Jury decides U.S. rightly took gold coins, judge to decide owner

[Gargamel]

If you ever find anything worth value turning it over to the federal government or Dallas PD will result in you getting firmly, swiftly, and coldly fucked in the asshole.

moral of the story is safe deposit boxes are great to hide stuff

So you can legally steal a house just by squatting in it for a few years...but you can't keep coins that have been owned by a family member for 80 years on the fact that it MAY have been acquired illegally? Screw that...

What about the 1913 V nickles and the 1964 Peace Dollars?

If all of the coins were to be legally destroyed in 1937, it doesn't matter how you got them. It's illegal to possess them and should be returned to be destroyed as the law dictates.

Seriously? That sounds pretty obtuse. Nobody knows how the dude got them, and stranger things have happened than the government fucking up. This guy's family shouldn't be fucked because of unknown circumstances.
