My first thought was a seized caliper, but since the brakes are completely
non-functional (car has sat for a LONG time, brake pedal goes to the floor, etc
etc) it didn't seem to make sense. Why would - and how could - the caliper
suddenly close itself just by sitting there? Of course, I know next to nothing
about brake systems (learning one car system at a time) so this could very well
be what happens. How does this happen?
Thanks for the idea...I will try your trick tomorrow.

98% chance it's the caliper-
wedge a screwdriver under the pads, and lever them away from the rotor. Off you
go.
2% chance it's garden gnomes gone bad. Run away. Far, far away.
