I was there in 1982, but I did not pirouette and have not returned, at least not to the city proper. What is wrong with these people? Soon all sites like the Spanish steps and Trevi fountain will have to be cordoned off to keep the heathens away. They need to jack up the fines (which several groups have urged the gov’t to do).
I’m wondering how you’d casually stash nearly 4 tons of gold.
gold is incredible valuable and dense.
$40M would take around 14-15 litres of space and weigh around 275kg.
So needs the space of just over a dozen cartons of milk to store $40M worth of gold.
I got the “nearly 4 tons” from a quick ChatGPT about gold weight:
It depends on the size of the gold bar.
The most common “standard” gold bar used by central banks and bullion dealers is the London Good Delivery bar, which weighs about:
- 400 troy ounces
- ≈ 12.4 kg (27.4 lb)
So for 300 gold bars:
300 times 12.4kg = approx 3720 kg
EDIT - I reverse-engineered that and 4 tons of gold would be USD 539,400,000. Luckily I don’t work in commodities. Can you imagine..? ![]()
For once, it’s not a black BMW ![]()
Apparently the Swiss do have road rage after all…
Black Mercedes, another asshole favourite. Not quite Range Rover levels, but close enough.
Agreed, we have two asshole neighbors meeting that description. Everybody else is mostly cool.
The other driver however is probably guilty of coercion, a criminal offense.
