Further, there is
no indication they were "stolen"; in fact, it would appear they were
intentionally hidden, so your analogy is not too accurate IMO.

I don't know the details of the exact find, but I've seen "buried". In my
experience, Sgt Rock and Pvt Snuffy may well interpret their orders to
destroy or get rid of something by burying it.
