Knodell是一位古董收藏家,他的人生中有大半的時間都在找尋舊東西和估價,日前他從德州一場遺產拍賣會上花了100美元 (約台幣3000元) 買了一個五斗櫃。

Knodell is an antiquer, spending a lot of his spare time at estate sales scoping out the goods. He recently purchased a $100 dresser from an estate in Missouri City, Texas. "It had a nice marble top," Knodell said in an interview. I hoped to use it in my dining room.

Knodell覺得這個櫃子的大理石檯面很漂亮,可以擺在他的餐廳裡頭。

 

但當他買完櫃子、和拍賣會的員工一起試圖將櫃子搬上車時,他們卻聽到了櫃子裡發出奇怪的聲響…但這幾個抽屜裡頭都清空了,應該沒有東西才對呀?

When he and a staff member from the sale tried to move the dresser, they heard a strange racket coming from inside. All the drawers were empty, so they couldn't figure out where the noise was coming from. Then they noticed a panel on the bottom - only it wasn't a panel, it was a secret compartment.

於是他們發現了這個櫃子除了3個抽屜外、最下層還有一個隱密的隔間…拉開隱藏的抽屜之後,發現裡面裝了許多舊幣、一些鑲有鑽石和祖母綠的珠寶、一捆頭髮和軍隊兵籍名牌,甚至還有內戰的紀事錄!

"When you look at the front of it, it looks like it has three obvious drawers with molding on the base, but the bottom has a secret drawer that opens up," Knodell said. The secret drawer contained old currency, jewelry with emeralds and diamonds, a lock of hair, military dog tags and even Civil War memorabilia.

想當然爾這些年代久遠的寶藏當然價值不菲,但Knodell卻沒有開心地認為賺到了並且把這些東西帶回家、而是選擇將這些珍寶還給五斗櫃的前所有人!

Most people would consider keeping the find, but for Knodell, it was out of the question. "I bought the chest drawers. I didn’t buy those things. If I kept them, I would never feel right about it. There would be a cloud over the whole thing. It’s a feeling more than anything else."

Knodell表示「我只有買這個五斗櫃而已,並沒有買裡頭的這些東西,如果我據為己有的話、或許會永遠都覺得很不好受…就像一片永遠籠罩著的烏雲一樣。」於是他聯絡了這個櫃子已故主人的兒子,並且將他老爸私藏的寶物全數歸還了。
