A number of things can lock up an engine. Water in one or more cylinders will most certainly hydro lock it. A mouse nest could be in it. They can get through some really small spots. If it was stopped with a valve open, a mouse could have gotten in and built a nest. Rust is probably the number one reason for a stuck engine.
