Wow, those really were expensive pianos!  If they trace the serial numbers
they could locate the dealer they were shipped to.  Then they would know who
actually purchased the them.  They could also trace the financial
transaction and find out where the purchasing money came from.  It sounds
like there are going to be a lot of people needing defense lawyers soon.

Oh what tangled webs we weave!
