The gold was dug up with great effort, processed, stored in jars, reburied, dug up again several decades later, transferred to a dealer, retailed and is now presumably back in police custody ready to be buried again somewhere, or was not recovered and has been reburied in another back yard, ready for the process to start again in a few decades.
I'm with Warren Buffett. The process is MAD as in mutual assured destruction.
Leave gold buried where it is and save all the oil for doing something useful. Digging gold up and burying it again is like digging holes and filling them up again and calling it economic activity. Maybe it's more fun than swimming and enjoying wave functions at a beach, and contemplating the smouldering embers of a beach fire and making love on the beach during warm summer nights, but it's an odd happiness, akin to that of King Midas.
<According to the report, police confiscated a Land Rover, a Citroen DS3, a Peugeot 3008 and a Suzuki GSR motorbike, along with hundreds of thousands of euros.
The three builders admitted that they had stolen the gold and are due to be tried for theft at a court in Evreux, to the northwest of Paris. The coin collector, who has also been charged, denies he knew about the theft.>
