This little piggy played the market.
All that trouble and you could have used explosives. Under certain circumstances pigs can fly ya know.

It seems that the two mummified mice, which Cicero so cavalierly discarded, did a poor job of guarding the riches of the tomb. And even if Cicero didn’t rob the grave he is associated with the desecration. I imagine he will now be haunted by two ghostly mice.
Don’t dig, just get some of that ground penetrating radar, such as they use to discover dead bodies buried in the gardens of serial killers.
Not that blindboyard is any way attempting to make anything that at all resembles an insinuation. Cicero.
Say, by any chance is your pig named… looks to the left looks to the right … Jodie?
You know, if you don’t put the pig back, rat guy is going to know that he got you. I feel certain he’s going to remember and check for it next time he comes.
Heck, I wonder if he keeps a supply of these things and leaves them at the homes of poor tippers?
While you’re putting it back, check the direction in which the pig’s nose was pointing - just in case there’s an “X” of some sort on the wall. . .
*ETA and could somebody please explain the Jodie reference?
Jodie was the pig-like entity from the Amityville Horror.
Excellent!
Very entertaining thread for the most part, if only it had a catchy title, it could become a classic.
We all knew it was empty from the get go though, right? Does anyone really think that guy didn’t shake it up first, shine a light through the slot and check first? Natural instincts for all of us…
It was the 8th horcrux.

Catchy title? sniff
(Actually, I never expected there would be this much interest in a stupid plastic pig. Guess we’re all romantics hoping for a windfall.)
Either that or we’re gleefully howling at our ability to talk some random bloke on the other side of the world into crawling into a dark dirty dangerous dugite-infested hole to retrieve a plastic pig. 
Actually, it was the spirit of adventure that moved me. All kidding aside, you’re a good sport for playing along and humoring us. Many thanks, and I tip my hat to you, sir.
14 k of g in a f p d.
14 kinds of grossness in a fake pig dungeon.
That said dear! I saw it.
And Tru Celt, I just saw your post. I heard the rat guy retired to the Bahamas.
Your pig had amused me greatly. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks folks. Now I have a really chintzy, cruddy pink pig for the next white elephant exchange.
Except it is now a cultural icon.
Who wouldn’t want The Pink Pig come their way in the white elephant?
It’s going to be in the Smithsonian one day!
You know, I never thought of that. Of course he did! He brought it up specifically to test whether the OP knew what was in there and would report it stolen.
:smack:
Of course! Now it’s all so clear! Y’know what I’d do, Cicero, if I were there and not many thousands of miles away? I’d go back into the crawlspace and check the ground all over very, very carefully, just in case some of the treasure fell to the side when the rat guy was shaking it out of the pig. You should totally do that right now, there’s a good lad.
We’ll wait here.
