I was reading FHB and it listed in the Forum a few incidents of people
finding interesting things while demolishing and renovating properties
they had moved into.
It reminded me of a time when I was removing a few kitchen base cabinets
and found an old wallet left behind in the kick. It had just a small
corner of a familiar colour brown 100 dollar (Canadian) bill poking out
from between the folds.
That's all there was... a small piece torn off a bill, taped to the
wallet. The rest was empty...but for just a fraction of a second, I felt
lucky... and somewhere, maybe no longer on this earth, is/was some
schmuck laughing his ass off.

A prank with a time-delay fuse....

Heheee, that's a good one! By the way, did anyone lose a big wad of
money with a rubber band around it? I've found the rubber band! Tom

Sounds like the story of the Cadillac owner plagued by a thumping somewhere
left and below the driver's seat. After removing all the panels, a Coke
bottle - soda type - with a note was found.

The note read : "have fun finding this, you rich *******."

I'm more inclined to believe yours, though.
