Stolen Gold Bar That I Have Held

Sad to say but I would bet it was melted within hours of being stolen.

I hate the thought of anyone that steals like that ..

And then I am thinking ..

Sounds like a few of the members here .. have their finger prints all over that bar ... interesting thought ..

such a sad story.....hope they catch these guys

With somthing that valuable you would think Mel Fisher would have thought of planting a gps unit too it !

Man....I'm quite sure a lot of people took a lot of risk, expense and effort to make a genuine piece of history available to the public....and look what happens.

Look at that kid's face, he'll remember that moment for the rest of his life- not many people have or will ever get to hold a cool half a mill in their hand and now it's most likely gone forever.

This is a sad statement of human affairs.

Any update? That's not much gold (less than one contract) and wouldn't take much to melt, losing 80% of its insured value.

If Fisher's people were smart, they'd have made a heavily gold plated tungsten copy, and let people lift it all they wanted. Maybe they did, and this was a charade to catch the crooks.

Thieves did some major time for stealing some very expensive comics from a store, even tho what they got were display dummies of originals locked in the vault. That would be enuf to anger the Vatican's head spaghetti-bender.

I recall someplace in Yurrup had a 400 oz au bar on display, if you could lift it with one hand, you could have it.

Lots of muscle-building practice paid off handsomely for one guy. They figured between the density of it and the tapered sides, it couldn't be done. A few hundred thousand dollar error on their part.

That would be the red flag if I was investigating. There's a six-figure, easily converted to cash chunk of metal that weighs less than a gallon of milk, and it's too much trouble to lock up at night?
