If My Mom Owned a Farm

My mom is absolutely famous for buying Christmas presents months in advance, putting them "in a place I won't forget about", and not being able to find them in time for the holidays. It's not uncommon for presents to then trickle slowly in during March and April as spring cleaning reveals them.

However, even my mom can't top this one:

Dilubhai Rajput had stashed a bag of more than 1,700 small diamonds, worth almost $900, in a pile of hay at his home in Gujarat state [India], famous both for its dairy and diamond-cutting industries, but hadn't reckoned on the risk of a hungry cow

300 diamonds so far have been, er... "recovered".

Our dog ate $50 of mine once - I had to follow her around the backyard for three days before I got it all back.
