If You Owned A Dallas Gold Exchange Shop . . .


 . . . and someone walked in one day with buckets containing melted down gold weighing 99 pounds and then came in a few days later with more buckets (Home Depot kind, no less) with melted gold weighing 85 pounds, would you have let them walk out with $3 million in cash total? It's real gold, too. What could possibly go wrong?

Well, they (supposedly) tightened up all the rules on fencing copper at the scrap yard. How else is an enterprising young gang of metal thieves gonna get ahead in this tough economy?


"Say, where'd you get all that gold, cuz?"
"My buddy couldn't make it in the gangsta hip-hop music bidness, so he asked me to cash in all his teefers."
"Sounds like a reasonable explanation to me. Now, if it had been in Lowe's buckets...no questions asked! Just set it down on the scale there. Yo, Leo! What's the tare weight on a Home Depot five gallon bucket?"

This is similar to the oil purchaser in Bowie that was buying oil at half market price and then claimed he had no idea that it was stolen. Of course it is stolen. People use your head for something other than a hat rack. If you buy stolen goods, you are just as guilty as the thief in my book. And if it is a hot commodity at half of market price, then it is stolen.
