A glorious but unfortunately, all too often, true story. However this situation could at least get a search warrant for the Lake's houses to see if all of their 'treasures' actually belonged to them. I suspect a number of the objects would end up having been stolen and probably from some people/institutions with deep pockets also which could make the ensuing court battles interesting for the Lakes.
And I loved the comment about toilet facilities as it does bring home continuity issues of many of the episodes.
