Literally everyone would probably do the exact same thing

When i was renovating my 3 bedroom flat in London earlier this year i managed to find so many things like cigarette boxes from the 60-70’s. There was also pieces of newspapers but the main and probably the most important thing i found was really old coins. We British people use pounds now but back then it was things like crowns and shillings. It got me into coin collecting i have a massive collection now. There was also a painting signed and dated 1975, the artist was a Jewish man who lived in London as is still alive today!

So, to clarify, that room wasn't always blocked off. It used to be the closet in the managers office. What most likely happened was that someone found it and handed it to the theatre, and the manager put it there and forgot about it. The closet was then sealed during a past renovation, and it wasn't rediscovered until the collapse of the adjacent washroom wall. This is from an article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

She might have just been going to the bathroom & needed her hands free. :) My Mom almost forever-lost a ring that way-took it off to cook, tucked it behind a pipe so it wouldn't fall, then found it in the nick of time on the last walkthrough before the house was sold. :)

I don't know what it is about photos from the past that makes one sad and happy at the same time. How magical and nostalgic for the family. Wonderful.❤

This is such a beautiful story!! So glad they were able to get in touch with their family members. 🥺💗

What a cool story. I LOVE that the entire family arrived to the theater to hug it out.

What a meaningful time for this family to share together. You can tell it was a big deal because the whole family is gathered.

What's also amazing these days is that a movie theater has been in business since 1958. So many theaters have gone out of business or the chains have built new megaplexes and closed the older, smaller ones.

This is so touching. ❤️ It would be really neat if the couple remained friends with the Culbreth Family!

Such a beautiful ending❤.

My Mom passed in 2020 at 93. I was going through her things when I sold my house. I came across her wallet, her WWII ration book, a small notebook and other old documents. I even found a handwritten note to me telling me where her important papers were. Just seeing her face on them and just seeing her writing just turned the floodgates on like 3 years hadn't passed since she left us. I get how that lady's kids felt.

When I was 19 I worked in a XXX movie theater. Cleaning up one night I found a wallet. Next day I called the person (he was a lawyer in the next town over) to tell him I found his wallet, he asked me where and I told him. He said, that’s not mine… I said what should I do with it and he said , I don’t care it’s not mine!! So I took out the $80 and threw the wallet in the river… I still remember his name

What wondeful ppl, returning her wallet. Its too bad it was found after Roy passed away but it is a window for the rest of the family and sweet memories it seems for Floy.

This is one of the most amazing stories I ever read! Awesome! It's like a time machine.... seeing those photos...I bet a flood of wonderful memories came to her mind and heart!God bless her and the family!!

I live in the area of the Plaza Drugs Store and the movie theatre. This place is an Atlanta Landmark, and the Drug Store was known for being open for 24 hours a day. The old commercial just ran for years until the Drug Store was bought out. This was a great time capsule. Wish they gave a little more history of the building. It is really unique.

This is amazing! In 2018 at my high school there was this locker that had been locked shut for about 50 years and no one was able to figure out the combination to open it. One day, the school decided to finally open it by removing the locker door, and old text books, notes, papers, and even music records from the late 60s or early 70s were found. It was so cool and a true time capsule. After that, the locker got a new door and lock and some students put a few items in there for the people at school to open in another 50 years.

There’s a saying that if u lose something that belong to u it will go back to u . Im glad her daughter got it atleast and saw all the amazing memories of her mother . ❤

Absolutely incredible! Fantastic!

Glad they found it and got it to the family. 00:26 But a reminder of when a woman's name was "Mrs.", then her husband's name because she could not qualify for credit on her own. It wasn't until 1974 that the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) made it legal for women to get credit without a man's co-signature.

Such sweet people, it seems, how they speak, in regards to each other and their mom. A very endearing heartfelt story about keepsakes, memories, the love and loss of a loved one. Maybe a comforting sign at random that they found the items after all so long, as perhaps God intended them to. Glad they found each other for the reunion.
