… Joe Dante … told Heritage auctions how he was making the film Explorers in 1984 on the same studio that was formerly owned by RKO Radio Pictures, which produced Citizen Kane.
Dante said crews were on site clearing out storage areas when one worker, who knew he liked vintage films, asked if he wanted it.
"I was astonished…Since I am a huge fan of the movie, I said, 'Yeah, I'll be glad to take it."

I wonder if that worker regrets giving Dante the sleigh?
I wonder if they got any of the money?
I think I'd like to get a job clearing old studio warehouses.
I have always depended on the kindness of Strangers - and the bastards let me down!
