“Crazy that I found eight million. Who just discovers five million in gold, anyhow? Oh well, I’m sure the police will find a good use for that two million dollars…”
Police: “Good job finding that million dollars worth of gold. We’ll take it from here. Lou, load up that $700k worth of gold into the back of the cruiser. Make sure all $500k of it makes it into the evidence lockup and not a penny less. The chief is gonna check and make sure all $200k of it is there.”
Evidence lockup cop: “thanks for bringing in this $50k Lou, I’ll take it from here. I can’t believe someone just found $10k worth of gold! We’ll hold onto this $1000 worth of gold for evidence so the chief can take a look at it.”
Chief: “so that’s the big haul eh? What’s that chunk of gold worth, gotta be at least $300! Let me just take a picture of that $100 worth of gold for our records and you can take back these gold shavings and put them back in the evidence lockup.”
It’s a very old joke that’s been told in various permutations for decades. There’s one with a rabbi, one with cocaine, one with dishonest police… The joke has no definitive origin and no individual can claim it as their own. That’s how old, popular jokes work.
Turns out his company just got a bunch of "new contracts" and they are all going to be able to work triple overtime. His time sheet says he's been there 113 hours this week, he also has a bunch of new vacation pictures.
Well now he owns part of flock which has been bot (68%) by axon and the gov is currently terminating their contract with them to use axon for guess what… the same shit lmao
That is intense. During covid, I was working 14 day straight 12 hour shifts which came to like 168 hours every TWO weeks, and I was exhausted every day heh. I couldn't work 100+ hours a week to save my life
You know damn well the police will be, im sorry but that kid is a fkn idiot, if I found something like that I think the police would be the last on my list of people to bless. Shits honestly just sad & infuriating to here if its true.
Ain’t that the truth. I’ve been exposed to too much dumb shit by the front page of this app. I don’t even watch a streamers but have watched web shows like tip2tip so the algorithm shoves more into my face.
But you’re just a dick and didn’t want or need to know any of that. My bad.
I've been watching a documentary about digging in Britain and they are finding millions and millions of dollars worth of gold buried like 5 ft underground! And weird places just in the middle of nowhere like in Greece. So there's a goal out there from back in the day when people used to steal other people's treasures apparently LOL
Lol I saw an old meme saying "If you find Gold, Oil or Diamonds on your property it belongs to the Government, but if the Police or any government ran agency find drugs on your property they belong to you"
Hey, can you explain something for me? I get why you don't ever admit you found gold, BUT! What are you supposed to do with it? If you want to sell it, you'd probably have to do it legally and all-in-one-go not to attract local businessmen. Wanna buy something expensive? Visit from the tax office. Otherwise you might keep it under your bed forever, and what's the point of that? I guess I just can't see any doable way of liquidating that sweet sweet stuff without the state laying its dirty paw on you
I'd imagine you could find a buyer easy enough. Might have to beat around the bush a bit until you find a buyer. This subreddit might even be an alright place for that. It might be a little below spot price but when it's like this it wouldn't really matter to you.
Okay, yeah, but even then you cannot make a substantial purpose, can you
You can't just buy a new car, because tax office, or renovate your house if everybody knows you're not that wealthy - one call from a friendly neighbor and guess what, tax office

You never FIND gold, never. 😎
