I think most of us have made that kind of discoveries, I've had a few, a Jacobs 35 with the coin chute jammed with buffalo nickels, 37 silver dimes in the insulation of a Vendo 83, etc. but those kind of things you have no way of knowing who put them in there, was it the one you bought it from or the person that sold it to him? It is like most have said here, whatever makes you feel ok.

Over here in England there was a recent media story over
an auction item sold over three years ago. Only recently
the purchaser opened a smaller box that was in the larger
trunk. The trunk belonged to a relative of Agatha Christie
the famous crime writer and had been catalogued as such
in the auction where it had sold for a few hundred pounds.
Inside the smaller box they found jewellery and gold coins
valued at over £100,000 as there was provenance to the
Christie family.
Obviously, the person who had bought the trunk was delighted
and the story hit the national media. However, auction company
that originally catalogued the trunk were seeking to place claim
on these newly found items, as these items were,
"not catalogued within the original lot item description" so the buyer
never purchased these items so they belong to the auction house
or the original owner who placed them with the auctioneer in the
first place.

GP in that case I would say let take it to court and then lets see who it belongs to. The Auction House did not do there job of checking every thing out first hand and the original owner is also to blame for not taking the time to check things out before turning it over to the auction house both did a crappy job, They both missed it and the auction house caught H377 for not checking it out so they have to make it right for the customer (GO get those coins) what a bunch of dirt bags And What Eric was saying about the old people I totally agree with the A+ plus to your buddy ![smile](http://soda-machines.com/discussions/Smileys/smc/smile.gif) .

I would try and contact the owner and see if they received those items from the estate broker. If not that is theft. From who would be a question. Side note: Switch blades are legal in WA. State. They can be in a home assembled but to carry or transport in a car they must be dissassembled. Creighton

Years ago, a friend of mine bought an older home in the Chicago area. He was remodeling the bathroom and removing the plaster so he could replace it with greenboard. When he opened the wall above the window about $3,200 dropped out of the wall. Not a fortune but enough to cover the cost of the remodel at the time. ![drinking](http://soda-machines.com/discussions/Smileys/smc/drinking.gif) Tim ![drinking](http://soda-machines.com/discussions/Smileys/smc/drinking.gif)

I have a story that sort of relates, but instead of finding something it is a story about losing something we didn't know we had.
I grew up in Ohio in a house that was built around 1940. My parents bought it in 1967. The house had a large stone fireplace in the living room that was made out of stone from an old schoolhouse. Next to that was a built-in bookcase. One summer in the early 80's we went on vacation. Upon returning home we found the inside basement door (the one that lead to the basement from the kitchen) kicked in and a "junk drawer" open in the kitchen. The basement door had a small latch on it that we always locked for whatever reason. We quickly figured out that someone had broken the window to the outside basement door to gain entry to the basement and came up the stairs from the inside. When they couldn't open to door at the top of the stairs they forced it open and broke the latch. They then took a hammer and screwdriver from the door and made their way to the bookcase in the living room. It was here that we found the hammer and screwdriver laying on the floor and a section of the bottom panel pried off of the bookcase. Under the bookcase, behind where the panel was, there was an accumulation of dust in all but one space about the size of a shoebox. Something had been put there some time prior to my parents purchasing the home in 1967 and this person knew about it and came back to get it. Whatever it was sat behind that panel for many years without us knowing it and was important enough to break in and come back to get it. They didn't bother anything else in the house. I REALLY wish I knew what it was.
