As good as gold

Sorry but this is going to take a while. There are over a fifty boxes and each box has ten to twenty envelopes.

How many houses did he rob?

Around a couple of hundred. Of course some people may not have reported a break-in.

Wow. Couple of hundred. Busy man. And now you've got him he's unemployed?

He was a bad man. Anyway, let's get started, see if any of yours are here. Mostly coins, was it?

Coins and ingots.

Bit of a problem with the classifications. We have medals which might be coins, we have pendants which might also be coins. What else?

Ingots. like this. Here's a sample.

I recall seeing some of those but I think we called them pendants or bars.

How long do you think this will take? I have an appointment at five.

Better cancel it. Probably take three hours plus an hour for writing the report.
