Oh man I hope he finds that bond owner. The owner may give this storage buyer a million of it. I think that would be happy ending. Some would be jealous and keep them hidden being bitter. This is a good guy. You can tell. Wouldn't hurt anyways for him to get reward. Gosh, hr bought fair in square after all.
Bonds aside, I bet there was at least a couple thousand dollars worth of other stuff. All you naysayers should go jump in a lake. There was, as the reporter said a lot of family stuff too. Kudos to you Ryan for doing the right thing.
How much was the finder's fee. Great publicity and quick way of finding the owner of bonds! Smart thinking. But everyone knows you were paid something by the original owner!!! So just fucking spill it! How much u make?
It just gose to show you there are good out there still .rayn you have a heart there a lot of poeple that would not do what you are doing god bless you and they at least give u a reward for giving it back .
It's not unusual. I do the same and found a trunk of a military uniforms and medals including Purple Heart....sent them back to a cousin of the decent. They belong in the family. Figured it was my best unit ever around $20k worth of goods. But you are contracted by bidding to give personals back sooo....where is the line.
So this guy knows he is contracted to give personal belongings back and here he is on TV acting like the good samaritan and giving the personal things back which he is obligated to do so anyway. WOW, he is good. I would try to find the family and give the personal things back because that is a part of their family history that can't be replaced. Even if I wasn't contracted to do so.
Listen I would try to change my name to whatever is on those bonds before i just give them back.. He obtained them fair and square and I the "proper identification" whats the issue then?
The only reason this guy is trying to find the owner isn’t just to give it back he is smart he wants to find the guy give it back and see if you gets a reward for doing good cause he knows he can’t cash them in himself if he could I bet he wouldn’t be doing the same thing he thinking of the $$$$ not the owner of the goods
You would think the storage company would have the contact information of the person who rented the fucking storage unit How fucked up can people get? Anyway I see a lot of comments hear from people saying well if he could cash the man he would cash them and so on.. come on people so some fucking morals instead of desperation and breed
He should get a finders fee. Period. If he doesn't get a damned thing.. I would be pissed off. Hell if I found out I had like 16 million dollars.. I would go ahead and give him 8. Because THAT is the right thing to do.
We get it you found him but why not go into detail on the rest of the story??? Like if he was able to cash those and become a millionaire or something like that???? And don't say for private reasons because that's not an excuse even if you say it is ...then why even post the video
The dude can't cash in the bonds because his name is not on them. If he finds the person whose name is on the bonds then he can work out a finders fee and make some money off the deal
Fairly easy to cash those bonds. All he needs is the bill of sale for the unit and a notarized statement that they came from the unit. But returning them is the moral thing to do.
He can not cash the bonds. Only the person who's name is on the bonds can cash them. Sooooo......the right thing to do is find that person, tell them what you found, and negotiate a finders fee. I would say 50% is about right.
dan miller. That is one way to look at it. If you would just return it then you are the better man. I call bullshit on that though. This is lost money. The rightful owner, if still alive probably is not even aware. If it was me, I would gladly split 50/50. Now who is the greedy FUCK.
dan miller. Uuhh nope. Those bonds are in the possession of the finder. The only one that can cash them is whoever's name in on the bonds. They each need each other or else nobody gets anything. If my name was on the bonds, I would be grateful to split 50/50. 50% of something is better than a 100% of nothing.
Honestly, if it had such sentimental value, why was it left in a storage locker? Take what you can get, and sell it. The other family didn't miss it then, they won't miss it now. But now you have been on TV talking about the value, I bet a lot of families come forward to claim "strange Uncle Bob's" property.
Legally change your name to "Karl Sarkision Jr." Get a drivers license, and passport in your new name. Hire an attorney, and have them "cash your daddy's bonds." Then send me 5% as a finders fee... :)
Bonds and certificates may appear to be a fortune. Are they of real value?. since 1927 many firms have failed. Also mergers, acquisitions, sell offs, delisting, bankruptcies, receiverships... ect. Stocks, bonds and/or called in and if not redeemed within a specific time become dead. ie.. I have one such stock. (300 shares). impossible to sell or write off. Trade halted to due to executive embezzlement and value eventually went to zero. ie.. my dad bought stocks in the 50-60's, some mining stock, we did a search and could not find an active company. Thusly Buyer's bargain. :-).. there are some vintage stocks of value it will take an investigative effort.
Only the name bearer can cash those. He pretends to a nice guy..by saying, it's the right thing to do. Lolol..no..you can't cash those only the owner of those can. So really your just trying to get the money..lol..
The bonds can only be cashed by the named owner, and/or his children after going to court to claim ownership. So returning them to the family is obviously more profitable than framing them.
I would do the samething because when it's all said and done and when we take our last breath No matter what you believe there will be a reckoning a judgement call it what you will besides iv done enough fucked up stuff i don't need to do anymore harm to myself
That’s a color photo of man in his probably late thirty’s to early forty’s some of the bonds date back to the 1920’s written out in his name. The picture of him at 1:53 looks like it’s in the 80s maybe 70s. How did he buy a bond in the 1920s makes no sense
Based on Law he can go to court since it was abandoned and bought legally he actually owns them 100%. Court Cases dictate that along with Supreme Court Rulings. Bought as is where is sight unseen all contents belong to the buyer. He needs a Federal Judge's order and of course the IRS will take their part as earned income. 40% tip the IRS.
Nope, don't think so. They aren't bearer bonds. Technically, they would escheat tot he State, who would undertake an effort to find the owner. Looks like something shady was going on with the owner of the bonds. Was the owner murdered? Were they purchased with dirty money? Who the heck knows. All I can say is that after the broadcast, the Feds began an investigation.
Lol, that's why he wants to return them. He can't use them so he's hoping the guy would come forth so he can play saint and hopefully get some cash too. 😂😂🤦🏽♂️
But didn't the stock market crash in 1929? Two years after he said the dates were printed on those notes in 1927. He doesn't say he researched those either, so I'd love to hear an update when it becomes available.
They're no good to him, so I'm sure he's trying to find the owner so he can hopefully get a finders fee. No "doing the right thing" without a price, huh ?
Since he bought the unit they belong to him;so he's going through due process and a waiting period and at some point he will be able to claim cash or the bank will offer to but them at some kind of discount rate.
Still looking for the owner of some of those myself . Not worth millions but several thousand . Also found old stock certificates that were worth 3500 and 1500 in the late 1930s wish I could have cashed those in but they are not worth anything now . Maybe in the early 1980s they were still good and worth a fortune
ohh its the right thing to do because when i went to the bank to find out if i could get any money, they asked for my id and i told them this isn't my shit. They then laugh me out of the bank. So now i'm hoping i could find the rightful owner and maybe strike a deal with him to get some money.. LOL SUCKAAAA!!
Here is what I would have done. Once I found out I could not cash them, I would found a guy with that name, not the real one but another one with that name. Then I would have had a lawyer draw up a legal document so that I get 50 percent of the take. The other option would of been to maybe change your first and last name to that name, then wait a year.. then cash em in one at a time?
Oh man I hope he finds that bond owner. The owner may give this storage buyer a million of it. I think that would be happy ending. Some would be jealous and keep them hidden being bitter. This is a good guy. You can tell. Wouldn't hurt anyways for him to get reward. Gosh, hr bought fair in square after all.
You're a good honest man!! Rare quality to have honesty!!
It always happens when we get old. We buy things move and we forget where we put things.
PURE CLASS I hope it works out for both of them
Great guy, even if some are saying he couldn't cash them, but he's been offered thousands.
Bonds aside, I bet there was at least a couple thousand dollars worth of other stuff. All you naysayers should go jump in a lake. There was, as the reporter said a lot of family stuff too. Kudos to you Ryan for doing the right thing.
Awesome you're a good man. God bless you
Here because of the inja content.. but respect for doing the right thing 👍👍🙏🇬🇧
More car content please 👍👍👍
damn... what luck to stumble across millions and then return it back. that's honesty.
Amen good for you brother..
That's incredibly admirable.
Follow up video please. Would love to know what happened
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you I love it
Great video thank you brother
Id be changing my name then wait a year then cash out lol
How much was the finder's fee. Great publicity and quick way of finding the owner of bonds! Smart thinking. But everyone knows you were paid something by the original owner!!! So just fucking spill it! How much u make?
Hi,
Where is the update video?
Would love to see it!
When are you going to post the follow up
He has the right if the person who is named on them is dead. Because they can not claim them even if they have next of kin
It just gose to show you there are good out there still .rayn you have a heart there a lot of poeple that would not do what you are doing god bless you and they at least give u a reward for giving it back .
lisa franks not really, only reason his giving it back is because the dude name is on the bonds, and he can't cash it
he couldn't cash it so he turned it in for a reward.
Good for you Ryan
Ryan...lemme hold $30.
I found him in 49 seconds and I'm in Ireland. Maybe Harper doesn't have the internet
Dude. I hope u get at least a quarter of its value. That's what I'd do 4 u if I was him
Oh what a nice guy nice guy. I’m sure the family would love to have them back. I don’t nice $finder for you make get money pool
I hope he finds them
The reason he's not keeping any of it is because his name is not on the certificates therefore he legally cannot cash them in.
Matt Gage actually we found the man...gave it all back and helped him...he was homeless and living in his car.
I think that is awesome. I'm glad you were able to find him and help him get back on his feet.
wait he bought that storage unit, which included the bonds,
does that not mean he is now the legal owner of those bonds.
It's not unusual. I do the same and found a trunk of a military uniforms and medals including Purple Heart....sent them back to a cousin of the decent. They belong in the family. Figured it was my best unit ever around $20k worth of goods. But you are contracted by bidding to give personals back sooo....where is the line.

WOW, he is good. I would try to find the family and give the personal things back because that is a part of their family history that can't be replaced. Even if I wasn't contracted to do so.
Because the name was on the bond...he can
So in other words he is only giving it back in hopes of getting a piece of the pie and has nothing to do with it being the right thing to do.
Listen I would try to change my name to whatever is on those bonds before i just give them back.. He obtained them fair and square and I the "proper identification" whats the issue then?
why is this woman waving her hands around, invisable flys?? talking with your hands is an art she ant got.
Most likely not worth anything. A certificate doesn’t mean it’s liquidable
The only reason this guy is trying to find the owner isn’t just to give it back he is smart he wants to find the guy give it back and see if you gets a reward for doing good cause he knows he can’t cash them in himself if he could I bet he wouldn’t be doing the same thing he thinking of the $$$$ not the owner of the goods
Who would leave bonds in a storage unit,sounds like bull
Alzheimer’s bro
good man
Return so he can get part of the $$$
where is the update?
What if the guy died ho would get the money then ?
The owner is an armenian!
Rayn did you find the guy they belong to ???????
lisa franks yes I did
+Fozzy Osbourne LMAO
ryan5733 what happened???
really wtf
Bullshit story. Says he found him. Says he will post a follow up, the next day or so. Nothing. Just utter bullshit.
LOL...Yes he wants to return it to the Family only because it not worth anything to him now... But he hopes they will give him some money for it...
omg what if the guy is dead than what
Hey that’s me give me it back
LOL
If his intention was to return other people's property then why go to an action. He knows that he can't cash them because he tried to cash them.
He is returning them because of one reason lol becouse he can’t cash them out
You would think the storage company would have the contact information of the person who rented the fucking storage unit
How fucked up can people get?
Anyway I see a lot of comments hear from people saying well if he could cash the man he would cash them and so on.. come on people so some fucking morals instead of desperation and breed
He should get a finders fee. Period. If he doesn't get a damned thing.. I would be pissed off. Hell if I found out I had like 16 million dollars.. I would go ahead and give him 8. Because THAT is the right thing to do.
did you ever find the family?
Kiddos to you for doing the 100% right thing! You will be blessed🤗🙏🏼 finally a great story.....
We get it you found him but why not go into detail on the rest of the story??? Like if he was able to cash those and become a millionaire or something like that???? And don't say for private reasons because that's not an excuse even if you say it is ...then why even post the video
The dude can't cash in the bonds because his name is not on them. If he finds the person whose name is on the bonds then he can work out a finders fee and make some money off the deal
Its ryans property he could have gone to court and he would've been a millionaire, hes going to regret this for the rest of his life
@@staytight6340 6 years later i don't regret it....but i do think about what if i would have kept it.....the guy blew it
Fairly easy to cash those bonds. All he needs is the bill of sale for the unit and a notarized statement that they came from the unit. But returning them is the moral thing to do.
The valuable ones were bearer bonds..
Any update video? Way to go...Harper!
I found him and gave it all back..some of that stuff ended up in a museum
cool karma pays back 10 fold..
He can not cash the bonds. Only the person who's name is on the bonds can cash them. Sooooo......the right thing to do is find that person, tell them what you found, and negotiate a finders fee. I would say 50% is about right.
Deplorable Trumper exactly what I was thinking
I think it would be worth it to change you name!
Check It Out. Why?
dan miller. That is one way to look at it. If you would just return it then you are the better man. I call bullshit on that though.
This is lost money. The rightful owner, if still alive probably is not even aware.
If it was me, I would gladly split 50/50. Now who is the greedy FUCK.

50% of something is better than a 100% of nothing.
wow this guy has a heart of gold..a real gentleman and a scholar😊👍👍
if he could have cashed them, we would not of know, but alas he can not - so lets try and find the owner, might get a finders fee.
This is indeed a good & decent person.
well Ryan..you never posted the follow up.
damnit...lol I want to know the outcome :\
I found him
@@ryanharper4638 details please?
He was homeless living out of his car. And he had no idea his grandpa left any of this for him.

I am Usher his grandfather bought them.
I would keep it and pass it on to my family. until a bargain on my behalf at least half would be mine. until then, nobody wins!
When I buy storage units everything I buy is mine except pictures and paperwork
Handles old documents with lit cigarette dangling from his mouth....
i wanna buy abandoned stuff and find priceless treasures so i can give it all back. Stupid.
Did anyone find the Armenian owner of the stuff???
Follow up?

reno flames but still the actual bonds are not in his name
reno flames but that had nothing to do with morals and he has morals
The owner developed dementia and was setting them aside for his grandson’s future..he completely forgot he had them
I wonder if they ever found the owner or his decedents.
He going to have alot of people hitting him up
yes I found him
ryan5733 dis the real owner give you something?
So what happened man ?
You only gave us half the story and I'm dyin here ! lol
I hope he gave you a large reward? Was he surprised by this?
ryan5733
What happened
I will post a video that explains exactly what happened tomorrow it's actuly an even crazier than what I found
Haha! Ya'll believe everything
WHERE IS THE UPDATE VIDEO?!?!!?!?!

i sure did gave it all back
Lit cigarette hanging out of your mouth during a news interview....classy guy
ohigan didn't know they started to film yet
they might be worthless today...
oh, he can't cash em in... so ... he doesn't have much choice...
Since he bought the unit they belong to him;so he's going through due process and a waiting period and at some point he will be able to claim cash or the bank will offer to but them at some kind of discount rate.
actually, they belong to the named person on them, or their heirs. IF they were bearer bonds, or the like he could simply cash them in.
Exactly..named person,heir,waiting period.
We actually found the man...he was homeless and living out of his car. We where able to help him....

Thank you! What is the end of the story? Didn't find the family? I have to subscribe to you! I want to see end of your story...
Wow! What an incredible human ! I would be like well i should keep a million for being a good person..lol..
He did this because he can't cash them... hoping the owner would give him a kick back
This story is over a year old.. kmph.com/news/local/man-finds-fortune-in-auctioned-storage-unit
Point..?
worth nothing since the currency was changed 2 times since then...
Yeah I would have gone to hell, i would have kept everything
Shit I must be evil cause damn the owner
