Amazing Finds in Storage Wars That Blow You Off | $7.5 Million Locker!
Storage Wars is a reality show with a simple premise that documents the battle between bidders and buyers for a storage unit abandoned by its owner. The show, which premiered on December 1, 2010, is currently airing its 12th season on A&E Network.
Every show episode has been exciting, from the crazy cast members to the lockers with valuable treasures. Some of the finds in the storage lockers include jewelry, old clothing, statues, newspapers and others. Here are five unexpected and epic items found in storage units on Storage Wars.
5. $7.5 Million Unit in Storage Wars
Dan Dotson is known for picking up the profits on the hit reality show. But, this time, he lost it. Moreover, Dan took to Twitter to reveal an incredible story: a woman came to him and talked about exhilarating details of a storage unit, which a man she knew had bought from Dan.
Dan said,
“An older Asian woman at the table next to me kept looking at me like she wanted to tell me something. Eventually, she walked up and told me her husband works with a guy who bought a unit from me for $500 and found a safe inside. And the first person they called to open it I guess couldn’t or didn’t. They called a second person and when that person opened it up… inside the safe they’re normally empty, but this time it wasn’t empty. It had $7.5million cash inside.”
Now, a question remains unanswered. Why had the original owner just left the money inside?
