I know someone who had a laptop stolen 10 years ago that had a wallet with substantial amount of (apparently still unspent) bitcoin on it. He is convinced the paper backup with the private key still exists, but hasn’t been able to find it yet.

Yep it be like that.
My father called me hysterical once because he found a QR code in their safe & didn't recognize it, they thought they'd found the elusive stash! I knew better, but it still made my heart skip a beat!😅
