I thought the exact same thing, I bet that thief wants nothing more than to tell everyone the hilarious story of how he broke into a random house and found a pile of solid gold bars, but he can't because.....well...Catalyst6 said:

I can understand the desire to have bars of gold just lying around to look at and enjoy... but I CAN'T understand the brain that would think leaving $70+ K lying around the house is a good idea.
I wish there were more details on her insurance. Did she write '70K worth of gold bullion' on the form? There would have been a STEEP fee for such a thing, not to mention the insurance company would have demanded evidence that she was providing some hard core security for them...
If she just tried to claim it under general content, then I don't think she'll win.
And based on the little information, I would have to conclude that she is either a) a crook or b) a moron.

That's weird too. Did he steal anything else or just the bars? Because if he only stole the bars it implies he knew that she had them, which limits the suspects at least. Did she file a report with the police? Surely she must have done, in order to file a claim with the insurance company. More information please!danpascooch said:
Who keeps 75k in gold bars in their house that's not under lock and key in a safe? That's just irresponsible. I do find it hilarious that a gold farmer got hosed like this. Funny indeed...
Ehh...
While I agree that if her gold was genuinely stolen, then the insurance company should honour her claim...that's what they're going to court over, and hopefully justice will be done etc.
The real issue here is that some fool kept $75000 worth of gold bullion lying around their house. If I'm reading the facts right on goldprice.org, currently ~$75000 of gold bullion is about 1.6kg, which is hardly anything to carry. The stupidity here is that you have a portable item in your house, and that one single item alone is worth $75000.

YO DAWG. WE HEARD YOU LIKE GOLD SO WE BOUGHT SOME GOLD WITH YOUR GOLD SO YOU CAN LOOK AT YOUR GOLD WHILE YOU FARM GOLD.olfelix said:

Eh...that's always been the case (at least to an extent), even when it was backed by gold. Gold, in of itself, has very little intrinsic value, it's only the value that people have artificially placed upon it (ok, moreso and in a weirder way than most commodities) that makes it valuable, surely? When it comes down to it, it's just a softer yellow metal.Darkauthor81 said:
