Incredible is really the perfect word to describe this: Both the "extraordinary" definition and the "impossible to believe" definition.
It's too bad the two top-level comments doubting this story have been downvoted into oblivion and dunked on for being cynical. We might not like that line of conversation, but I think it's a legitimate POV that adds to the discussion. This find just seems so...incredible. In what actual universe do you see these kinds of things just left out on the curb?? The only things I see on the curbs in my neighborhood are old junky furniture and kids' toys.
I subscribe to estate sale newsletters to find treasures like this, and have never seen something like this even for sale, let alone free by the side of the road. What an amazing read!

It may be an intentional misdirection...The guy may have had a contact that was easy to deduce, and neither of them wanted the attention it would bring...so it 'fell off the back of a truck.'
