Um, this raises a few questions

So these folks find something washed up on a beach. They don't know what it is, but take it home anyway. Which turns out to have been a really smart move since it was a chunk of ambergris worth more than a quarter-million dollars.

But, one has to ask: WHY would you take an unidentified substance off a beach? Especially since it's actually whale vomit.

More importantly, Who the hell figured out that this stuff could be used in perfumes? The mind boggles......
