Whoever broke into the Bavarian barn was persistent, at least, even if they didn't know their history. The barn, in the village of Pfronten, Germany was broken into several times within a few weeks by people hunting for hidden Nazi gold.

"They moved all the stuff to the side, tore up the floor and started digging," says Hubert Haf. "They just found rocks though. The barn was only built in 1975."
