Here is one estate auction that could have turned out to be a real blast. It seems a suitcase with military grade C4, dynamite, and blasting caps which were aging and probably unstable were almost put up for auction. Good think they checked what was in that suitcase before the sale.

That would have been a rather different and unexpected way to clean out the garage, yes. Talk about an unexpected inheritage!

Inheritance.

Oops. I should be more careful when writing responses. I'm wondering why that U.S. Navy veteran had those explosives in his possession. Fireworks for the fourth of july?
