Story in my own family: we had some relatives who lived in a village near Ypres. In their living room they had this giant iron stove. When the Germans invaded they buried some cash and jewels under a tile under that stove, and fled to France. After the war they returned to the village, in the hope of retrieving the jewels. However, they were unable to find back the stove, due to the fact that they could no longer locate the house... due to the fact that they could not find back the street. The whole village was literally dust.

At the back, behind a fake wall, he found old bottles with a small fortune in DMarks. Unfortunately, the german mark was replaced with a new version after the hyperinflation between the 2 world wars, so it wasnt worth anything anymore. We assume they were left behind by german soldiers in WW1. No idea what he did with them.
