I had saved so much stuff you just wouldn't believe it. When my husband

and I moved into our current house about 20 years ago his brother was

helping us move things into the house. Despite boxes being clearly marked

and instructions being clearly given his brother put my treasures in the

yard, left them out there when it started to rain very heavily and the boxes

were soaked through. Before I found out what had happened my husband's

brother realized he had ruined some of my stuff, and tried to cover his butt

by putting it all into a nearby dumpster so I would know what he had done..

Most of the stuff could have been salvaged because it had been carefully

wrapped in plastic before being put into the boxes. By the time he admitted

what he had done the dumpster had been emptied and the dumpster company said

it had been buried in the landfill. There was no chance of finding any of

it. My husband thinks there is a possibility his brother stole it and sold

it. He knew some of it was quite valuable, even then. Either way it's
gone, and I will not forget it. Needless to say, he is

not welcome in my home.
