    Holy crap(er).
    What kind of dimwit are these cleaners that they didn't run with it? Thats their lucky break, their way out.
    What did they have to lose? A dead-end toilet cleaning job?
    Instead, now its probably being distributed among corrupt government officials.

    If those corrupt government officials you mentioned decided to tag a label of terrorism or drug smuggling against the bars the cleaning job could certainly be a dead end one... :|

    Like a few others mentioned the owners of the gold would probably get to them first anyway :eek:

    Maybe that was just what the cleaner couldn't fit in his bag.

    Everywhere...simultaneously

    We have no idea what sort of constraints these cleaners are under. Maybe they are obligated, as part of their job, to walk through a metal detector with their cleaning equipment after cleaning a plane. There's lots of maybe's that we can have no idea about which led them to believe the better choice was reporting the find.
