    Those "Global Future City" one ounce rounds should certainly stand out.

    That should be a fairly routine trace... I would expect an arrest soon.... Cheers, RickO

    Not good. Would registered mail not be the better option for that type of shipment?

    With enough pressure the perp should cave easily.

    We had a package arrive empty to another dealer. 100 oz gold bars just dont open boxes by themselves. Bar turned up later that day. They claimed "fell out of box". Sure double boxed security taped....
