A New York man retired. He
wanted to use his retirement money wisely, and decided
to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal. The
modest farm house had been vacant for 15 years.
The owner and his 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
that were 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 had made
an offer on the place.
The New York guy bought it at just
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 heavy
duty grinders and cut through the welds.
