A New York man retired and decided to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal. The modest farmhouse and barn had been vacant for 15yrs. The owner and wife both had died and there were no heirs, so the house had been sold to pay taxes. The house was small and the large barn had steel doors and they had been welded shut. Nobody wanted to go to the extra expense to see what was in the barn, and it wasn't complimentary to the property anyway......so, nobody made an offer on the place and the barn was never opened.
The NY guy bought it at just over half of the property's worth, moved in, and set about to tear in to the barn, curiosity was killing him. He and his wife bought a generator, and a couple of grinders and cut thru the welds.
What was in the barn...............?
