Dear Justus, My father died last year. Shortly after his funeral I sold his car to a friend in need for $200. Her husband let it slip a couple of days ago that they had discovered a cane tucked beneath the front seat with more than $300 stuffed inside. The bills had rotted, but they were able to take them to the bank and exchange them for new ones. They have spent the money.
I am torn. Shouldn't they have told me and perhaps offered to split that money? Or, since they bought the car, were all of its contents theirs? They got the car AND made $100 on the deal.
FUMING IN WASHINGTON STATE!

Hello Michelle,
Though I agree they should have shared with you their findings especially when they knew you were in need of some financial assistance. But you did sell them the car "as is" for $200. Would you have expected to go in half on any of the more costly repairs or in the cleaning? You might just have to suck it up this time. Before you sell anything, make sure you've thoroughly examine it to avoid situations like this. "Experience is a hard teacher, it gives the test then teaches the lesson!"
