$1M gold bathtub stolen from Japan hotel

[B]TOKYO[/B] - A glittering bathtub made of gold worth nearly $1 million has been stolen from a resort hotel, an official said Wednesday. 
 
A worker at Kominato Hotel Mikazuki in Kamogawa, south of Tokyo, notified police that the fancy tub was missing from the hotel's guest bathroom on the 10th floor, according to a local police official who only gave his surname, Ogawa.
The round tub, worth $987,000, is made of 18-karat gold and weighs 176 pounds.
The tub, flanked by two crane statues, has been a main feature of the hotel's shared bathroom. Visitors can take a dip in the tub, but it is only available a few hours a day "for security reasons," the hotel's Web site said.
Someone apparently cut the chain attached to the door of a small section of the bathroom where the bathtub was placed, but not riveted, and made off with the tub, Ogawa said.
"We have no witness information and there are no video cameras," he said. "We have no idea who took it," the official said.

Someone should have upped the security for a 1,000,000 dollar bath tub..
 
My question is, besides melting the tub down, WTF are you going to do with a gold bathtub worth a million jibbs.

why would someone NOT melt it down?

a million dollar hunk of gold is worth a million bucks, no matter what its formed as.

Yup it is going to be melted down. That sucks. No security or video footage. Kinda fishy for what it is worth.

haha pwnt

It'll end up in the back of sum VIP styled mini van.:thumbsup: 
 
  Just add JP curtains and the new JP bath towels and your set!  :cool:

I don't think they could have installed security cameras for privacy reasons. Since they were allowing customers to take a bath in it.

lmao

Wow...well, I guess I kinda have to give props to whoever thought of stealing a gold bathtub, even if it is dishonest - it's not the most evident theft idea!

 LMMFAO.

If they don't melt it down... black market guarantee!!

Im thinking insurance scam how the hell could nobody see somebody carrying that thing around the hotel and out the door and it had to be at least 2 of them to load it up into whatever they transported it in. Sounds Hella Fishy...

Ok with all the facts and theories in place.... stolen gold, possibility of melting down to reshape into a sick ass necklace......... WHERE WAS FLAVA FLAVE DURING THE NIGHT IN QUESTION?????? hahahahahaahaha
