Speaking of old folks saving stuff: A friend of mine used to be into
buying
and refinishing antique furniture. One day, he and his wife found a
really
nice dresser at an estate auction. They bought it for $150.00. As they
were
loading it into their pickup, they laid it on its back and heard
something
metallic sliding around. They stood it up again, pulled out the drawers,
and
under the bottom drawer was a lightweight metal box containing $4,000.00
in
hundred dollar bills. They went home fast

He's quite the humanitarian.

I'd count your silverware after he leave your house the next time!

It wasn't especially NICE of them, but it was, as far as I know,
perfectly legal. Going from that to petty theft is a bit of a leap.



Most auction goods are sold "as is". That's why you're supposed to inspect
before bidding.
