People all over the world are celebrating the exquisite "find" Fraser Claughton supposedly purchased for $36 at an Australian flea market. A suitcase containing a over 400 pictures and unreleased recording sessions of the Beatles.

Am I the only one here who thinks this story smells? And now people all around the world are once again led to believe that multi-million dollar collections like this are findable in a flea market. As if, whoever was selling this suitcase wouldn't have bothered to take a look at what was inside? At least one newspaper calls the guy's claim to have purchased the lot at a flea market, "suspicious". It seems if you come across something like this, a perfect excuse to avoid having to explain how you got your hands on it is to say you picked it up at a flea market, and "whoops" we can't find who sold it to you. Yea right.
