Well, this guy was a recluse, and his place was a 125+ year old folk
house, falling apart, and filled with junk, so the coffee cans would
have just blended right in. Plus there's always the chance that they
were never there in the first place. My Great Grandfather had a
similar reputation. He was known for not trusting banks. According to
my Grandma, people always said he was a miser and kept his money in his
basement, again, in "coffee cans." ...except that when he died there
were people waiting in line to search for the "coffee cans." And there
weren't any. Turns out that the reason he didn't have any money in the
bank wasn't because he didn't trust banks. He just didn't have any
money.
