I wonder why when they close a building, they don't take all this stuff out of it, at least to sell at an auction or something, rather then let it rot in the building for years...

How do papers get scattered around like this? Do vandals come in and do this, or is this something that somehow happens over time do to other factors in the building? It just seems that boxes of papers should stay in their boxes.

It seems this is a common occurance in most of these buildings
