The only known cases of pirates burying treasure were when Sir Francis Drake had more than he could carry off and buried some in hopes of coming back (less than a mile off, so that didn't work) and Captain Kidd keeping it safe while he tried to negotiate with the authorities (that didn't work, either), but yet the tradition remains.
