Lovely.

Hunt this person down and, quietly, kill him.


Okay, don't kill him, but at least arrange for him to wake up in a 
Barney costume in a dark alley in a large city in a different hemisphere 
with no identification or cash, and three weeks missing from his memory. 
It would do the profession worlds of good.

And no, incidentally, WD-40 isn't appropriate for dousing tuning pins in 
pianos.
