From a reader in response to the February 23 Kovels Komments: “You mentioned some places in the home where people sometimes hide ‘Treasures.’ Another good place to look is in the old ‘clothes chutes’ where laundry items could be dropped to the basement. Check for nails inside the chute that have string on them. I knew a guy who found a plastic bottle at the end of the string with $500 cash in it.
