"My grandmother Stajkovitsa used to say that when they robbed the treasury (in 1872 they robbed the Arabakonak pass, led by Dimitar Obshti - b.a.) she entered the small house - the "painter's house". Grandpa Stajko and his brother Vatso were there There were cauldrons of money. Grandfather Vatso (Crazy Vace) slapped her twice and pushed her outside... When they robbed the treasury and imprisoned her sons, grandmother Tsolovitsa cried and ordered around the yard "...Mother's sons, mother's sons...", but there is no confirmation, Grandfather Staiko to be imprisoned...His brother Nesho was taken to Sofia in connection with the robbery of the treasury, and his other brother "Vaceto" was a cashier. Dimitar Obshti exchanged the money in Osikovitsa with grandfather Tsviatkovi, which means that the legend about the cauldrons of money is true. They were taken by grandfather Tsvyatkovi, they were silently carried through the village to the cottage, where grandmother Stajkovitsa found them."
