First on our list comes from the air, literally. In 2019, Indian Customs officials searched a
Dubai-Pune SpiceJet flight when they discovered something in the plane bathroom. Underneath,
the washbin was opened and then covered during the flight to Pune. So what was inside? 4kg gold bars
worth over $171,000. The person who placed the gold bars under the washbin knew precisely what
they were doing too. During the flight from Dubai, the gold bars were covered in black adhesive tapes
for an associate to pick up during a flight to Bengaluru. This isn't the first time gold has been
hidden on an aircraft. Gold has been discovered in the armrests of seats or underneath life jackets.
Who knows, maybe the next time you're on a flight, you could be surrounded by gold.
#10 - Behind A Wall Bathroom Next on our list comes as a strange discovery when
a couple was tearing out the bathroom walls of an 83-year-old home near Lake Erie. A contractor
working on the home found a green lockbox suspended inside the wall below the medicine
chest hanging by just a wire. The contractor and the homeowners just found a box full of $182,000.
Wow, what a find. However, when the new homeowners photographed their unexpected treasure,
the property's original owners sued the couple for the money's rights.
#9 - Inside a Book Often or not, we've heard life coaches talk about
how reading books can earn you money. But what if one of the books you've opened has actual money
inside. I am sure you have heard that sometimes people find money inside the bible in hotel rooms,
but the amounts usually found don't come close to what this guy found.
In 2012, a man named Carlos went to a book exchange in Marlborough, Massachusetts,
and picked up a book. When Carlos got into his car, he skimmed the pages of one book only to
find it was hallowed out. Inside the hollowed-out book was $20,000 in cash with other valuables.
Rather than take it all for himself, Carlos tried to find out who the original owner was.
As there was no follow-up to this story, it is a mystery if the original owner had this
money returned to them. #8 - Inside Storage Unit
Anyone who has seen the famous American TV storage wars knows the art of auctioning on
abandoned storage units hoping that one or another would have something worth selling or keeping
inside. Storage units often go up for auction after renters fail to keep up with payments,
whether it's because of financial troubles, untimely death, or incarceration.
Some people even forget they are renting a storage unit with something stashed inside of them. One
day, a man in San Jose was bidding on an abandoned storage unit with no real idea what was inside.
Expecting nothing, he bid and won the storage unit for $1,100. While searching the new unit
to see what his money got him, he found a dusty blue plastic box. His eyes popped
when he saw that the box contained gold and silver coins and bars worth $500,000.
Talk about getting your money's worth! It can't get better than this, right? Well,
I wouldn't be so sure, keep watching! #7 - Buried in the Ground
Pablo Escobar is a name universally known as the infamous Colombian crime lord whose net worth was
estimated to be $40 billion by the time of his death. Pablo Escobar had so much money that he
couldn't launder it, and after not knowing what to do with the excess cash, he buried it. If you saw
Netflix's show Narcos, you'll be familiar with a scene where Pablo suggests burying the money
all over Colombia so the government couldn't seize it. Hiring a cartographer, they found spots
all over Colombia to bury the excess cash. A Colombian farmer named Jose Mariena Carlos
was given a grant of $3,000 to start a palm oil plantation on his family's land.
While digging a trench for irrigation, Carlos struck something hard and strange in the ground.
Carlos worked hard to dig around this object, only to find a peculiar blue barrel hidden in the soil.
Carlos worked off the lid and, to his astonishment, found it packed with wads
of cash. After notifying the authorities, Carlos had uncovered over $600 million in cash from the
Escobar-days. Unfortunately for this farmer, the Colombian police seized the money, and he
had to earn his money through the plantation. With the original locations of the buried money lost,
farmers and other people in Colombia keep finding Pablo Escobar's buried treasure.
Who's to know how much money is still out there buried underneath Colombian soil.
#6 - Inside High Heels
People always find new ways to smuggle items like snacks into a movie theater
or money across the border. Is it a fashion statement to pack cash in your clothing? This
next story comes from the shoes of a woman who was arrested in Colombia after acting suspiciously.
When searching her, authorities found wads of 500 euro notes thrust into the heels of her shoes.
The woman carried over 5000 euros in her bag while she had 150,000 euros stuffed into her heels.
Talk about expensive four-wedge shoes. That's a fashion statement.
Can it get any crazier? Maybe, keep watching! #5 - Inside a Duvet
"Tuck your money beneath the mattress" is a common phrase,
but what about stuffing it inside a duvet? Strange right? Well, this is a true story. A Chinese guy
hid thousands of yuan in his duvet from his wife in 2016, only for a dog to uncover it.
While the couple slept, the golden retriever that belonged to a friend was ripping up the duvet.
When the couple woke, they found the shredded duvet and all the money.
The man admitted he was hiding the money, but his wife thought it was hilarious. That's an exciting
turn of events that could have gone poorly. #4 - Inside a thrift store couch
In Berlin, a German student bought a pullout couch for $215 at a Berlin flea market.
After bringing the sofa back home, the student found something odd stuck inside the couch.
After freeing it, the student found a 10-by-15 inch oil painting called "Preparation to
Escape to Egypt." The painting is by an unknown artist close to Venetian painter Carlo Saraceni
between 1605 and 1620. The artwork was sold for $27,630 at a Hamburg art auction. The
question of why such a valuable painting was stuffed into a couch scratches everyone's head
and remains a mystery to this day. #3 - Inside a Painting
You might think of National Treasure and Nicholas Cage, but this is a true story of how a man bought
the original copy of the American Declaration of Independence for $4 in a flea market. A collector
purchased an average-looking painting for a low sum just for how he liked the frame. The frame
fell apart when the owner removed the painting. He discovered a folded document between the
canvas and the wood backing that appeared to be an antique copy of the Declaration of Independence.
When looking at the back of the frame, the collector found 500 copies of the American
Declaration of Independence. The documents were printed by John Dunlap on July 4,
1776, to carry news of America's independence to the citizens of the colonies.
The copy was worth $1 million at an auction that happened later that year.
#2 - Inside a Woman As we have seen, some people would go
to any length to hide their money, but this might just be the most bizarre yet. In 2017, a Colombian
woman found out that her husband cheated on her and swallowed their life savings equal to $7,000.
When her husband found out about the money, he insisted that half belonged to him.
The woman experienced intense abdominal pain and rushed to the doctors,
but she refused to tell them what was wrong. When performing X-Rays, the Doctors discovered
that wads of cash were causing a blockage in her stomach. Surgery was performed immediately,
and $7,000 was retrieved from her stomach. #1 - Inside a TV box
In the 1980s, a man from Ontario, Canada, stashed his $100,000 inheritance inside a television.
The man later gave the tv set to a friend and forgot all about the inheritance.
Eventually, the TV was sent to a recycling plant where a pair of employees opened the
TV and were shocked to find all that money still inside. Rather than taking it all for themselves,
they tracked down the Ontario man and returned the total amount. What a noble act!
