Had a similar story in England. An old reclusive farmer died and left
his very well cared for tractors and machinery to relatives. They
immediately had an auction,which was very well advertised. All
items went for top book price including an MF35 complete with a
toolbox mounted on the fender. The buyer got the tractor home
and cut off the tiny padlock from the tool-box only to find £5000
inside. He was honest and went back to the sellers but they in turn
told him they did not know it was there and he could keep it. Nice
luck penny!

On the income tax thing- do an Enron- list the value
of the safe on you books for $26,000 and depreciate
it. Spend the money 'cause all the value is in the
"Safe", Enron had some bridge bolts on their books
for several million a peice

A few years back i was doing some digging for a customer over a summer and he kept moving this double door safe around with his fork lift till one day he broke it when it tipped over . Before that I had been trying to buy it from him but he would sell. after it got broke then he wanted to sell it . being broke and not feasibly repairable i refuse to buy it .He had a couple part time scraper try to do something with it but they had no clue how to scrap a safe . finally he asked what I could do with it. I charged him to load it on my truck ,transport it to my house and dispose of it, which cost him close to $250.00. When I was trying to buy it
my higest offer to him was $750.00 ,only because I knew it had something in it and I knew it had some historical local history.the kicker is as I was scraping out the safe I found about 30 coins from the mid 1800's which I got almost $1000.00 for them . by the way I got about $350.00 for the scrap.
