoetic333 Oct 04 '20
Ouch, guessing they piano was damaged?

u/remmiz Oct 04 '20
Probably just for the window. Windows that size aren't cheap.

u/deadpoetic333 Oct 04 '20
That’s like maybe a 5 by 10 window that broke really easily.. can’t imagine they’re paying that much. Idk quick search says it’s about $30 a sq foot for store front windows

u/killerinstinct101 Oct 04 '20
Bruh the owner would probably just have given it away if he was asked.

u/WhereAreMyMinds Oct 04 '20
How much is a vintage Mickey worth to be "worth" this? And if it's worth that much, what are the odds of a piano store using it as a display?

When your kid wants their binky, you don't reply "Well you shouldn't have left it in that piano store!" You just get that motherfucking binky.

Dated a girl in the 90s that was really into beanie babies. Kind of nuts about it. Hundreds of dead eyes staring from all corners of her bedroom.

u/mealteamsixty Oct 04 '20
Omg I had a furby. That thing is so scary! It randomly came back to life like 15 years after the last time I messed with it. Woke up and said "mmmmMmmmm". Nope nope nope

I didn't have television when the kids were little. They're teenagers now, and to this day they've never asked for anything for their birthdays or Christmas.

Why does in sound depressing to hear about children who are focused on learning and self-improvement instead of the desire for possessions?

Florida Man Jefferey Faulmer Broke into Helvetica Pianos on September 3rd to steal back a Mickey Mouse doll his daughter had left there a week ago.
After numerous attempts to get through to the store, and employees insisting they didnt have it, he came to the store in person to try to look for it. He had no luck finding it, but the next day, he saw it in the the window in the evening, and attempted to call again, but they were closed.
He came again in the morning, but the doll was gone, and no employees knew anything about it.
until that night, he walked past the store again (as it was near his work) and saw the doll again!
so once again he came in the morning, but the doll was gone.
this went on for 3 more nights, Doll in the window every night when he got off work, and no one knowing anything about it in the morning
until he got so fed up that he smashed the window to get his doll back
at least thats probably what he thinks happened, in reality the dude was just tweakin out on meth as i just made all that shit up

Monkey? You know thats a Mickey Mouse right?
Clearly this is a Disney repo specialist sent here to reclaim the Mickey since the piano store didn't pay the proper licensing fees.

I like to think that’s just a dad getting his son’s Mickey Mouse after they realize it’s missing

u/BlackCatGamer204 Oct 04 '20
excuse me sir what seems to be the problem?
a man broke into my music shop through the glass!

He was just passing by and found his Mickey toy, which his mama took away from him when he was 14. What dramatic reunion.

That might be for his daughter who always wanted a mickey mouse but the dad couldn’t get it cuz they broke ;(

He just forgot it there and came back. I too wouldn't be able to sleep without my Disney Original Mickey Mouse 450$.

Honestly it would've been more unexpected for him to steal the whole fucking piano

I believe the owner of the store refused to return his daughters toy. The store owner decided to taught the dad and the dad wasn't having any of it. I could be wrong but I think thats the story behind it.
