    Were they serialized bars?
    If so did the owners keep a record of theses serial numbers?

    I don't know. I just reposted an email I got from a dealer friend of mine. It's his client.

    Not enough information to allow us to be any help. Unless someone shows up selling 90 bars.
    Must be generic.

    sad,

    Wow.... what a haul...They were obviously targeted....I hope the bars were serialized and we can get the numbers. Not that I think any will end up out here in the East, but the internet provides many outlets...Cheers, RickO

    It will unfortunately be untraceable if the bars are remelted

    @Kliao ....True, if melted....However, that will also reduce the value - of course, since it is stolen property, all value is profit. Cheers, RickO

    Well, that wealth wasn't preserved,
    those dollars were not rescued

    Must have been an inside job unless the TV was stolen too!

    I live near the Santa Cruz area, and trust me there are no criminal masterminds around here. It’s some low level street scum that will try to dump them for us cheaply and as quickly as they can. The odds of it as being recovered is actually pretty good.
