[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 9816191, member: 22"]I was paid £300 by lawyers to clear a small apartment in the city. (Feb 21) Everything had to be removed and disposed of. The occupant had smoked himself to death, he was the same age as me with no relatives and no will. There was nothing worth having, everything was either waste or scrap metal, (I mean everything.) In a walk-in cupboard in the bedroom there were 3 old TV's stacked up, all U/S, behind the TV's was a pair of stereo speakers, under the speakers was a metal box with a glass lid, gaffer taped up. Imagine my surprize when I opened it. [ATTACH=full]488606[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]488607[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]488608[/ATTACH] £37k which was $50k at the time:eek: I know lawyers are rich enough and they wouldn't want the rubbish returned. He had no relatives, so if the lawyers had been straight this would have gone to the treasury minus their fees. I put it to good use.:rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
