My father has been a lifelong collector of many cool things - not including cars. He has a 300 year old barn stuffed to the gills with things. Growing up with him and joining him on his hunts for cool things, I've seen many abandoned (or nearly so) barns, houses, warehouses, etc. filled with treasure around the world. As other commenters here have pointed out, these things do exist and most such incredible things do eventually emerge to see the light of day.
It's neat that this story has come to life again. It is indeed a year or so old and made the rounds once before. I have seen it posted as new again no less than a dozen times in the past 24 hours. This is proof that it is an excellent story.
Ton ami,

"The Black Hand," Cumbiero? Nice.
Gaillard is on French TV sometimes. If this video was done in conjunction with television then I'm certain the store would have had to be compensated.
Including a scene wherein Gaillard's accountant hands the store a check for damages would have made the video far less funny.
