Don't tell your family what you've got - they may pop you into a home to take it!
A couple of years ago there was an interesting story out of England in which an elderly woman died leaving some Fra Angelico paintings in her bedroom. Her nephew made what struck me as some ill-informed comments. Here's more evidence that Ms. Preston's nephew was not only ill-informed about his aunt, but is a twit - she had PILES of stuff in her house: millions of pounds worth of art and books.
