*** begin quote ***
 
Mellein, a 79-year-old retired civil servant, kept cash and 110 gold coins worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in his box to safeguard his financial security. He invested in the precious metals with the proceeds after he and his wife sold their Malibu home in 2002. 
 
Pearsons and her husband Michael Storc similarly rented a security deposit box in 2017 as a financial safeguard, storing around $20,000 in silver and $2,000 in cash.

Those 110 gold coins represent a tidy sum.  No idea if they were Bullion or Numismatic.  Either way not simething to sneeze at.
 
Why is “civil forfeiture” even allowed?  
 
It’s really just another form of Gooferment theft!
 
Better off digging a hole in your backyard!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Government agents seized $181,500 in cash at airport and won’t give it back | FOX 5 New York

The lawsuit says an agent gave Nulman a receipt to document the $181,500, but the federal agencies now say only $159,950 was confiscated. That’s $21,550 less than what the company says was seized.

Isn’t this nonsensical?

I don’t understand how that this type activity is allowed to continue.
