Gold bars worth $1.1m found in plane toilet in India

[jeff of pa]

The plane on which the 1kg (2.2lb) gold bars were found on Tuesday had reportedly come from Bangkok, local media reported, before making stops in India.
"The cleaning staff of the airport were going though their routine duties and found two bags in the toilets of the plane," airport director BP Mishra told AFP news agency.
He was quoted as saying that no arrest had been made in connection with the find, though OneIndia News said a suspect was being questioned.

The gold has been valued at between 70m and 90m rupees (up to $1.4m or £890,000).

no arrests made? is it illegal to leave gold ?

 

[pippinwhitepaws]

smuggling gold appear to be illegal...

 

[Peyton Manning]

"The cleaning staff of the airport were going though their routine duties and found two bags in the toilets of the plane,"

............and now they're kicking themselves in the a$$ for turning it in.

I've heard of crappin' bricks, but I never thought they would be gold.

 

[stefen]

Some jobs are in the crapper....

Gold is where you find it, so they say.

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

I'm still wondering why anyone besides the person who hid it and the one who found it heard anything about it.

We will NOT go quitely into the night!

how many planes have you flew on as of late... no meals, all too often not on shcedule

Two trains of thought...
1. this was to have been a exchange point for someone on the next flight.... and they chickened out (or missed the flight)...
2. they are fake, gold plated base metal and only worth a few hundred bucks...

 

[maipenrai]

I think I will be checking the toilets more often!

Probably a flight attendant and forgot to make the pick-up....I know I would have come out with more bulges in my pants than what looks normal. Would be cursing myself for not wearing my boots that day,lol.

I would have taken them one by one, maybe a couple at a Time,
& left the airport & come back as many times as Necessary.

Spent an Extra month or 2 There while Fed-Xing myself Gifts back home here

I don't fly anymore as a matter of fact.

I know the one time trying to Fedex in the Philippines they wanted to see in the box and had me open it and I wasn't allowed to send a CD., I guess from all the pirating. And you get one chance to get the bars on a deal like that flight. Gotta think fast. Once you are off you cant get back on. I would be in a motel with a hammer smashing them and going to local jewelers to have them make me chains and pendants to wear home and make many trips.
