Unlike them I'd be happy to leave the bars lying around my office.

Hand over to the police. I'll have to think about that.

Surely if they have paid good money for the tank and it was 'bought as seen' then the gold is theirs as are the tracks and turret.

It's not like they dug the gold up in someone's field.

[#4]

it is probably defined as stolen (aka looted) goods and as such needs to be returned to the rightful owner

[#5]

think it may prove hard to find the rightful owner , most probably classed as treasure trove  and he would get paid out

[#6]

I bet the next tank on ebay goes for a few bob more and  apparently 'it's better than having puppies!'

Gordon Brown has already put in a claim.

Finders keepers methinks, otherwise the British Museum are going to be handing a lot of stuff back. Lets hope the guys get a fair share although who else can lay claim to it is hard to imagine unless they are marked in some way.

TBH i must of had another senior moment and i forgot i stamped my initials on one of them

The moral of this story is "always check your tank before you sell it."
