So why weren't you out at grandmas farm fixing the pump up and restoring it for her? It is really easy to blame sombody for what happened but you have to ask yourself what does the money have to do with you? If grandma is not totally about her wits maybe sombody should be staying with her to keep an eye on the farm. Yes there are people out there trying to make a buck buying antiques and fixing them up, they are called ambitious! If grandma has any more items you are worried about maybe it is time to get out there and help her out some. I am sure if grandpa saw the pump all fixed up he would have been happy about it. He probably lost interest in it 20 years before he passed away. People get sentimentally attached to items so much they keep them and let them rot away and they can become useless. Dad holds on to all his old stuff too but some of it probably should go to collectors and be brought back to new. If I outlive him I will probably have the choice someday to keep or sell items that are of sentimental value. The pump is probably long gone. Just learn from that and keep an eye on the place a little closer.
