Missing Gold Coins Thrown in Trash

3/18/2009

A Bismarck man`s pot of gold is missing.

The man, who owns Modern Machine Works, said he
put a bag with 13 one-ounce gold coins on a shelf
in the storage room.

He noticed that it was missing, and reported
it to police.

They learned that the man`s brother remembers
throwing a bag away last month when he was
cleaning up.

That means the bag is probably in the city
landfill.

But don`t think about going to try to
find it.

The public works director says scavenging at
the landfill is against the law.

The gold is worth about $12,000.

"Well, yeah, bro, it was just some old bag sitting there. Sure, I
distinctly remember doing that even though it was a month ago. I
definitely remember tossing it without looking to see what was in it.
I do that all the time, don't you?"

As if.

Idiot brother... and idiot owner for that matter.

If it had been his mother throwing it out, I could believe it.
"Yes, I cleaned up the back room. You had all sorts of useless
junk back there taking up space. What kind of grown man holds on
to a seventy year old 'Superman' comic? Honestly!"
