No names or places will be identified as this is just fictional and I am just proposing a hypothetical question.
Sometime in the last century my family lived near a couple who were retired at very early age, less then 40 I believe. They lived a modest life in a normal suburb of a larger city. In the time span of nearly 10 years they never worked that I know of. Well one day we were out in the yard having a beer and I recall 3 stacks of bills wrapped in clear plastic that were to be buried. I think the stacks were about the size that would fit into a 30cal ammo can but don't recall seeing any cans. And I left before the burial took place. Years passed and eventually we moved away and they did also. From recollection's of my folks they said that the man had owned a store or a mall, maybe both. Well whatever the circumstance there appeared to be a steady cash flow from what I heard. I don't know if the money was from legal sources and I do not care. At one point there was a mention of over $200,000, and this was along time ago. What I do know is that the man did not trust banks with the money that was buried, that much is sure. So 40 something years go by and I recently come across a notification of the mans passing. Well it didn't take me more then about 3 minutes until I started thinking what if, what if there was still cash buried? Granted they had moved over 1000 miles away from the residence where I was familiar with them. Did he miss any when he retrieved his stash? Also did he continue the cache mentality after they had moved? I think it is entirely possible. Well to my knowledge they had no kids so there were no heirs other then the man's widow who is still alive as far as I know. What I am wondering is if she knew of where the money was buried if there was any and she may not have even known about any or all of it. I cannot imagine an eighty plus year old woman trying to recover a buried cache. What if she didn't know the cache's existence? She was not present the instance where I saw the wrapped bills. So would you contact someone you have not talked to in 40ish years? Anyway I have no interest other than the possibility of helping out someone. I certainly have no intentions of recovering anything for personal gain. I just wonder you know.
