Back in the early eighties when video shops were all the rage, I did a conversion of a corner sweetshop into a video store.
Evidently the husband of the shop owner had passed away 15 years prior and she had just shut the doors and lived in the back until she died. The shop was like a BBC set.
The new shop owner was a Greek entrepreneur who didn't even have time to take all the cards out of the cigarette packs etc. and just skipped the lot. We were rewiring the place so I had my partner running cables while I tackled the mains board. He shoved a cable through to reach the board, so I pulled the lino back to reveal four cut boards just in an ideal place. I lifted them and proceeded to pull a large number of manky bottles and cans out of the hole before finally pulling out THREE GUNS!!! They were all old and rusty but nevertheless a Luger and two revolvers.
