Decides to notify authorities. There is absolutely no way in Hell I wouldn't have stashed those bars. This guy's an idiot. Yeah, let's return it to the mega rich Kuwaiti royals. frick that.

It is hard to move gold bars, but I would have held on to them too. I would have put them in a safe box or something.

Hold them for 20 years until retirement and in those 20 years find someone you can trust to buy them or sell them for you.

The tank's owner Nick Mead and his mechanic Todd Chamberlain had wrenched open the fuel tank at their site in Northamptonshire fearing they might discover firearms. They even filmed the procedure in order to put themselves above suspicion should they find guns.




as opposed to, say, the frickING TANK they just bought!

I'm assuming if you are buying Iraqi tanks money might not be that much of an issue.

Especially not when someone may come looking for the gold in a decade.

Right.

Even if you couldn't melt it (which you could with tools bought on the internet), you could chip it down and sell it.

I'm sure the guy stashed plenty of them before reporting anything.

That is a good idea. I still think you will sell them for a small loss regardless. That really doesn't matter because finding them was complete luch
