While ripping apart a bathroom to renovate it, apprentice plumber Dean Materi noticed something in the rubble underneath the old tub. “I seen a gold shimmery thing on the ground and I thought it was a copper light fixture,” Materi told the Calgary Herald. “But when I went to shovel it up, it seemed kind of heavy. I picked it up and it was a gold brick.”
It was a 1-kilogram gold bar, worth US$40,703. When Materi’s boss, Alif Babul, showed the brick to the homeowner, the owner “confirmed a gold bar was unaccounted for in the abode.”
Babul believes the gold brick was stashed near the bathroom’s jacuzzi tub and over time was moved by the vibration of the motor.
I hate it when my jacuzzi motor moves my gold bricks.
