My buddy sent me this e-mail today, thought you guys might enjoy.

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. The modest farmhouse had been vacant for 15 years; the owner

and 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, 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 complimentary 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 thru the welds.



What was in the barn?



Go to HERE and start wishing you had
bought the place.
