They found $5 million in gold, how weird.

I wonder if 2.5 million in gold with be enough for prosecution.

Gold? Looks like machine parts to me. If they're just laying around like that, they're obviously scrap and we all know recyclables go out on Wednesdays so let me just haul those out to the curb for you.

I mean it's $1 million in gold that's plenty illegal.

Exactly, 500k is a very serious crime!

And to think that the total of 250k weighs only just above 3kg. Hope that doesn’t dosappear is some pockets.

Yeah, I'm sure any judge would convict you for smuggling half a million in gold.
