Give the state a bill for 130+ years of storage fees.
THAT is an AWESOME idea!
Get a shark, and use the fallout from Kelo up in Conn. to give weight to their claim!
I believe that 130 years of "storage fees", including compounded interest due to a history of "lack of payment" might be worth MORE than the letters at auction!
Then use the proceeds to buy some tar and feathers, and grab that P.O.S. Judge, and re-introduce him to "Pre-Declaration of Independence" local justice!
