If there's ever a plane crash I'm looking for cash and watches.

I couldn’t find the right combination of search terms to provide a citation, but I’ve heard stories of plane crashes where locals took the flight data recorder or other critical pieces of evidence from the scene before officials arrived. Rewards had to be announced and paid out to get people to bring back parts so that investigations could proceed.

I'm reminded of the scene in Lord of War when an arms shipment lands on a dirt road. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kipeOTbUqvk

Don't forget to grab a garbage bag full of weed on your way out.[0]

I don't have a link, but a similar story happened on top of a mesa near Moab, Utah, in the 1970s. Local climbers already knew routes to the top and hiked out with whatever they could carry before the feds could fully clear it.

Just hope the bears don’t get to the cocaine first.
