Interesting Sealed box used as an attic table for 30 years, then opened by Impress story 17.06.2023 17.06.2023 343 views Share 0FacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedinTumblrRedditWhatsappTelegram How much junk accumulates in the attics and basements of apartment buildings. And the owners don’t always have the time to clean it up. The owners of an old house in England didn’t dismantle the junk that included several iron boxes as soon as they bought it. Sometimes, going upstairs, the owners used the largest drawer as a table. Thirty years later, however, they decided to make the house more comfortable and invited an acquaintance to help them dismantle the attic of unnecessary junk. The man got to work, and when he got to the iron boxes, he examined them carefully and said with confidence that they were old-style safes. With the owners’ permission he opened all the small boxes, but they were empty. The big safe, which had been used as an attic table for more than thirty years, took some doing. He used a screwdriver and other tools. When the safe yielded, all those present froze in amazement: it was filled to the top with English pounds. When they counted it, it turned out that more than twenty thousand pounds were inside the safe. The owners of the fortune they had found had done the right thing; they had divided it equally. And, despite the fact that in terms of modern money it was not very much, everyone was happy. It must be said that the owners’ attempts to remember who owned the house before that did not lead to anything. Too much time had passed. However, they are sure that the first thing to do when buying a house is to take out all the stuff. After all, there may be not only a lot of useful things, but real wealth, which obviously should not wait 30 years to be found. Share 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedinTumblrRedditWhatsappTelegram
