Yes, he mailed them to the house, that's where I saw them. Then Ed flew out to California and returned them so he could look at some other things the old fella had. The guy lived in an ancient trailer on a piece of land that was worth millions of dollars. While Ed was there some Real Estate Scalper actually came beating on the door and the guy threatened to call the police before he would leave. He told Ed it happened daily, that his land was worth millions, but he had no reason to sell and didn't need the money.
