Hahahaha
I was working an exploration camp a number of years ago. We were using an old farm-house as a base camp. One day we decided to go exploring and found this old shed. Inside were 4 Ford Model T, dating from 1912. All had wooden spoked wheels. All were in various states of disrepair. It is amazing what you can find.

A New York man retired. He wanted to use his retirement money wisely, so it
would last, and decided to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal ... The
modest farmhouse had been vacant for 15 years; 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?

bought the place.
