It could’ve been owned (or even stolen, I suppose) by someone who is now dead or in prison.

Good article - asking for guesses on how much it will sell for.

I’m betting it will go at auction for $126,000.

Check the trunk! There might be a ‘59 Gibson Les Paul or a ‘52 Fender Telecaster in there too!

WOW, the state is harsh, didn’t even let the people clean it up so that more money would have been rec’d, now they are selling it cheap.

The state is penny wise pound foolish.

Dumb Government.
