I love a good story - check this one out, from a Howard Hughes Biography:

Howard was told by his doctor to take some time off. It was 1945. He disappeared with an employee of Hughes Tool Co. and they just criss-crossed the country aimlessly for about a year. No one knew where they were. The employee was along with Hughes to handle travel and lodging details and also had a special task given to him by Howard himself. He was to carry a long wooden box, similar to a small child's coffin, with them at all times. It was tied up with rope and Hughes offered no explanation of what was in it or why they must have it with them at all times.
They went to a restaurant, he put it on a chair. They checked into a hotel, it was in the room. They boarded a train, it was in the berth. You get the idea.
After Hughes decided it was time to go back, the box was placed into storage at a Hughes Tool Co. facility and forgotten about.
Fast-forward to 1976. Hughes dies. Lots of fighting about the will(s), the fortune, the holdings, etc., it went on for years. The guy who had carried the box for Hughes was still alive and told the story. It got legs and they looked for the box. In 1980 they found it. It had never been opened and had sat in a storage locker for 35 years. They opened the box and examined its contents.
Inside, they found a stack of comics clipped from the Houston Chronicle, a small playground ballbat and (drum-roll, please):

Two douche-bags.
