Hmmm.

My mother always told me it was never a good idea to brag.

But yet that is what lots of people on the forums are doing by showing the pictures of their finds.

He was a money lender.  There is no indication that he was killed in a robbery.  People here will kill you for a buck ... are you going to keep your dollar bills hidden to avoid being put to death?

he should have bought a body guard or two...

True that........take care where you choose to do your bragging 'cause obviously the wrong venue could get you killed!

This guy was fort knox on feet....flaunting it in one of the poorest countries in the world per capita, should have learned some modesty. I hardly think posting a few nuggets here and there would make any one of us victims...just be smart about it and carry a big stick. I would agree its a good reminder to us all to be very careful who you choose to share information with.

He was beaten and killed by people known to him whom he owed money to. No gold was stolen.

Datta D. Phuge was beaten to death by his son's friends after luring him to a fake birthday party because Phuge reportedly owed them Rs.150,000.

Rs.150,000 is about $2,236

By all accounts this was a guy who loved his gold more than his friends, Sometimes friends are more valuable than all the gold in the world.
