Wouldn't you know a lawyer would take it upon himself to find an heir to
a fortune that no one knew existed and not exist if not for the hard
work of a third party. Why he had to find a person who had no idea that
they were even related to the original artist, (and who the Artist
probably didn't know either), who's first, and probably last reaction to
the trove of negatives would have been to dispose of the junk. All for
justice, no thought of the possible huge payday involved.
There are times that Justice is called for and then there are times that
Lawyers are fully deserving of the disgust that one feels turning over a
rock one finds something slimy and a bit repulsive.

So the upshot is: if you should ever see an anonymous box of negatives
or prints at a garage sale, put it back down and walk quickly away
from it.
