[Spridgets] Fwd: Fw: Some Kids Were Digging In Their Backyard When

[bmwwxman .]

We all grow up digging around in sand boxes hoping to strike it rich and
find some hidden ancient treasures
<http://sliptalknews.wpengine.com/ancient-whale-graveyard/>. What we
typically find is an old Matchbox car or a present left behind by a cat.
Either way it’s very rare to find something desirable. Well, that’s not
quite the case with a young group of boys in California. They were digging
in their yard <http://sliptalknews.wpengine.com/diy-deck/> when they found
something that would make anyone’s jaw drop and their mouth start drooling.
In 1978, these kids were digging in their yard when they came across
something big, something metal, and something very very valuable. A buried
Ferrari!

*The boys actually discovered a 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS buried just a few
feet under the dirt in their yard. The family had just moved into the house
and immediately called authorities who came and roped off the area. A team
of investigators arrived and unearthed the rare car. *

*After exhuming the Italian sports car, it was obvious that someone had
planned on returning to retrieve the vehicle. It was very crudely mummified
with towels in the vents and tape on many of the seams however the windows
weren’t fully closed causing a lot of interior damage.*

*Farmers Insurance was contacted and because of the VIN number they traced
the last owner. After the investigation, it turns out that the owner of the
car had actually hired thieves to steal the car and dump it in the ocean so
he could claim insurance on it. The thieves buried the car with the
intention of returning to pick it up. *

*The buried Ferrari was then auctioned off after being on display with the
incredible story being reported across the nation. It was purchased by a
young mechanic who owned his own shop in California. The going price was
estimated to be between $5,000 and $9,000.*
