Former marketing director Emil Knodel loves antiques. So when he heard there would be a sale in a neighboring estate, he thought he might find something of value there.
On the day of the sale, a piece of furniture immediately caught his eye. A beautiful 19th century chest of drawers with a marble top that would fit perfectly in his dining room․ The purchase was fantastic considering that Emil managed to buy it back for just $100. It turned out that there was a secret compartment in the chest of drawers, in which there were real treasures.
“There were gold jewellery, diamond rings and many other things. We had a real adrenaline rush,” said Jeff Allen. Nevertheless, the two men decided to immediately return the valuables to the owners of the mansion, from whom the chest of drawers was purchased. Here is how Emil explains his act: “I bought a chest of drawers. I did not buy these things. If I had left them to myself, I could not have slept peacefully.
I would be constantly tormented by a feeling of conscience. “I am a former Marine and I always try to do the right thing. The son remembered this chest of drawers from his childhood, although he had no idea about the secret compartment.
