I'm reading SI today about Dr. Z, a longtime NFL writer, and this tragic bit caught my eye.

"A police officer came. He summoned a detective. Within a week, they told Linda the news: The housekeeper found the money, and found the coins, and stole them. Stole it all. The value was $25,000 officially, but the real value was far more, because most of the coins hadn’t been assessed for value in recent decades—because Paul never intended to sell them."
Apparently, searching the news comes up with quite a few stories like this.
