Don't let this happen to you

We all have stashes but don't let this happen to you.

Interesting story.. the man bought $415 K in silver.. and it's worth $750 K in a year's worth of time. wow.. hell of a gamble that paid off.

With that said.. everyone here post their stashes. Just kidding.. but it would be cool to see everyone's stashes. But I wouldn't want to do it for this reason.

Re: Don't let this happen to you

I have said this before on here, but a home safe that is not hidden is just a glorified fire safe box in my opinion.

Even if you have a professional, 30 to 60 minute rated safe (rated for break in time), when someone puts a gun to your head for the combo it might as well be a shoebox.

If a person refuses to keep their PMs in a safe deposit box (I know the arguments against this choice of storage), the only "safe" thing is to have a hidden safe and and a non hidden safe. If they come in like in the story above, open the one and keep some PMs in there so they think they got what you have. Keep the really good stuff in the hidden safe.

Of course my theory will not work against a spouse who decides to leave you and knows where the hidden stash is located. I have seen where one spouse decides to leave when the other is out of town, and actually has a professional locksmith come in to open the safe and then leaves with the goodies.

With the economy going down and PMs going up, I expect we will see many more stories about home invasions and such on PM holders. And I am not talking about crack head burglars, but professionals. When the possible take is $50K or more, it would be an easy pay day for them.

Anyone have an idea of the size and scope of the amount of silver $750 k worth would be?

If calculated at 30 bucks per ounce, comes to 25,000 ounces. The guy probably had it in 100 ounce bars or larger.

So he had like 250 bars of silver? Man that'd take up a walk-in closet.

The 100 ounce bars don't take up as much space as you might think. Even a large gun safe can probably hold that much if properly stacked. The 100 oz bars are not really that big (about 1.5 X 4 X 7 inches or so). Now the 1000 ounce bars are pretty hefty, but even those just a bit bigger than a big loaf of bread. But if that guy spend nearly 1/2 million on his stash, he probably bought at least a professional-type safe.

They can have all my silver



It would probably take a medical professional to remove it from them though before they can spend it

Re: Don't let this happen to you

Happy hunting

Re: Don't let this happen to you

I saw that, that would have taken 2 guys like 15-20 min to haul that all off. That's like 25K oz. Anybody that has over 500 oz knows what I'm talking about.

And to think he would have made an additional 75K in the last 2 weeks with the $3 jump in silver. Man to have that much silver working for you...ahhh to dream.

I hope they figure out the family member responsible and hang them from their #$&@!
