Unexpected Good FortuneTravelling through Seattle a good 15 years ago, I remembered an old friend I used to blow up Action Men with. We were bored, nothing to lose , so I looked him up in the phonebook. He was the only one of that name in there. "Come and stay," goes he.
Me and my mates were living in a car at that point so a bed was a novelty. After searching for a while, we rock up to a very posh mansion on Puget Sound with its own Helipad. "Come flying," goes he.
Has your luck held out recently?

Not me but...My mate who I will refer to as 'D' due to legal reasons...
He's a sparky and was contracted to do a job in an empty flat which just so happened to be above a recently abandoned off-licence. He was working late on his own and for some reason or other needed to rip up the floorboards.... Well, he discovered he had found access to the abandoned off-licence below. He removed a few more floorboards and decided to lower his ladders down... He found the shop still contained lots and lots and lots of stock.
The beer and cider had gone off, there were no spirits in the shop, but what it did contain was hundreds of wine bottles...
So, a quick phone call to his brother and within the hour they had loaded the van up, finished off the job, replaced the floor boards and buggered off to get very pissed.
He popped around my house the next day with about six or seven bottles! Result.
