In August 2011, Wayne Sabaj, an unemployed 51-year-old man from Illinois was picking broccoli in his backyard garden when he found $150,000 stashed in a nylon bag. He reported the discovery to the police with the understanding that if the money was not claimed by anyone else by the end of 2012, it would be his. Soon after, an 87-year-old Sabaj´s neighbor, Dolores Johnson claimed the money saying she had got rid of the money because it was “cursed“. The court gave a part of the money to Johnson´s daughter with a portion of it set to go to Sabaj as a reward. However, Sabaj died just 10 days before receiving the prize.

It looks like the man´s property, for some reason, attracts space rocks; the man even thinks that it might be aliens trying to bombard his house.
