As a matter of fact, there is more luck in the sewers than we know of. In 2012, a drain technician by the name of Aaron Large found no less than four luxury watches in the drains in England. They weren’t just any watches. They were an 18-carat gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph worth £21,000, with another Rolex and two more luxurious pieces found by him a few days later. Eventually, the owner of one watch was found and the other three were unfortunately fake. Still, Aaron got a reward from his employer for his hard work.

When it comes to sewers and drains, it turns out that some blockages are bigger than others. For instance, one of the largest items ever found in London was in 2014 when a drain cleaning company came across half of a Mini car that was discarded. While an impressive feat, this particular issue turned out to cost a total of £70 million to unblock the capital’s sewers that year. We bet whoever put that car there regretted it.
