Money makes the world go round, as the old saying goes.
We could all use a little extra money, but imagine becoming a millionaire overnight! Maybe you find a family treasure hiding in your closet that could make you a lot of money.
For one man, buying a storage unit changed his life completely.
According to Dan Dotson, a star from the show Storage Wars and an auctioneer, a client bought a storage unit that was thought to be abandoned for just $500. If a storage unit hasn’t been paid for three months in a row, it can be auctioned off—something fans of the show already know.
On the show, people buy random storage units hoping to find something valuable inside.
One man opened his newly bought unit and found another safe inside, which had an incredible $7,500,000 in cash!
Dan Dotson shared this amazing story in a 2018 YouTube video. He explained that the man didn’t get to keep all the money because of an unfortunate situation.
In the three-minute video, Dan mentioned that a woman approached him at an event and said a family friend had bought a storage unit he auctioned off. Everyone was shocked to hear about the piles of cash inside.
The new owners of the unit then received a surprise call from the original owner’s lawyer, who offered them $600,000 to return the unit, cash included. They even raised the offer to $1.2 million!
The new owners chose to return the unit and the money, which left them with a profit of $1,199,500. Not a bad deal!
Dan believed that returning the cash was the right choice because they didn’t know where the money had come from in the first place.
This unusual story led to a lot of discussion in the YouTube comments, where people shared their opinions on what they would have done.
One person asked, “If there was that much money in the safe, why did they stop paying for the unit?”
Another commenter said, “I’d take their offer and be on my way, thanking the good Lord for the blessing,” while someone else agreed, “Take the offer. It’s the right thing to do.”
A fourth person suggested, “Keep the money and run. I wouldn’t have told anyone in the first place.”
Another commenter added, “I couldn’t sleep at night knowing my money was just sitting in a locker. And is that money taxable? If it is, I’d be gone—new name, new life with $7 million!”
А mоthеr gаins оnlinе аttеntiоn fоr thе shirt shе соmреllеd hеr sоn tо wеаr tо sсhооl.
A Texas mom decided to teach her son a lesson after she learned a valuable thing about his personaIity. The boy was causing trouble in school. Administrators at the school he attended came to his mom to explain that he was a bully toward other students at the educational institution.
The Texas mom claimed that her son went down the wrong path and was calling other students “idiots” and “stupid,” which is why the mom decided to make her bully son wear a T-shirt that proclaimed, “I am a BULLY.” Mom wanted her son to be recognized as a bully at Greenleaf EIementary School in his community.
She knew that other students at the school had heard that her son was a horrible person to other students. However, she wanted everyone to know that she believed them, and that’s why she forced her son to wear a T-shirt that humiliated him in front of hundreds of people at the school – not to mention thousands of people onIine who saw his mom’s social media post on Facebook. See the image of the shirt down below:
“He was calling other boys stupid (and) calling them idiots,” the Texas mom, Star, who asked that she be identified by her first name only, told KTRK-TV. “I’m a very old-school parent. I don’t coddle my children. I don’t sugarcoat the world to them.”
Star wanted as many people as possible to know that her son was a bully, so she posted a picture of the boy wearing the T-shirt to her Facebook account. Star wrote, “I posted it to reach out to the parents of any of the kids my son may have bullied so that each one of them couId get a personal apology.”
Although some people felt that Star went too far when it came to punishing her bully son, Star stood behind her actions and defended herself against critics in the online community. “I wanted to know what he learned from it, and he said, ‘I learned that I didn’t likе the way that that felt, and I don’t want anybody else to feel that way because of me,’” Star said. “That’s exactIy what I wanted him to take from it.” Professionals in the child development world do not support Star’s punishment.
Although her son was a bully who was hurting other children, a child psychiatrist at Baylor College of Medicine denounced Star’s treatment of her son. “Not a good idea to embarrass your child and solidify a negative identity in an elementary school child,” the child psychiatrist said. “She needs to find somebody to help her, and I think the school is one resource.” AIthough Star had critics on social media and across the internet, she claimed that her son’s school district approved of her decision. Splendora ISD said, “parents have the right to make important decisions and take certain actions on behalf of their child.” What do you think about this mom’s punishment of her bully son?
