Local post. Hauling stolen gold wrong. You can't make this stuff up.
Jefferson County Prosecutor James Kennedy told KONP it was still unclear whether all of the gold and jewelry reportedly stolen had been recovered, or even whether some it may be at the bottom of Port Gamble

I wonder how much of that $11,000 was from "post theft inflation". Not that I'd blame him. I probably would have done the same thing.

It does lead to a question though... Who stores that much gold in a storage container?

Scraping metal on asphalt is like fingernails on a chalkboard!
The sound of a hard car crash always gets to me. The dull THUNK! sound is nothing like you hear on TV... New veh's with lots of plastic now. I've only heard a few, in person, thankfully.

People along his route would wait at the end of their driveway for him to bust through the drifts & follow him.
Sounds like my dad. Had RWD Volvos since he bought a trailer to deliver the pedigree gelts he bred to their respective customers (he bought a 2.3 liter V6 Ford Taunus first, but it ran 80kmh in 3rd and then dropped to 60 in 4th) the local used car salesman told him: You need a Volvo, cylinders dont matter. Drop it to 50kmh in 5th, when you step on it, you should feel the power swell on when it picks up, if it jolts and stutters, its no good for a trailer.

Anyways, after 25 years and four Volvos he got a Camry, because my mother wanted low mileage and people just didnt sell their 850 in the early 2000s unless it had high mileage. (Really, there were no 850s with less than 350.000km or 220.000miles back then) Their last Volvo, a 740 diesel TIC, lost compression at 360.000km (i have never bought a Volvo 850/S70/V70 with less than that, and what i dont pay in writeoff i pay half in repair and maintenance) but hey, that 2.4 inline six was a dog... Volvos 2.3 gassers easily outlived it twice, just like the 2.5 TDI i had in my 850)

Driving sundays to church i remember him playing with the Camry and mumbling "why is this thing spinning up front ? Cant it just do its business in the back?" While my mother exclaimed "Gerrit stop it ! We just got it, i dont want to end up against a tree!" To which my father replied "when thàts at stake, i must know how it feels before i can trust it in an emergency" 😅😆🤣🤣🤣

Oh yes, when he brought the kids to school, the teacher missus yelled "make space, mr Zielman is coming" as most boys already knew he couldnt resist to make his autograph on the snowy parking lot 🤣🤣
The man is 82 in March... wouldnt we all want to be 20 years younger to enjoy who we once were ? 😃
