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 .
He decided on a modest farmhouse that had been vacant for 15yrs.; the
owner and wife both had died, and there were no heirs.
The house was being 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 complementary 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 through the welds.
What was in the barn...............?
Go to:
and start wishing you had bought the place.
