Police say the thief lugged the gold flakes up the street, taking an hour to complete what would normally be considered a 10-minute walk. He then hopped into a white van and fled.

Authorities had arrested Nivelo before, subsequently deporting him to his home country of Ecuador a total of four times.
First thing I thought when I saw the headline. Raw gold is hard to fence or even to sell legitimately without getting ripped off. I had a client once, a rehab center, which had a contract salvaging Mallory capacitors and other electronic parts. As part of the comp, the gold was theirs. They finally ended up with a sizeable ingot, about 35 lb. Gold wasn't as high then as now, but it was post '72 and the price had risen far above the old fixed price. They came to me for help and it was a nightmare. I thought I had an easy solution. The local plant manager of Englehardt, dealing in precious metals, was the father of a friend. I went to see him. He wouldn't even recommend his own company. I found out a majority of the BOD, mostly from South Africa, were persona non grata in the US, couldn't even visit their own plants here. We finally found a firm in New Jersey to handle it, with crossed fingers. It would have been easier if we'd had the internet back then...snack like a stoner?
