Amazing garage find

This came to me just yesterday. Amazing garage find!


OK, so imagine you live or want to live in Portugal and you want to move.

You find a lovely farm house set in a decent plot of land. The place has been empty for 15 years! So you buy it.

Whilst exploring your new property you find a large barn in the trees. The door is padlocked shut and its all rusted solid. So you grind the padlock open.........

Now I know who broke into my barn. Thanks for letting the IRS in on my little secret.

It's not exactly a joke, but the explanation for the find is incorrect.

There is no barn. There are no trees.
It is a warehouse in Lisbon.

There are a few other threads on this.
