1. Some prankster is getting a laugh over this. The History

Channel will make it a series.

6. My First Thought, Too

That thing was nothing 4 guys with a pickup & a lawn mower trailer couldn't place, and remove.
Even if the weight caused them to use a technique like the Egyptians did with the obelisks.
Still 4 guys & some rope.

2. Ooh! The plot thickens. It could have been stolen too

No guarantee that whoever came and got it was involved with it being there.

I still say it’s art and/or a party spot for a Silicon Valley or hedge fund type.

From Life, the Universe, and Everything:

"For those of you who've just tuned in, you may be interested to know that, er ... two men, two rather scruffily attired men, and indeed a sofa — a Chesterfield I think?"

"Yes, a Chesterfield."

"Have just materialized here in the middle of Lord's Cricket Ground. But I don't think they meant any harm, they've been very good-natured about it, and ..."

"Sorry, can I interrupt you a moment Peter and say that the sofa has just vanished."

"So it has. Well, that's one mystery less..."

7. I read it may have been from the movie Westworld, which filmed in the area.

Apparently internet sleuths went back through Google Maps (or maybe Google Earth?) images & narrowed down it's appearance to a 1 year span of time, & Westworld filmed in that area during that time.

I don't know if it appeared in the movie though.

8. Westworld was a series...not a movie

I'm sure the producers would have claimed it for the credit by now...
