    Saw this on MSN this morning about William A. Clark and his now 103yr old daughter Huguette and all the properties owned, yet vacant.

    It notes in one of the pictures towards the end regarding Bellosguardo in Santa Barbara, CA that there is a stash of vintage cars. I wonder if they are still there and if anyone knows anything of what could be in there.

    I was thinking the same thing when I heard about the cars. Sounds like we need someone to get a job assisting the caretaker of the place and check it out.

    Fascinating. It sounds as though the old man was a real SOB.

    One year later now, Huguette Clark diedin New York, aged 104.

    Her life is still some kind of big mystery...

    How many lives like this one are still out there?

    I believe that there may not be many left, if any, time is running.
    These people would have had so many things to tell.

    Fascinating, but also sad. Life is to be shared ...

    And yes those cars would be exactly as they were, but I assume unmaintained.
