Could you imagine this find.
A New York man retired, wanted to use his retirement money wisely, so it
[indent]
would last, and decided to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal.
The modest farmhouse had been vacant for 15 yrs.; the owner and wife
both had died, and there were no heirs. The house was sold to pay taxes.
There had been several lookers, but the large barn had steel doors, and
they had been welded shut. Nobody wanted to go to the extra expense to
see what was in the barn, and it wasn't complimentary to the property
anyway......so, nobody made an offer on the place.
The NY guy bought it at just over half of the property's worth, moved
in, and set about to tear in to the barn.......curiosity was killing him.
So, he and his wife bought a generator, and a couple of
grinders.......and cut thru the welds.
What was in the barn...............?

and start wishing it had been you who bought the place.

Unfortunately, the story isn't true....the collection does exist, but the guy who owns them is still alive:
