Cleaners find $1.9M worth of gold bars in plane toilet
An aircraft cleaning crew found 280 gold bars worth more than $1 million in the lavatory of a plane belonging to Middle East discount airline Flydubai. The Daily Mail of London says "cleaners stumbled across the bullion when they were cleaning the plane's bathroom" last week after the jet flew from Dubai to the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka. Armed police were called onto the aircraft, where they seized the 70-pound stash of gold. The Daily Mail estimates the bars' value at 1.17 million or about $1.9 million.

The Daily Mail writes "custom officials said they knew the bars were on board and believe the person carrying them sensed there was a police presence and abandoned the gold in the toilet of the aircraft before fleeing the scene."

It's not the first time a gold-smuggling attempt has been reported at Dhaka. The Daily Mail says "more than 100 hauls" have been seized at the airport just in the past eight months, netting authorizes about 660 pounds of gold and other precious items.

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 :o

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.
