Reincarnation

[DrPizza]

Okay... I've never completely ruled out anything as being impossible in the realm of religions... (while I'm mostly Christian in my beliefs, no particular Christian religion fits my actual beliefs perfectly)

Anyway, under the assumption that reincarnation happens, I would think that some aspects of a former self would be very similar to current aspects... Thus, I hope that a former self thought of this...
And, I should also do this for a future self... just in case:

Why not get a bunch of things that have minimal value now, but that I know will be really valuable collectors items 2 or 3 hundred years from now. Or, 2 or 3 hundred years ago, I hope a former self of myself would have been smart enough to think of this as well.

Now, where would/should I hide stuff such that it's my reincarnated or former self that would be the unique individual to find it?!

I just need to know where to look, and I'll be rich!
I mean... maybe a former self of myself hid 20 or 30 Honus Wagner baseball cards somewhere.


And... Now I need to figure out where other people's former selves hid stuff that their present selves are too stupid to find 😉 😛

The Highlander TV show did something similar one episode, showing how Duncan MacLeod would place deposits in banks and come back a hundred years later as a "descendant" to withdraw the much larger sum.

For reincarnation the best way might be to set up a trust of some kind with a British law firm that's been around for centuries, with instructions to turn over the box 'o stuff or bank account to someone who could answer a set of questions, decode an encrypted message, or provide some other proof.

Unfortunately, no one has been able to prove they have that kind of detailed recollection of a past life (or any credible evidence at all of past life memories) so you'll never get your loot.
