June 15 (UPI) -- Authorities in Switzerland said they are trying to track down the owner of $190,000 worth of gold bars left behind on a train.
The local prosecutor's office in Lucerne said the approximately $190,000 worth of gold bars were found left behind after the passengers left a Swiss Federal Railways train that arrived in the city from St. Gallen.
Officials said the gold was found in October 2019, but they are now appealing to the public for information after months of investigating failed to determine the origins of the precious metal.
The prosecutor's office said the owner of the gold is being given five years to come forward.

Likely still in my fanny pack.
I would think the owner is long since dead do in part to their own criminality and others being aware of the gold.
Must have been pretty small bars. That’s only about 7 lbs of gold.
There’s probably some flunky for the train company who could tell them everything about it, but won’t ask because free gold.
It's mine. It was payment rendered for selling a stash of nuclear material. Where do I collect?
By any chance was Sandy Berger in the area at that time?
That’s only about 8.5 lbs. of gold.
Oh, that’s where they are!
You mean I’ve been had?
Is that where I left them. I have looking everywhere. I will be right over.
To return the gold, just send it all (via registered "Priority Mail") to this address:
