- Grandpa finds weird string in attic wall, then pulls it to reveal family secret. This man returns to his old home to reveal a family secret.
One man has returned “home” to search for family possessions that his father once hid away right before they were forced to evacuate the country. His father had taught him a special way of finding the hidden objects, but it wasn’t easy to retrieve them. Seven decades after he last saw them, it was hard to tell whether the items had survived through years of wear and tear.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you to CO.AG for the background music!

His mans family built the house and was ran out due to war. Not only is that HIS home but those are HIS possessions.
Intriguing story but also sad.
Wow so the greedy ass government couldn’t even let this poor old man who lost everything in the war have his stuff back!? Greed at its finest right there.
Yeah really
Sad......SMH!
Nona Yabizness well that case he should have took the government to court Germany have a legal system similar to ours and what you can sue I know because I've been to Germany
Angela Merkel makes that impossible though...
We have no idea about the details. It's possible he was allowed to take something meaningful out of those items. Having been allowed to go and see if they were still there undiscovered was probably quite rewarding. I'm glad ge got to see them. Of course I think he should have been allowed to keep it all or donate it to a museum 😍
Interesting story but it's also very sad that he can't keep any of his and his family's belongings. Poor guy. Smh
Makes me sad to think after all those years, and the man was not allowed to keep one thing from his family.
I'm so glad that the man's son went back to find his father belonging even though he cannot keep them. They will now be treasured forever
Your videos are so fantastic and have only gotten better over time. Please keep it up, this stuff is fascinating. I love you cover so many different things!!
What?? He can't keep his own property?? That stinks and is so wrong on so many levels!! 😠
Marla Mitchell in Slovakia and Czech Republic is law for it. If you find something very valuable you have to or pay tax or let it for museum and you can not keep it even if it was on your own backyard and you digged it out. Weird but true.
Edit: maybe some survivor from socialistic regime.
Peter Vlčko that's so sad. Since it is on their property they should be able to keep it or sell it to help their families. So evil!
The problem I have with that is this, he didn't FIND something valuable, they were his own possessions. It's not like he just stumbled onto anything he didn't know was there, or that it was some lost treasure. They were in the house his father built and he was trying to RETRIEVE his belongings from the precise location of the property his family was forced to leave behind decades ago. That's almost like saying that anything a family finds after the death of a relative, that has been packed away in the attic as to preserve it for their future generations, should be taxed or handed over to the government/museum just because it hadn't been seen or touched for decades.
EQKaiena exactly!!!! Thank you! You are so right!
He gave it to an museum
That man should have been able to keep his things... That is so unfair... Those things are part of his roots, his connection to his family and past. That is heartbreaking.
Melissa Lyn Lee so should the Jewish race but the Germans took all from them granted he was just a boy at the time but his father could of been in army hating the Jews at that time sorry but I have no sympathy
He donated it 🤦♂️
Awesome story. Old houses are the best!!! Thanks
To You Young People Out There, NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN !
Why he donated it
that’s despicable that he can’t keep his family’s possessions
I realize the historical value, but these items were his family's. He should have been allowed to keep some in remembrance of his father. Interesting story though!
They should at least let him keep something personal and meaningful from his family's possessions.
He donated it
This is his family belongings and there personal treasures. Not any one elses. No one has the right to take that from him or any one in that position. If he would like to donate some of it that's his choice. Not yours. And you wonder why the world is so f×#$ up. And everyone knows this is wrong .it's called a crime,so sorry for the man and anyone else out there who has to go through this. When is it enough?
He fucking donated it inform yourself before writing hate
That's terrible these were his fathers things and the state says he can't keep any of it?
Considering his age, too bad they didn't let him keep some of the things to later be returned to the museum after his death. Maybe he's ok with them in museum though.
Goverments rights to seize personal property is pretty messed up. I
They should at least let his children and grandchildren each take one thing.
They could have limited him to choose just a few items. Greedy governments are in every country!
ethnic germans who had to flee what was THEIR HOMELAND another crime of the legacy of versaillr
Really goes to show how times have changed. What they considered valuable, and worth secreting away, I believe most people today would have secreted that stuff right out into the dumpster.
very intresting..too bad he couldnt keep his possessions though..ive had alot of things left in a self storage place when i was a kid,we were evicted and had to live with relatives untill we got back on our feet,they were there untouched and unseen for 3 yrs,then when we finally opened it it was like all the memories came flooding in and the nostalgia of every item and i felt like a kid that got brand new toys even though they were old...i can only imagine how he felt after holding and seeing the objects they he hasnt seen for decades...
slum chemist I feel the same way... Glad you got your treasures back!!!
slum chemist
I AM SO HAPPY THAT YOU GOT YOUR TREASURES BACK AGAIN, IT IS REAL HARD ON CHILDREN TO GO THREW A FAMILY CRISIS LIKE THAT...IT HAPPENED TO ME ALSO AS A CHILD AND AS A PARENT OF TWO CHILDREN...
Joan Doe yea it is but going through situations like that made me a stronger person..it is tough but u live and u learn..thanks also..im happy u got through yours also...it might be hard on children now but itbwill make them a more humble,and strong person..
slum chemist so sad to lose things.
I'm happy for you that you got your possessions back!
My parents, and family, all French but born in Tunisia, were thrown out of their homes in Tunisia in the late 1950s when Arabs were given their independence from France, at gun point, put on a boat and expropriated to France...
Everything was taken from them. They left with very few possessions...
At least they were alive though, unlike others, including my parents' neighbours who were shot.
Still, it is very difficult to lose everything.
I too found items more than 100 years old in an attic, books, maps and such. Told people about the items, and nobody was interested in them.
Disgusting...give the man his family property!!!!
I dont like that they didnt let him keep them :(
Charlotte Murrey Especially since they never would have known about it if he hadn't have come back to look. 😡
Mr. Underdog exactly it's stpuid
Taking other people's stuff is what governments do.
Ray Giordano Lmao! I know that's right! Fuckers..
Yep, legalized theft. Of course, when you make the laws, you can make anything you do legal.
That is great that things were still in there places from many years. Great video.
Edward Kellogg u
I Love these findings. I do the same thing. At Work and at Home. I will put things for people to find Years down the road. Thanks
Love these sort of videos guys 👍🏻
I hope that his government or the museum reward him.
colin Paterson he didn't get any money, are you for real, the government seizes anything from that time period if you don't have it on your property!!!!!
Yes I am for real our government has an obligation to pay a reward for things of historical interest and value so why are you being so aggressive in your comments?
If i was them, i dont mind if they take all the stuff to the museum, because i know they will keep it safe since it become very "fragile" to keep it myself. But as long as it still under my name or atleast my family's and i got a discount or foc to enter the museum
My good friends father passed away, so they needed to sell the house he lived in for 50 years, it needed to have the electric brought up to code, I'm an electrician so I did the work, I was in a crawlspace in the attic inspecting the electric, I lifted up some insulation, and found a wooden box with a padlock, so I kept looking and found WWI military guns, a WWII Japanese rifle, a couple of 150 year old pistols,and various other guns, the box was full of ammunition.
Even though I couldn't keep it, it was pretty exciting finding it, I called my friend to tell her what I found, she already knew, they were there, her brother hid them there, as it turned out none of the family wanted the guns, so they let me have them, they are worth thousands of dollars, so I tried to take money off the bill, but she wouldn't have it, I'm going to leave the guns to my friends kids, the great-grandchildren of the original owner.
You should donate some of it to a musuem.
They aren't that special, guns need to be hundreds of years old, or super rare, they are very special to me, but nothing a museum would want.
No they don't. I volunteer at a children's museum that has many different items in it's collection. Some as plain as a japanese WW2 gas mask. Museums generally will take donations from people if the item they wish to donate falls into their mission statement or if it suits their needs for an upcoming exhibit.
I'll think about it.
Wait a minute, these are HIS possessions, but the state puts a claim on them. Talk about getting screwed over by the government, this takes the cake. They wouldn’t even be there had he not thought about hiding them away.
How cool is that I bet there's tons of houses in those certain countries with hidden gems
Jayson Sneaux there are some still remaining here... Yes... But most od the war tresures has already been stolen
And the greedy government takes them all.
1. Try your best to get "Legal ownership of your land/home."
2. Open your treasure chest in "Private."
3. Don't tell anyone.
My Grandparents were Czech..that's how they came to America. They lost everything they had ever worked for. When my Grandmother passed away, She owned 3 items of significant value and that is all she had. There was a huge family war over who would get these items despite them having been left to me, I was only 13 at the time. To end the fight my aunt suggested that they bury the items with my Grandmother. Eventually, everyone agreed. When I became an adult, I left home and travelled 1400 miles to see my aunt that I hadn't seen since my Grandmothers passing. We were having so much fun getting caught up and then she told me she had something very special she had been saving for me for a long time. She then gave me the items that everyone thought were buried with my Grandmother. After the funeral, my Aunt had made arrangements with the funeral director to remove the items from the casket and give them to her. I've never taken the items off and never will.
that’s outrageous that he cannot have his own things to keep in his family
Omg he donated it🤦♂️
Wow ,that is so awesome.
it's sad because these are his family's valuables when he was a child he should be able to keep these or something close to his heart the reminds him of his family this should be offered to him for finding them
He donated it idiot 🤦♂️
It was an embarrassing snapshot of Spongebob at the Christmas party
This sort of thing about the government taking his items makes me glad that in the United States we have an amendment that states we are secure in our possessions. Also, we have the right to own a gun which insures that the government will not over step these rights.
YEAH!!
Wtf he donated it idiot🤦♂️
they need to give the man his stuff back. they where never lost, the man knew where they where at.
He donated it 🤦♂️
This is so cool!!
My grandmother's father hid a bunch of money, (over $10,000 back then, about $188,186 now) in weird places and only told my grandmother, not any of her siblings or his wife. He always told his wife to not throw away certain objects, such as an egg carton that was plastered to the ceiling , as there was over $1,000 in it. But when he died, his wife threw away all of his stuff while my grandmother was at school one day, and when she got back home all the money was gone.
So, because he decides to be kind & publicly share in the rediscovery of his family heirlooms, the bureaucrats get to take them...
He donated it 🤦♂️
That's really fucked that they wouldn't let him keep his stuff. I'm truly sorry that this happened to this man and his family.
Stfu he donated it 🤦♂️
Greedy government wins again. They'll do anything to keep your property and so that they could make a profit. My heart goes out to grandpa for his lost.
He donated it idiot🤦♂️
That is not right. He should be able to have his belonging. Who the hell are they to say he cannot have his father's things. It's wrong.
Your comment is wrong because he donated it
Love the vids
They don't have any right to keep his belongings!
He donated it 🤦♂️
This is sooooo, wrong!!!!! Shame on that country. These people fled with their lives! It should be illegal for a country to keep this family, from hard earned items, they worked and paid for. Could this happen in the USA?
He donated it idiot 🤦♂️
"were moved"....We should continue to apply this terminology on all ethnic cleansings nowadays.
Poor old guy, having his family relics appropriated by the state...
So sad.
That’s messed up!! It’s his property no one else’s! I hate the government!
I hate because he donated it idiot 🤦♂️
His ancestors were squirrels
No yours dickhead
He should have been allowed to keep some for his kids and been compensated for the rest
He donated it 🤦♂️
At first I thought that he was going to find a yo-yo.
I hope they at least give the family pictures if they had any.
His father was a pretty smart guy, he stashed socks, they probably would have been in short supply.
It's pretty cool they were still there but he hid some strange items.
It’s so unfair that the man can’t have his belongings.
He donated it 🤦♂️
@wathobgoblin_7779
No. The story said he accepted the fact that the government would take the belongings since they could not take their belongings with them. He was given no choice though he agreed to assist the museum curators.
It’s such a great story, but confusing on why he could not keep his little gifts as a reminder, I find that really rude of the home owners.
It infuriates me to no end that he cannot keep his own belongings and pass them down to his own family! Absolutely nothing more than stealing what rightfully belongs to him! 😢😢
He donated it inform yourself before writing
Wouldn't have found them without his help. Looks like he should have been able to keep a few as a finder's fee or a reward. Stingy government.
He donated it inform yourself
Criminals to steal his things. They should have let him have them.
He donated it idiot 🤦♂️
my great grandparents came over from Chechaslovakia in early 40s
I would've let him keep whatever he wanted first then give rest to the museum...not he actually needs any of this stuff but it was all sentimental value in his heart all this was his life and home before being forced to evacuate!!! Well that's opinion but it is awesome that he was able return and find it still there anyway pretty amazing!!!
He donated it 🤦♂️
A bottle of Vodka was tied to the string.
When i was a kid their was a little house across the street that was way over 100 years old and the 2 previous owners were old men and they hid things in the walls. They found jars of silver quarters and dimes and jars full of money.
I think the old guy should get to pick what happens with his stuff! That’s messed up taking his memory’s like that.
He donated it
Total 🐂💩 that he can't keep his own property.
Total bullshit he fucking donated it idiot
How sad that he couldn't keep his family's heirlooms!
He donated it
Very interesting bro
They should have no right to this man's possessions. A fight in court would not be worth it. Under the circumstances his grandfather fled, everything should go straight to the family. Shameful.
He donated it idiot
Wow thats crazy he cant keep his family heirlooms and has to b put n a museum instead😳😳😳💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
interesting video as always :)
Man give him his memories back
He donated it🤦♂️🤦♂️
I love ❤ your videos
They should have let him keep simple things like old photographs and things that would only be important to his family the fact that They seized all of his property is absolutely barbaric
He donated it 🤦♂️
its a shame he cant keep them, but what a lovely end to this mans life .. thanks for sharing :)
What a bunch of pricks!!! He should have been able to take his things home with him. This just pissed me off!
You piss me off
He donated it 🤦♂️
if he hadn't of shown them where they were they would have discovered them later in worse condition and possibly destroyed. So well hidden could only assume that they would have been untouched until the home would have been demolished or rotted away
They should’ve let him have his stuff back!
He donated it 🤦♂️
The freakin' State took all of his things? That was So GD greedy of them. Oh !! That pisses me off. Those were personal Items of the family.
He donated it 🤦♂️
They should have given him his possesions back, greedy a&&holes.
F u he donated it
Those items don’t appear to have aged much.
Typical to get screwed over by some bureaucratic bullshit! It's his shit let him have it! Sorry there old chap at least you got to see that they lasted all these years. Your dad was good at hiding stuff.🙂👍
If I watch the ads all the way through do you get more revenue?! Please let me know if you can, thank you ❤️I love your work ☺️👍❤️
3:00 why is that female sitting like that? That can't be comfortable. Great video. I find it unfair the man can't have his family heirlooms.
Was expecting treasure.........Never know what hidden in old houses but that was not what I expected.
He was a child. He was not a Nazi. He had no input in the choices the adults made. He should have been allowed to keep something. Why punish an elder man who had nothing to do with what happened in World War 2.
So much unkindness. Not every German was Nazi.
He donated it 🤦♂️
really crappy that they wouldnt let him have his own stuff
Really crappy that you didnt look it up so you would know that he fucking donated it idiot
Moral of the story? If you find anything,Keep your mouth shut !!
He donated it idiot 🤦♂️
The Gov't was hoping to find "Money! " They are going to go through and recheck for "Money!" "What are they going to do with "70 year old Used Socks??"
Wtf is your problem
They could have allowed him to keep a few of the items; I’d imagine that the memories must have come flooding back when he found them, probably some that he’d forgotten about & it seems somewhat unfair that its all going to be taken away from him. Another Great story albeit a bit sad in ways. 🤗
It's not sad he just wanted to let the past behind and he donated everything
They should've let him keep his stuff.people are evil
Need to hide the government in the attic maybe they might be worth something one day
He donated it idiot 🤦♂️
They could have at least let him keep one item to pass on to his family.
He donated it🤦♂️
Looks like a bunch of junk. Maybe a book might have some value. Dad was like "All I need is this ashtray, hula hoop and book of matches". LOL
It is amazing he was able to find these things. Seems most of the comments section disagrees with him not keeping anything, goes to show how out of touch the politics are with what the people actually want.
He donated it idiot 🤦♂️
i think its wrong that he can't keep any of it. it all really belongs to him. that's very petty! shame on the government for their purposes.
That's fucked up. He was a German, not a Nazi. These items should belong to him and his children. Like if you agree.
They should have at least paid him for the items.
Why he donated it 🤦♂️
They belonged to him how sad .
he an(83)yr old man took the long journey back to his child home and asked local government for permission/and assistance , and finaly gets the chance he been imaging for years. acually finds everything is as they left it and in the end government takes it n gives it to a few muesums to split...wtf!!!!!!!! kind of bullshit is that????
Wtf kind of bullshit is your comment he donated it
It's nice that museums want the collection but why.? It seems the man should be able to keep his mementos and choose which ones to give up.. Don't display personal items of living people.. I think the government is over-reaching..
He donated it
They are wrong for that
He donated it 🤦♂️
