Some of our Latin citizens have been known to store rolls of cash in paint tins, bury jars in concrete laundry tubs turned into planters, etc etc.
Once I found an abandoned house on a cane farm just off the Bruce Highway.
The family were religious nuts who went nuttier and were hauled off to the loonybin / treatment facility (pick one) one by one and never returned, so the house was slowly picked over as years went past.
Inside was every newspaper they'd ever bought.
