Another example of how possible historic "treasures" to us are viewed by the world at large. It reminds me of the story of our 1008. When we learned of its existence, it was (supposedly) just days from being cut up with chainsaws by a new property owner, and removed to the landfill. After all, to the uniformed it was just a "caboose-shaped" crumbling shed. No surprise that a number of such pieces in private hands routinely just "disappear". Difference here - 0584 just happened to be on public display.
