Reply #26: I once found a valuable baseball card collection in a closet in an old rent house.

The closet had been left piled with a lot of junk and clothing. There were a lot of boxes in there. I just left it all alone assuming the owner would come back some time. A few weeks after I moved in the former tenant's brother shows up and asks if there is a closet full of stuff that was left behind. I showed him the closet and he went right to the back of it and picked up a long, narrow box. He started showing me all of these cards, some signed from the 40's and 50's. He was really glad to get the collection back. He said the rest of the stuff was his brothers and that he would be back to get it, but he never came back.
