Indiana
When it comes to treasure, Indiana has become synonymous with the mysterious case of Don Miller. A former US Army officer who spent much of his life travelling the world, illegally amassed a stash of 42,000 priceless artefacts in the process. In 2014, when Miller was 91, a SWAT team from the FBI Art Crime Department, including a helicopter, surrounded Miller's farm. The haul included 361 cultural artefacts and figurines from China (pictured) which all had to be returned. According to the FBI, this was the biggest return of items of this type from the USA to China ever. His collection also included giant snakeskins, Native American arrowheads and concrete from Hitler’s bunker. Miller’s case hit international news with questions raised regarding how he moved objects from one country to another, how he evaded suspicion for so long and how he got hold of so many unusual artefacts in the first place. Miller died nearly a year after the raid, and was never charged.

The sentence I find interesting is:

When Don was cracked, the FBI was astonished at the size of his collection. Yes its big but you can bet none of them every attended a large relic show like Collinsville.
I knew Don, he worked at Naval Avionics in Indianapolis, were my dad also worked for 36 years and retired from in 1987. My neighbor also worked and retired from Naval Avionics also. Two of my cousins worked and retired from Naval Avionics. My neighbor photographed Dons collection years ago, which he forward to me a few years back. I spoke to Don more than a few times in Shelbyville.
Don has been portrayed often in a less then positive light.
Most news columns don't indicate that it was Don who initially contacted authorities.
Most news columns don't state that when Don initially collected many of these items, it was legal to do so.
If you google the story about Don you can some interesting columns

The moral of the story is "Don't always believe all you read on the web, or in the news."
There is often more unsaid.
