You be the Judge, decide this case?
Marianna and Jason Jones were the proprietors of an antique store. They attended auctions frequently to obtain items for their personal use and as inventory for their store. On June 4, 1999, they attended an auction sponsored by Antique Helper in Indianapolis. The rules of the auction were that the sale was without reserve and that all sales were final.
During the course of the auction, the Marianna and Jason purchased a safe for $50 that had been part of the Girard estate. The auctioneer told the bidders that the inside compartment of the safe was still locked, and that the required combinations or keys to unlock the safe were unavailable.
When Marianna took the safe to a locksmith several days later to have the safe opened, the locksmith found $22,000 inside. The locksmith phoned the police who impounded the money. The Girard estate sued to recover the money, and Mr. and Mrs. Jones claimed that the safe and its contents had been sold to them.
In my opinion the safe belongs to MARIANNA & JASON JONES with the reasonings that follow: 1) The safe was put up for auction by the estate. 2) the Girard estate did no actions to open the safe or have a locksmith open the safe when in possession of the estate 3) the safe was purchased by the Jones and the payment was satisfied and accepted by the Girard Estate. **With the evidence put forth the ruling goes to the MARIANNA & JASON JONES in addition the Girard Estate also shall add in Jones’ legal fees in final settlement of the matter.
