Jean Preston worked most of her life as a librarian. She rode the bus to work every day, ate almost all of her meals at home from frozen foods and never really went out on the town.
She lived a quiet life in her plain looking red-bricked home in Oxford, England. And when she died at age 77 in 2006, her final moments came much the way she lived - with few people really noticing her passing.
But that changed when stunned experts came to collect her belongings. They found one of the biggest art collections in recent memory inside that non-descript home, a stash of paintings and other valuables worth nearly $8 million.
