This was posted at a Forum i frequent.


A NY 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 15yrs.; 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 t hru the welds.

What was in the barn...............?

Go to; [www.intuh.net]
and start wishing it you had bought the place

I remember reading it somewhere before, but never saw the cars. That's... staggeringly vast.

This for real? Why were the doors welded shut in the first place? Are the cars stolen? Coz if not then score!

This is quite old, innit? What's the post-picture story? Did he sell them or keep them or what?
