The Battered Suitcase
"Money can't buy you love," but sometimes it can buy you luck -- as an Englishman who bought a battered suitcase in Australia found out.
Fraser Claughton, an Englishman vacationing in Australia, purchased a battered suitcase for $40 at an Australian flea-market. Claughton got more than he bargained for when he found that the suitcase was filled with valuable Beatles memorabilia.
Mr. Claughton admits he is not particularly interested in the Beatles and just wanted the suitcase. As it turned out, the case contained a virtually priceless collection of Beatles memorabilia, including signed photos, concert programs and unreleased recordings, according to the London Times.
Fab Four aficionados are speculating that the treasure trove is the long-lost archive of Beatle crony Mal Evans, considered by many fans to be the Holy Grail of Beatlemania.
The moral of the story: empty your suitcase before you sell it!
