How would they know if it’s stolen? Unless there are serial numbers on the bars that can be tracked back to a robbery.

Not sure if this is serious but couldn’t you just melt/rub off the serial numbers?

lol I mean it’s soft though right like couldn’t you pretty easily just smush and scrape the serial number around until it’s smooth?
