Some get better contents than others.
Sounds fake to me, or not something you would want to deal with if you consider why anyone would keep that much in a storage unit.
you have to wonder, where was the owner when the storage unit rental company was sending notices of non-payment/forfeiture pending.
how could the new owner get sufficient proof that the person claiming to be the original owner really is/was the original owner? maybe thru the rental company, maybe not. without that proof, no way would I even talk to the person or his (actual?) lawyer.
frankly, the whole story stinks (does not sound legit).
IF it was really abandoned ? I would have laughed at lawyer and hung up…probably drug money anyway. I am sure he IRS and Law would be knocking on your door once the story came out.
What’s funny is if you read the article it says that this is a story told to Dan by someone who knew someone who bought a locker at one of his auctions. It goes on to say that it was really noisy where the story was being recounted etc, etc.
I’m calling 100% pure BS with a cherry on top.
