Oct 5th, 2019: Gold Reward

Depends on how well you've vetted Security. This has the makings of an easy inside job:

it's the lure of easy money
it's gotta very strong appeal

The floor of your bank's safety deposit vault could be less risky.

I'd see if I could get one of the major auction houses to auction it off above bullion value, with a buyer's premium, as a novelty/collectable. DanaC could insure it.

I think I could put it on a portable forklift in a box truck in a garage and protect it myself until the bidding was over. Security can be hired.

How'd I do

I don't know, just getting it from Japan home is as challenging as snakes on a plane.
My point was some gift horses need a dental exam.

Yes, big temptation to try.
