Certainly! When our neighbors moved into the house across from us. They found a nearly mint Smith & Wesson M&P .38 Special in attic crawl space. The previous owner was in a nursing home with dementia and his son, the only heir, is mentally disabled from an auto accident.

He brought it to me wanting to know where the previous owers lived. I told him to keep it.

the previous owner built the house on family land after he came back from WWII, he and wife lived here until their deaths5 and 9 years ago, I'm not sure who died when, anyway the house went to a grandchild (who lives elsewhere...)I bought the house "As is, with contents".there were all sorts of things, hospital beds and wheelchairs, clothes , furniture, photo albums,etc. mostly junk to me. when i found the pistol, I was excited, to say the least! I spoke with my lawyer about it, he informed me that since my contract cited "all contents within" it belonged to me.so there it is. I did return all photos and family items to a family member.
I figure it was a bringback gun that sat in the closet for who knows how long.
