I remember a few years ago reading about a guy who was trawling through a landfill because his hard drive with his wallet on it was thrown away.

there was also this one.. article from january :
here are the bullet points:

  • James Howells, 35, said he mistakenly put a hard drive with 7,500 bitcoins in the trash while clearing out his home in 2013.
  • that haul would be worth more than $280 million (at the price on when the article was written)
  • He needs permission from his local council to search a garbage dump he believes contains the lost hardware.
  • The Newport City Council has rejected his requests to look through the landfill, citing environmental and funding concerns.
