A funny story, along the same lines. Apart from the sad bit.

Back in the early 80s a Phantom jet crashed very very near the village 
where my parents live in North Yorkshire. Sadly the two crew were killed. 
It's believed that they stayed in the aircraft to try and avoid the village.
Anyway the old farmer who lives next door to my folks was first on the 
scene with his tractor and trailer manhandled a large section of wing onto 
the trailer and took it home. "good bit of aluminium for patching stuff up" 
were his words.
Anyway the crash investigation team turn up to recover all the bits and 
spent a long time looking for this wing section, a part of which was later 
discovered covering a hole in his milking parlour roof. and the rest 
propped up in his work shop.
