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.
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!"
