cars in barns

As a young man, I stumbled across a barn while hunting. I could see some light color stripe on the barn from a distance. The strip was a 1968/9 corvette, convertible. All the tires were flat, the top was down, keys in the switch. The next week I when to the court house to fine the owner of the property. Not a major issue. After scraping up all the money I could I went to see the owner. I knocked on the door, a lady in her late 50' came. The car was her sons. He was in the army and serving over seas. He told his mom to keep the car until he came back from service.
Her husband stop me as I left. Their son bought the car new and went to serve in Viet-Nam and was missing in action. He never came back. The barn burnt in the 90's. The car was still inside.

Be careful what you seek.
