Autoblog has this cook Cheech-an'-Chong story about a guy who, whilst restoring his VW bus, found fourteen pounds of ganja beneath the floor panels. Who forgets about thousands and thousands of dollars' worth of illegal drugs hidden in their vehicle? A very stoned person, one may safely presume.

Back in the 60s and 70s, the VW Micro-bus had quite the hippie reputation, with flower power and home-grown pharmaceuticals being part of the mystique that helped make the real original minivan a 1960s icon. For the owner of a 1958 double panel restoration project, the drug connection hit a little close to home. When checking out the undercarriage of his new purchase, TheSamba forum member Joshua B. found 14 LBS of marijuana stashed away. While we can't provide an exact street value of such a find (if you can, let us know in the comments) we can assume that it's a hell of a lot more than the value of this rusted out old groove-mobile. If you plan on trying to contact Joshua about his find, don't bother, he already disposed of it.
