All the gold in California

Is in the bank tank in the middle of Beverly Hills

In somebody else's name.

Mead told the Daily Mail he isn’t sure what has happened to the gold and believed the authorities were still trying to track down the bullion’s owners.

Sure they are.

[lowbridge]

Oh, good. He found my gold. I was looking for it. Obviously I forgot I put it in that tank.

You people can return my gold to me any day now, thanks in advance.

[Steely Tom]

It’s believed the bullion was looted by plundering Iraqi soldiers during the 1990 invasion of Kuwait but forgotten about inside the 36.7-ton tank.

Maybe they forgot because they are no longer alive.

[ryderann]

Great movie. Forgot the name though.

Bob Menendez’s old tank?

[nickcarraway]

Kelly's Heroes?

“I regret handing it in. I should have at least got a finders’ fee for it but I got absolutely nothing.”

“When we found the gold bars we didn’t know what to do with them. It’s not like you can take five gold bars down to the pawn shop. So we called the police."

Sucker. I'm quite sure I'd have found a work-around.

[SaveFerris]

I was waiting

Gold has a fingerprint

Not if you melt it. Handing it over to the authorities means you trust the goobers in government. Lately that trust has eroded greatly. It's no longer the most honest entity around.

[lgjhn23]

Stupid to turn it in.
Melt it down to small quantities and trade it off over a period of time.
NEVER tell a soul.
It’s kinda like the “shoot, shovel and shut up” thingy.

[nickcarraway]

For someone to mention that movie?

[SaveFerris]

yes - it was the most logical choice

[nickcarraway]

I was thinking of that one, but I didn’t know if anyone would agree with me.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

[SaveFerris]

I can still see Marlon Brando

[MIA_eccl1212]

they followed our negative waves... I know it.

[xp38]

Always with the negative waves eh Dinwiddie?

[DesertRhino]

“Stunned by the discovery, Mead handed in the gold to the authorities. Now, seven years later, he has admitted he wishes he had kept the hidden booty.”

Stupid...

[ProtectOurFreedom]

LOL...now that is the absolutely PERFECT photo of Oddball. Eyeroll toward heaven. “Freaking idiot...what were you thinking?”
