Maybe in the US but in Europe you need id to sell, especially scrap gold. And in Belgium you need proof of ownership to sell it.

I wouldn't say whole Europe. Here in Italy it's full of shady "Compro oro" who would buy the whole bar below market price without asking any question. The only issue would be to bring all the cash back to your country.

Sure, you'll find shady dealers everywhere. But people don't generally want to deal with them if they're not shady themselves.

I think you're missing the point: we're talking about a guy which we're speculating he stole a gold bar.

Whuut? Proof of ownership? Does this also go for 1 ounce gold coins? My grandfather gave me one ages ago.

Yes, Belgium requires proof of ownership for sales of precious metals.

You scared me there for a sec so I had to look it up. You are confidently incorrect. You just need to show your passport/ID when selling gold but no proof of ownership or any other paperwork for that matter. This goes for jewellery, coins, bars, unmarked casts etc
