THE LOST TREASURE OF TAPIA
Where is the lost treasure of Don TiburcioTapia?
There are numerous tales of lost treasures throughout California; however, none is as strange as the lost treasure of Don Tiburcio Tapia. He lived just east of what is known today as Los Angeles at Cucamonga during the time that Spain ruled the area. Today, where his mansion once stood is nothing but ruins.
In the 1840?s many residents of the area heard rumors that America was going to invade and take over their land. This led to them hiding their valuables; Tapia began to make plans to hide all of his valuables. He found the perfect hiding spot for not only his wealth, but also the wealth of his friends and the money that had been collected to build a chapel.
With all his treasure hidden away, he was no longer afraid that anyone would ever find his wealth and it would be safe. The only bad part is that he passed away in 1845 and never revealed to a soul where he had hidden his valuables and the valuables of his friends. . . . . . . .
