Thanks for sharing. It is really hard to believe someone would leave that much in value behind. Maybe the owner died?

If I owned the storage place, I'd look through the belongings first, before auctioning it off.

I bet the owner of the place didn't feel too good after hearing what he just gave away for $1,100!

I would never tell anyone that I had half a million dollars in small, easy to transport, untraceable package. No matter how proud I was of my shrewd and lucky purchase.

I'd quietly sneak it all in with the rest of my hoard and move my retirement age up a couple decades.

Things like this happen almost every day but never or seldom get reported. A flea marketer seller I know does that abandoned freight train box car bidding all the time. He has several warehouses full of merchandise that he sells at flea markets. That is all he does for a living and he makes a really decent amount. NONE of anything he gets is reported to anyone. Many others also participate in those abandoned storage lockers too and some make out with all kinds of fantastic items and again, NONE are reported to anyone. And the money they make selling those items too is never reported to anyone. Not sure in other areas of the country but around me no one pays any kind of taxes on items sold at flea markets, coin shows, camera shows, gun shows, etc.
Just can't figure out why anyone would say what they found in one especially cash or jewlery or anything.
