I’m sick and tired of Chinese nationals stealing things from me. I just looked in my basement. I’m missing nearly $10,000 U.S. Dollars and 14.25 ounces of gold bars.

If the Border Patrol would return the above items to me I’d really appreciate it.

There are so many dirt roads that cross into Canada, from Maine, that it’s almost impossible to patrol all areas. This network of roads, were built for logging, and criss cross throughout the northern part of the state.

Today, gold is close to or just over $2k/ounce. That’s 14 Krugerrands. BFD. I wear one on a 1 ounce gold chain.

It’s funny when I cross the border, because many agents are surprised at how small $4K is in the real world.

Don’t forget: crossing the border with over 10K will get your money confiscated if you don’t declare it. See the 1971 law...

I often carry about $30,000 in gold bars.

You know, in case Taco Bell is open. Those $5 meals add up...
