The minimum price for that type of harp is over $10,000, but that would be for a much smaller one.
That picture looks like it’s a concert grand harp, and even used it’s hard to find one for less than $15,000.
On top of that, they’re both delicate and sensitive to temperature and humidity. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he destroyed the harp by doing that.
EDIT: Based on the shape of the pillar, I’m guessing that is a Lyon & Healy Style 30, which retails for $30,700
Won’t be destroyed, definitely very out of tune though. Wouldn’t be great to play on but cold is not as bad as heat can be. Luckily he didn’t take it in with him.
I was more concerned about things like the neck getting cracked as I doubt he took care to transport it carefully, but extremely dry air can also cause the wood to crack.

It’s okay. They put a coat on it so it won’t get cold.
I assumed that was the padded case that a lot of harps come with.
