Drug detection officers were surprised to discover a man carrying a stash of silver bullion instead of mind-altering substances when they stopped him on a NSW train line.
Police are seeking the owners of the silver bars and coins after investigations revealed the man couldn't prove he owned them.
Officers involved in a drug detection operation made the discovery after stopping the 34-year-old at Broadmeadow railway station in Newcastle in July.
He was found to be carrying five kilograms of silver bullion including three one kilogram silver bars, two one kilogram silver coins and 75 smaller silver coins worth of about $6000, police said. He has been issued with a court attendance notice for goods in custody and will appear in Newcastle Local Court on October 8.
Unless he can show that he bought it from some entity he stole it for sure. I hope they give him a hefty fine at least, little chance of discovering the true owner unless he confesses, a lot of dealers have been robbed in Australia over the past few years and it would be impossible to determine where it came from unless the owner had taken photos of the bars and coins.
Shadow was hopelessly wrong about the Gold Bull Market. What else is he wrong about?

Makes it quite a risky investment.
Somebody could steal all your gold and sliver, melt it down, and you have no way of ever proving it belonged to you.
Not much chance of anyone stealing your home and hiding the fact (though I acknowledge there have been a few very rare instances of fraudulent title transfer).

PS: Do agree with the sentiment that bullion bugs should pay tax on their profits - Plus claim deductions on their losses - As the case might be.

Yes there has been instances of fraudulent sales of property but despite the ownership of houses being so widespread these are much much rarer. p.s. It becomes that much harder to sell the house if there is a loan against it and bank is there registered mortgagee.
And its definitely a lot easier to prove to the police the house belongs to you.
I put trolls and time wasters on my ignore list so if I don't respond to you, you are probably on it ....

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
