It's not a matter of ownership. The guy doesn't need to prove it is his. His gold is being confiscated not because he can't prove it's his, but because there are silly rules about taking it across borders.

yup, it's all about tarriffs and customs tax.

Food for thought;
Fill the roll bars in a Jeep Wrangler with coins, weld back in place, powder coat finish
Fill a pipe with coins, weld into place on the car's undercarriage - have professionally undercoated

What's good about a Wrangler is that so many of those get customized so there's really not a lot that are left standard. An occassional extra rod or support wouldn't be noticed as much as it would on a Chevy Cavalier or Toyota Camry

...my 2 cents

I was thinking you could bury the coins in the upholstery of the seats. Cut out a chunk of the foam, put the coins in, cap it with the foam, re-upholster, there ya go.

I like that one !! It could also help with the lower lumbar support :^)

I tend to think that what they typically look for is drugs, cash or any contraband so metal won't alert dogs and metal in a place where one would expect to find metal wouldn't alert any suspicion, even with an x-ray or density scan. I'm not too sure about available space but I would also think that some could be kept in the bottom of an automatic transmission pan, radiator, or oil sump pan might also be a decent place to store some coins for a weekend trip across the border.
Just think about how many gold maples could be stored in a hollowed out, in-dash car radio - while the radio might not work those golden oldies would be worth the silence or road noise :^)

Here's another one - empty the plates out of the battery, fill with appropriate metal. Keep in the trunk - an extra battery, booster cables(to actually start your car), gas can, quarts of oil, trans and radiator fluid and some spark plugs and cables. It'll look like you're just prepared for a break-down and since your car can run even without a battery once it's been started, no one would know the actual battery under the hood is just a shell

He should have done multiple trips with smaller amounts of PMs.

Maybe he is and this is his smaller trips..........

Ha ha ha. Exactly. He is sitting on tons of the barbaric relic. Heck, maybe this was just a diversion and the big batch got through.
