25 POUND GOLD BAR leads to deaths in Montana

tincup

During a renovation of a house in Montana, a 25 pound gold bar, worth nearly a half million dollars, was found. To their credit, the person who found it notified the aged woman who owned the house and was planning to move back into it. She retrieved it. But shortly after, she and her son were found murdered. And the gold bar is nowhere to be found.

Be very careful who knows about your hobbies and business....

Probably. Somebody divided 400 T.O. by the 16 ounces in an avoidupois pound and came up with "25 pounds."
