A mystery!
Where would you look now?
All drawers have been turned over, cleaned out.
The known hiding spot opened and cleaned out.
Every jar looked in. The house has been thoroughly ransacked. But the garage hasn’t really been torn apart.
All the hidden money was found
Still 2 women are digging and searching. One is desperate to get in the house back into the locked house .
So what do you think they are looking for and how do you think it was hid?

Neighbours of my parents sold their sofa and to avoid spending the cash before they bought a new one, the wife put the money in a can and buried the can in the back garden.
We knew they had decided on a new sofa when the husband was spotted digging multiple holes in the garden in an attempt to find the buried treasure.

More money could be it.
I am thinking he hid jewel /gem stones. Gold for jewelry making since he wanted to try that.
I have not taken down the large heavy glass mirror. Or the bathroom mirror.
If it got moved to the garages, it is lost. And will be a treasure that somebody will get in the auction.

My grandmother died around Thanksgiving when I was in college. My grandfather died 3 weeks later. I went down to Arkansas with my dad to begin making my grandfather’s funeral arrangements. It was a very long drive.
Arrived in the morning, went to the house. Started to find paperwork.....my dad was working on stuff while he had me scour the house. We found everything but house information. He said that the paperwork was close to the kitchen because my grandfather would pull it out quickly.
So.....after checking everything and sitting in the living room. I thought ok, so close, hence living room some place. I turned the place upside down again. Found nothing.....then......decided ok, so let’s play James Bond! I took my hand and ran it underneath each coffee table and end table in the room. Guess what! A secret drawer.....in the coffee table. The table had 2 levels. The secret drawer was in the top level.
That held the rest of the paper work that my dad needed!

He wanted to know his treasure was near him.

There could be boxes taped inside themed tables!

I’m confused - are you watching 2 women tear a house apart but you don’t know what they are looking for?

When my great uncle Ralph passed we found money everywhere when we were cleaning out the house! I found $30,000 in an old coffee can’t under the kitchen sink. There was money under mattresses, money tucked in tool boxes. I mean it was just everywhere. It took them five years to finish the probate in his estate, because they kept finding bank accounts, security boxes and property that no one even knew he owned. The man wore the same pair of overalls for 50 years and his truck was just as old. He never spent a dime!!! He lived in the same house for 70 years that he literally built himself. No kids, his wife was killed in a car wreck two years after they were married in the late 1940s. He estate came to over $2 million dollars!!
Maybe those ladies are hoping for more hidden money. Or they know something you don’t?

Intriguing! I'm sure the other peas have better suggestions, but I'll play.
How about in the freezer, especially a bigger one in the garage or basement?
Did you look for any of those containers with hidden compartments, but they look like chips, household cleaners, etc?
Under all the hanging file folders in a file cabinet? I've lost important papers there when I missed the actual folder I meant to put something in or I've misfiled it in the one behind the one it was supposed to go in too.
In an envelope taped somewhere? Back of a drawer, behind an appliance, back of a large piece of furniture, etc.?
In with the Christmas or other holiday decorations?
In an old film or prescription bottle?
Can't wait to see what the mystery is!

Check the toilet water tank. Use a metal detector to find things in the walls. look in the flour and sugar canisters, cereal boxes, cornmeal storage, etc. Pull up the matresses to be sure there is nothing between them or under them, check to make sure they have not been cut open and treasure stuffed inside the mattress. Look in luggage, in vcr and dvd cases, up inside the chimney, behinnd clocks, bottom of potted plants,

If it's a mystery, and you said one woman is desperate to get back into a locked house, I'm thinking they're looking for a key?

I’m confused. Who is “they” and what are “they” looking for? Did I miss something?

My grandma kept money hidden under the toilet seat cover.
How in the world does anyone know all the hidden money has been found? If so, I can’t imagine what they would be looking for.

when clearing our dad and stepmom's house we had to go through everything because they had a terrible habit of putting things of value in something that didn't appear valuable and forgetting about it. one afternoon my brother and I took each book off a wall of bookshelves and opened each up and flipped through looking for anything that might be important. Nothing found but we would have wondered if we hadn't done that.
the biggest surprise was when movers turned over a table/desk and there were 2 drawers we didn't know existed with more jewelry!

And if those money grubbing people removed anything from your BIL's house before probate--they are thieves Money was found, kept safe and then put in the bank when the estate account was opened. Yes it is believed that the money grubbers did find some stashed money. No , it can not be proven since there was no record of that money.

If it's a mystery, and you said one woman is desperate to get back into a locked house, I'm thinking they're looking for a key? That would be nearly impossible to find a treasure key. There were bags upon bags of keys. I think he had a key from an old trailer that he rented a couch in nearly 40 years ago.
