Thai family begs for public’s help after elderly mother dumps S$80,000 worth of gold bars into trash<\/h2>\n

A family in Bangkok is desperately searching for three gold bars worth 2 million baht (S$80,000) after their elderly mother — who has dementia — unknowingly threw them out with the household rubbish.<\/p>\n

Gold bars mistakenly dumped with rubbish<\/h3>\n

According to Thailand’s Daily News, the gold consisted of three gold bars kept as part of the family’s savings.<\/p>\n

The man recounted that, on 3 Nov, his mother took the gold out to examine it and then put it inside an envelope; however, she later forgot about it.<\/p>\n

When the garbage truck arrived the next morning, she hurried to gather the household rubbish and mistakenly included the envelope in one of the trash bags.<\/p>\n

The family only realised the gold was missing on 5 Nov when the woman intended to sell it.<\/p>\n

A district officer later informed them that the trash bags had not been sorted and that waste from the area is incinerated daily, making retrieval extremely difficult.<\/p>\n

The family is now requesting access to in-truck camera footage in hopes of narrowing down where the envelope might have ended up.<\/p>\n

Family appeals online for help<\/h3>\n

Desperate for leads, the man contacted a well-known volunteer group to help publicise their plea.<\/p>\n

He wrote that the family felt “completely in the dark” and urged anyone who might have seen or found the envelope to come forward. A cash reward will be given to anyone who returns the gold.<\/p>\n

He also asked police to interview garbage collectors and review CCTV along the disposal route.<\/p>\n

The family added that if any waste collection worker had unknowingly picked up the bars, they hoped they would return them. They promised a token of appreciation in return.<\/p>\n
