Sounds like someone had stashed it.

The aircraft mechanism found behind the Ground Zero “mosque” site belongs to a Boeing 767 — the same model as the airliners used on 9/11 at the World Trade Center, police confirmed yesterday.
But aviation experts say a number stamped on the wreckage will likely not help determine which of the two 767s it came from.
That number — BOEING CSTG 65B84045 — is a “casting number” not unique to the part or to the plane, said Alan Lery of Turbo Resources International, an Arizona aircraft-parts seller.
It’s possible a number of parts on the mechanism have the same designation, he explained.

An Engineer on Airliners has looked up the part in the 767 Parts Cat.

Amazing!! what happened to the rest of the wreckage??
Some wreckage of UAL Flight 175 was recovered north of WTC after impact.
I would expect that this is wreckage from Boeing 767 Flight 175 (WTC 2)? Pieces of landing gear and engine were already recovered from the Park Place area. See link to graphic.

After the plane penetrated through the tower, part of the plane’s landing gear and fuselage came out the north side of the tower and crashed through the roof and two of the floors of 45–47 Park Place, between West Broadway and Church Street, (600 feet (180 meters)) north of the former World Trade Center. The plane parts destroyed three floor beams, and severely compromised the building’s internal structure………..
Some debris from the aircraft were recovered nearby, including landing gear found on top of a building on the corner of West Broadway and Park Place, an engine found at Church & Murray Street, and a section of the fuselage landed on top of 5 World Trade Center.
