What if you hid it well? How are they going to find it?

"Hi, Costco. We would like to subpoena you for the customer records for every person that bought gold. Note that 'would like to' means 'are going to, and you will comply'. Love, the US Government."

"Hello I'm agent smith from federal agency group, costco said you bought some gold, where is it?"

"lost it"

"Mind if we search your house?"

"i've known you were going to ever since I bought the gold; knock yourself out. Just please don't disturb my antique collection of locked filing cabinets. They're all empty but the keys are in that big pile over there"

You sound overly confident. It's not as if federal agents never had to look for hidden money stashes before...
