Hi, NullSmurf! Thank you very much for sharing this great story with us! Similar things like this actually happen fairly frequently. There are a lot of wealthy eccentric people out there. Many of them do not trust banks, so they hide their wealth in the walls of their home, bury it, etc. for "safekeeping". Years ago, an elderly lady known to the locals as "Ashcan Annie" passed away in Austin, Texas. An investigation of her modest home was done, and over one million dollars was found in cash, stocks, bonds, etc. within the walls of her humble abode. Yes, these people are rich, but they prefer to live like paupers. I suppose that they believe if they appear to be wealthy, someone might ask them for money! They may be right! Thanks again, NullSmurf. Regards, knightlaird
