A story in the UK (attributed to any number of well known bank robbers) was after they were caught and doing a long stretch, their wife arrives and says the allotment is over-grown and needs digging up. So they ask to see the arresting detective, say "if I tell you were I hit the loot, can I get a reduced sentence", and then announce its buried under the allotment.
Twenty police dig up and de-weed the allotment the next day, and everyone laughs.
There are things people are personally responsible for.
