BERLIN -- German authorities say an 81-year-old man in Bavaria has recovered his fortune, which he'd hidden at home for safety only to have recent floods make the building uninhabitable. Police in the town of Simbach am Inn said Thursday the man told them he'd hidden the money in his house, which is in danger of collapse. When they didn't find it there, he told them he had buried it in the garden. They brought in heavy machinery to dig through the garden, eventually finding the treasure.
