$10 Million Of Silver Bars Lying In The Street, Literally Littering The Road

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Posted by  on the Wealth Wire   

Once in a blue moon, you may find a random $20 bill lying around and feel lucky. Imagine how you’d feel if you came across $10 million in silver.

That is exactly what motorists in upstate New York encountered. An armored truck was heading from Rochester to Queens, New York, when it crashed on New Years Eve. The truck slid down an embankment, leaving the silver strewn across the interstate.

Three workers were in the truck at the time of the accident. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured, although one person was sent to the hospital with a broken leg.

There is no word yet if all of the silver has been recovered. Considering the bars appear to be 1,000 troy ounces each, or about 70 lbs., it would be pretty difficult to walk off with any of them without drawing the attention of the heavy police presence.

Perhaps some unscrupulous motorist grabbed a couple bars in the chaos right after the crash though. At roughly $30,000 per bar, it would be hard to fight the temptation.

Here are a handful of pictures from the scene:

      Maybe it was an inside job……..the crew of the armored truck make a pact; spill the silver in a contrived “accident” steal a few bars, say 3 each, pass them off to a plant that just “happens” to drive by, and nobody is any wiser.

        They can then collect Workmans comp/disability for injuries sustained in the accident. Then sue their employer for having an unsafe vehicle on the road.
