McGuffin/Red Herring Needed

The doomed suitcase

A suitcase with a "bric a brac" of much of the above suggestions (stollen by the crazy mistress and guarded by her zombies of course). Only one piece of the junk heap is really the prize and every thing else are rumors or items expensive enough to create the illusion of "priceless heirlooms".

Of course most rumors will have their pursuers and some of those pursuers are mythomaniac to the point that even if you give them the item they look for, they will not believe you gave them the real thing unless you give them something that does not exist (I want the real copy of the Warren Report, the one that proves that there was three shooters!).

Everyone that once upon a time touched that suitcase will be forever hunted...
(once upon a time there was a game called Paranoia....)

The Lassiter. The first working laser pistol. An antique. Priceless.

Last known owner reported it stolen from his floating gravity-propelled home above the oceans of Bellerophon, on his birthday. The main suspect is his wife, and some random dupes she'd roped into the heist.
