Swiss police are looking for a forgetful individual who left something rather important on a train -- a package full of gold bars, worth more than $190,000. The parcel containing the gold bars was found in the carriage of a Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) train traveling from the northeastern Swiss town of St Gallen to Lucerne, a city in the center of the country, in October last year, authorities said. Despite "extensive investigations," the owner of the high-value package had not been tracked down, officials said in a statement published in the local government Lucerne Canton gazette.

Dangit, I knew I forgot something.

Sounds like a dead drop that didn’t work properly. Wonder who the intended recipient was.

[Ronin]

It was me! Seriously! I was playing around with the inter-dimensional time-space portal in my den and they slipped out of my pocket and dropped through the wormhole before I could catch them.

Thanks for finding them! You can send them to my address in Tokyo.

[Songcraft]

I have to confess, it was me.

“Wonder who the intended recipient was.”

Someone that is very angry right now.

It was me. I thought my wife was right behind me and was going to get it. How do I go about getting it back?

A dead drop gone wrong - unhhh boss, about that 1000 oz of gold....

[Pearls Before Swine]

Closer to 100 ounces, according to my calculations. An easy lift.

[GnuThere]

Wow, I knew Switzerland was rich, but they carry around gold bars for the train fare?

[yarddog]

In “Goldfinger” they showed gold bars as having stamps showing where they were cast.

One of my favorite all time scenes:

I know what Gold does to a man's soul... When the piles of Gold starts to grow, that's when the trouble starts"

[mylife]

Sounds like criminal activity.

[dynachrome]

” The Treasure of Sierra Madre” is agreat movie. Wonder if they will censor it for ray-ciss scenes about Mexicans.

"I have had it with these mother-f#(|<-ing gold
bars on this mother-f#(|<-ing train!"

[DUMBGRUNT]

Oddjob has become a bit forgetful in his advanced age?

[Big Red Badger]

Of course
Who ever found it

If i left 10,000.00 cash on a Amtrak train they would be looking for me as well...to ARREST me.
Then i would probably have to spend the same fighting the feds for 3 years to get it back...
