A similar thing happened to my uncle Paul (Terrell)... after he moved to Portland, he had an Apple I (part of the original run of 50 he famously bought) and many other ancient 8-bit computers, like Exidy Sorcerers, in a garage my cousin was using. One day my cousin got frustrated by the "junk" and hauled a bunch of it away to the dump.
I believe my uncle still has one more bare motherboard squirreled away somewhere -- it used to hang on his wall in a plexiglass case as art.
