The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?
So much in this story.
For instance: imagine the value of 30 kg of paper dollar bills from the 1900’s, after they’d been in a wall for a hundred years.
Approximately zero.
A guy I knew whose cousin was a NYC garbage man told me his cousin once hauled off a big load of ‘junk’ from the house of a jeweler who had died. In one of the boxes, they found some gold bars.
Garbage men are not supposed to keep anything they find in the garbage, but of course they do. They all have a big compartment in the truck to stow any goodies they find.
“... failing to pay $511,500 in code-enforcement liens”
Why isn’t THIS the story ??? Just how can the bureaucrats THAT WORK FOR US, acquire this sort of debt ???
MARCH ON CITY HALL
I’m imagining the reaction of Serge Storms to the news of the demolition of a house full of “Florida junk”....

Way to cause a run on the dump...
Sweet find! Take a metal detector to the dump and search for true buried treasure!
> “The last owner of the house, Lamarr LoMax Lowe, abandoned it last year after failing to pay $511,500 in code-enforcement liens including daily $250 fines for more than 10 years.”
We’re the code violations assessed before or after the treasure trove was found. I can almost see a special session of the city council meeting...
“How much do you think those silver coins are worth?”
“Estimating by the number of them probably $500K”
“Okay, I want code enforcement to create violations totallling at least $500K”
I’m on it sir. I’ll even add in a little extra just in case there’s a little more than we thought”
There’s more stuff hidden behind the walls and in nooks and crannies of old houses than many people realize. Some years ago in my hometown of La Crosse, Wisc. they tore down an old house. Inside the walls the wreckers found thousands of dollars worth of old silver dollars which had been fastened to the insides of the walls. I never did find out what happened to the old coins.
And the secret service is coming to take back the coins in 5..4...3...2...1...
It’s time for the state, like in this case, the state of Florida, to step up, pass a statute that limits the punishment a county can do to a resident/citizen. Yearly limit or lifetime limit, but $500,000 will stress one out to kill them.
This is about legalized theft, nothing more.
For example, a 1910 liberty head nickle might have a minimum value of maybe $2.50.......
Sure she's not kidding. By "dump" I bet she means the pockets and lunch boxes of the wrecking crew.
