This is where I would put my diecast cars collection... IF I STILL HAD THEM.
I used to have a lot of them, enough to fill two of those roller luggage style storage cases. Many years ago my family had a garage sale before we moved and some woman that pretended to not speak English took my entire collection of diecast cars for $0.25. Handed me, a child at the time, a quarter in exchange for the entire bin of cars I had out. What I was doing was selling individual for $0.25 each, not for the whole bin. Some of them used to be my dad's, but many of them were recently made and in almost new condition. Later on, my family told me that they didn't know until after she left because another person was asking them questions about some furniture when it happened, which they did not purchase. Apparently, that person got into the same car and they left very quickly, quick enough that by the time I had put the money in the jar my family had in the garage and come back to where I was before on the driveway, I was greeted with a missing car bin.
Only one car remained, and I still have it to this day. A Stutz Blackhawk. The Woman had dropped it during her escape and had damaged it, chipping the paint. And so it has stayed like that with me all this time.
People, am I right?
I intend to leave a complex and detailed inheritance plan for my Hot wheels.
