When his house was put up for sale, a realtor and a neighbor went through his belongings. They discovered what Carson City Clerk and Recorder Alan Glover called an “overwhelming” amount of gold, according to KRNV-TV.

A city official used a wheelbarrel to haul the treasure away.

to where? Some guy shows up with a wheelBARREL (?), says he is from the city, has no name and walks away with $7 mil ?

7 million in gold and they don't call Brinks?

Btw, since we are all related to one guy in 300 BC and are all the very least 50th cousins -- this guy has relatives. Where's my share of Cousin Goldies stash?
