19 Strange Things People Found Hiding In Their Homes

Don’t get any crazy ideas. You might, and that’s understandable because some of these people had literal treasures hiding behind the walls of their homes. It’s at least fun to daydream for a while if you’re caught up in a particularly tough rut, about what kinds of riches could be hanging out behind your wall. Maybe some gold coins. Maybe a prized throwback jersey or baseball bat or mitt that has massively climbed the ranks in selling value. You never know.
