A local homeless man turned a piece of art he found in a dumpster into thousands of dollars. A man identified by others on the street as Adam found what turned out to be an authenticated animation frame of Cel from the Disney classic, “Bambi.” Adam took the frame to Curiosity Inc. and received $20. The store’s owner, Alex Archbold, then sold the piece on eBay for $3,700. "I decided the right thing to do was to find him, and whatever it sold for on eBay, I was going to give him half,” Archbold said. “Here’s a guy who needs it more than I do, so I just thought it was the right thing to do.” For weeks, Archbold drove around looking for Adam and documented the search on YouTube. edmonton.ctvnews.ca/homeless-man-gets-1-6k-for-art-piece-found-in-dumpster-1.4169556
