Presenter of “Storage Wars” on American television, and also (concurrently) the famous auctioneer Dan Dotson told Twitter’s social network users about one amazing story, connected just with auctions.

At the beginning of this month, Dotson sold at one of the auctions. (city of Indio, California) closed safe deposit box, owner which either could not for some reason, or simply did not have time (forgot) to pay for it another rent. And this closed “cat in a poke” went under the hammer for just $ 500. However American, who bought this strange lot and then opened the safe with using a professional locksmith, discovered in the cell 7.5 million dollars.

Unfortunately (or fortunately for him), Dan writes in his tweet, the lucky owner of such an amazing lot could not take full advantage of your purchase – suddenly found the real owner of the safe and demanded that he return the money. Because the the plans of the American who bought the “golden safe” did not include judicial bickering, he amiably agreed to return the money for reward of 1.2 million dollars. And so it happened.

Dan Dotson’s tweet caused a wide resonance, many users Twitter felt that the American did the right thing, others condemned him for being soft-headed, because California law means everything the money now belonged to him. However, there were those who reminded that big money doesn’t always bring happiness, just remember the “lucky” who won millions in lotteries. For example, last year a resident of New Zealand won 10 million dollars and right there (from joy and euphoria) got into a mental hospital. There are more sad cases. So before the owner of such an amazing lot, apparently, was a test – and he stood it with honor, and therefore the remaining 1.2 million dollars, presumably, will bring more happiness to the rationalist than 7.5 million …

Indeed, many web users agree, in this stories are a lot of strange, as if the Americans simply experienced the Higher strength. Dig in to investigate what kind of eccentric he left millions in a safe deposit box and did not renew her rent, and then suddenly come to my senses, and then you won’t find this mythical millionaire.

By the way, as Dan writes, he first offered our hero 600 thousand dollars in reward for the return of millions, in in the end, the men agreed on a double amount. Interesting, does that mean anything in this whole mystical story? ..
