I had a couple of pristine 1907 UHR $20 Gold Eagles that I used to keep in my pocket so I could jimmy the lock on the back door. I'm not sure where I lost them but with gold at $800, I'd love to have them now.
2. Lost $1000 cash once. My wife liked to stash some cash around the house when we were a young married couple. She read somewhere that a great place to hide cash was in a disposable diaper. Put your cash in it, roll it up like a "used" diaper and toss it under the crib. Good plan, but our nanny/niece was not aware of said plan. My wife discovered said diaper missing and found out that our niece had just tossed it in the trash about 3 days earlier. I had the pleasant task of going out to the trash can in St George, UT where it was 110 degrees going through dozens and dozens of poopy diapers, that had been baking in the heat for several days, looking for cash. I found it....... Talk about dirty money..
I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector. Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.
Ah, but did your wife appreciate your successful effort?
Salute the automobile: The greatest anti-pollution device in human history! (Just think of city streets clogged with a hundred thousand horses each generating 15 lbs of manure every day...)

A few dollars of pocket change
And a twenty dollar bill
But in the meantime, I've picked up a couple hundred dollars throughout my life, so I'm ahead of the game.
