pretty sure this story is from the UK

you don't want to be found with ANY guns in teh UK


Hunting shotguns and rifles are legal with proper permits. That's probably not what they would have found stashed in an Iraqi tank.

So, if no one can prove that the gold really belonged to them way back in 1991... does this dude get to keep it?

Even if you couldn't melt it (which you could with tools bought on the internet), you could chip it down and sell it.
This. I would have purchased the necessary equipment to melt it and turned the 5 bars into many small bars to sell.

Or just smelt it. For fricks sake, you can afford to buy the equipment if you have bars of gold


If I own a tank and I can smelt, I'm taking a totally different angle.

however, that would make one fricking hilarious story

pretty sure this will be handed to some international organization and end up in a museum (b/c it's basically blood money0

How do you sell gold for a loss when it was free? Yea maybe under market value but you aren't taking a loss by selling them.
Well I did say it really doesn't matter because he found them by pure luck didn't I?
