SAUGUS (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) The owner of a junk removal company in Saugus returned decades old savings bonds worth some big money to a customer on Saturday.
Leo Guarente, owner of the Junk Depot, tells FOX 25 that last week he helped a woman from Medford dispose of furniture. The woman's mother recently died of cancer.
Guarente says his crew helped the woman go through items inside a hope chest. She took out what she wanted and then the crew threw it in the back of their truck.
Guarente's discovery came at a pretty ideal time for the business owner. He is currently taping a pilot for a reality television show he plans to pitch to A&E.
While going to another job, Guarente and his workers found savings bonds from 1972 that hold a present day value of over $110,000 inside the chest.
