No good deed goes unpunished.

It just ended up in someone else’s pockets.

“Mead told the Daily Mail he isn’t sure what has happened to the gold and believed the authorities were still trying to track down the bullion’s owners.”

Sure they are.

“The 62-year-old, who runs Tanks-a-Lot on his farm in England, told the Daily Mail: “I regret handing it in. I should have at least got a finders’ fee for it but I got absolutely nothing.”

Dingbat - I could have told him that would happen. Best option is to melt it and then just trickle it in to gold dealers.

The government: “I see that you have some gold there. Give it to me.”

Whata chump... hire someone to sail you to a free country.
Go down to the local Chinese or Indian restaurant...hell, I would throw them into the sea from a ferry before I gave them to the police.

If I had 2.5 million in gold bars, the fact that I can’t go to the bank with them is the least problem imaginable.

“Gold has a fingerprint. They know where it’s been mined. It was definitely stolen from Kuwait”

Baloney... I got a bridge to sell you.

I find it hard to believe people are gullible enough to brag about finding money/gold/whatever. But they walk among us. If I won the lottery, the last thing I would do is tell anybody about it. Finding gold in a tank? fuggeghettboutit.

Oh well, every time he looks in the mirror he’d be reminded of what a dumbass looks like.

What gold bars?
Oh, these gold bars?
They are heirlooms and we’ve had them in the family for thousands of years.
