    I am no indesign wizard but my guess it's one of three things.

    (1) A locked Object like ESKEMA is pointing out above. See above.

    (2) An anchored object inside of a graphic frame that was inserted into a text box. In that case simply select your text box where the graphic is, goto Object --> Anchored Object --> Release

    (3) Or it's a locked master page item. Again...

    Get to your pages palette. Select the master page that contains the item and double-click into it. You should now be viewing the master page with the item. You can edit the item any way you choose from this point.

    If you don't want to edit your master page then you can choose to 'override master page items' in the pages palette by option/right + clicking onto the page you want to override.

    If that doesn't help then I have no idea, outside of having someone with a superior knowledge of indesign view the file, what will help.
