The owner of an old house in Normandy, France, jokingly told renovation workers he brought in: 'If you find anything, tell me!'.
They did. And they didn't.
However, they foolishly forgot about the French tax authorities, who noticed one worker depositing very large, unaccounted for cash in his bank accounts. Questioned, the workers confessed they had found gold bullion and coins hidden in jars in 1924-27, estimated to be worth more than 900,000 ($1.2 million), inside the house.
I have a feeling a previous owner - or relatives - may suddenly materialize now. One thing's for certain though; the French taxman will make sure he gets his share!
