    TL;DR
    3 men rams a stolen SUV into Wells Fargo history museum in San Francisco, made off with ~10oz worth of gold nuggets from the California Gold Rush Era.

    I hope they don't get melted down.

    A couple of real nuggets from the gold rush would be a waste.

    Sad reflection on Wells Fargo though...
