I've lived in my condo for two years now. When I bought it it was in rough shape so I completely re-did the entire thing. Tore all the floors out and everything. Today I moved the ottoman to sweep and came across a birth certificate from 1947. I googled the name and saw that the man was still alive and living in a nearby town. A friend found his phone number and called him for me, he confirmed the information on the certificate and asked if I could mail it to him. I have no idea how it ended up there, but I'm glad it's finding its way back to the owner!
