    Ok this is weird that you posted this:

    I had a dream last night that I was going to an estate auction during a preview. I had caught wind that the owner was stashing a large amount of valuable items somewhere in the house.
    I found an old kitchen chair that had a false bottom in it, I opened it up and there were BAGS of gold nuggets and Bags of Raw Titanium Aura Quartz.
    I stuffed the bag back into the chair and went to bid.. then I woke up.

    I'll never know if I won and became filthy rich or not!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    Musta been a lucky day. I used to get excited when we'd flip cars over and all the spare change would fall out or when coke would dump off their vending machines before extracting the cash.

    I didn't read the article yet but I am betting it is an old wood console tv, the big 25" jobs with the hardboard screw on back...I used to hide certain periodicals there when I was a kid IYKWIM...

    I'm sure you won the bid cause you knew what the chair had in it
    Next time you dream go buy things you want you got the money
