A bargain, since Zillow estimates its value at $21M! Maybe discounted because there are no window coverings in the bathroom… Still, disappointing that there are no pix of the ”buttlers” pantry!
Up until about 1979, our local newspaper included home addresses in their obituaries. We were taking burglary reports on most of those with no relative listed at the residence address of the deceased, (wife, caregiver, etc.). Threats of lawsuits finally brought it to an end. But it doesn’t matter. The media reports on restaurant/business XYZ to be closed for two months for renovations. Same thing happens, you know, like the French Laundry.
It really depends on your line of work. I had to go out and gather intelligence on drug dealers through informants, surveillance and wire tapping if I could justify it. A burglar sits at home and picks up the news paper for leads on jobs.
Yep…my uncle died a several years back just outside of Dallas. Funeral notice was published in the local rag. While everyone was mourning his passing, some total douchebag(s) broke into the house and cleaned it out. Proof positive that the human race is a total cesspool.
I know the owner and I have enjoyed an evening of wine in this apartment. It is a beautiful apartment, an urban palace combined from nine or so smaller units, if I recall correctly. As for the art, it’s legit and includes original Miró and Chagall works, and a Han Dynasty horse sculpture (if I recall correctly), among others. The owner is a serious collector of wine, brings some older gems to NYC wine events and I’m lucky and appreciative to have tasted many of them.
Experienced this with a friend and fellow wine nut recently. They were able to get a bicycle and TV’s among a few other items. Thankfully another friend had already cleaned out his Eurocave and transported the wines to a safe off site storage location. Not sure they would’ve known what he had but it would have been a big loss.
