He bought a storage unit for 390 pounds and found in it that changed his life... and disappointment

An American man who was a fan of bidding on storage units of unknown owner, thought that he had finally stumbled by an incredible stroke of luck, when he opened his storage unit, which he bought for 390 pounds, to find in it nearly six million pounds in cash, but his joy evaporated, replaced by disappointment, when he pounced Lawyers to snatch it from his hands, but he did not come out of this empty-handed.

The owner of storage units named Dan Dotson recounted how a customer of his bought the storage unit, which is usually sold at auctions based on estimated luck, and found inside it a locked safe that, as usual, was expected to be empty.

But when he was finally able to open it with the help of a specialist, a thunderbolt awaited him, as it turned out that the safe had $7.5 million (£5.8 million) in cash inside.

The man thought he had just become a millionaire, but it was a short time that separated him from the coming of a number of lawyers and legal agents asking to hand over the safe and the money to its owners.

According to the "Daily Star" newspaper.

The lawyers first offered the man a reward of £465,000 for the money, an amount that was naturally refused, given that he had legal ownership over his purchase of the storage unit.

But in the face of this huge sum of money, the lawyers did not stop there, of course, and on the second attempt, the man was offered £930,000 and decided to cut his "losses", avoiding a potential legal case that could be daunting and protracted.

This hobby is of great interest, especially in the United States of America, where container-like storage units are auctioned, whose owners have left them, died or been imprisoned, and hobbyists bid for them, in the hope of obtaining a treasure or an artifact, or something of great value. .
