Yes, but they always get a notice before they get so far in arrears that it will be auctioned, and if you had $7.5 million in the unit in a safe, and knew it, then you had opportuinity to pay the arrears before being locked out of the unit.
I can only assume (1) they put the safe in the unit not knowing it’s contents (idiots), or (2) the money was “hot” (idiots) and using it would have raised alarms, so they did not even retrieve just enough to pay their storage unit bills.
How is it theft? Purchased honestly. You could get gold coins or used tissues in a lien sale. You never know. Thats the terms of the purchase.
Thanks Simon Green. I'd keep my mouth shut, because it probably was stolen from some druglord, by the very guy who stopped making payments to store the stuff, for some reason. Gosh, I hope he's okay. /s
After getting an attorney, I would have the money checked for drug residue - heroin, opium, THC, PCP, etc. If it was clean, then I’d ask the IRS what could be legally done with it. If they say, it’s yours, legally, then get a good investment advisor/bank.
If it is dirty (assuming the original owners hadn’t contacted them), then I’d give it to the police. If no one claims it after a certain amount of time, you’d get it but keeping your name anonymous would be almost impossible.
I’d love to hear the explanation the “owners” have given the finder about how they got that much cash.
Play the lottery. It’s safer.
