It happens and so does a lot of other waste material. At the end it is not your job to retune the piano, just check for unisons and mechanical problems like broken strings or dysfunctional pedals. Set priorities to match the situation and do the best you know how to do. If needful, yell at someone Newton P.S. Your hammer makes a good head banger.
