Re: [DML] Value of the dies

[Mike Substelny <msubstel@xxxx>]

In my opinion, the dies are most valuable right where they are. Their resting place on the bottom of the sea just adds to the drama and controversy surrounding the DeLorean. Someday, I imagine I'll see a re-enactment of the dies being dumped overboard as the ending credits roll in a DeLorean movie. Each splash would be a poignant moment. Some DMLers will burst into tears, other would have to leave the theater or risk seeing their popcorn & Pepsi come back up. What an ending!

If someone chooses to recover them, you might want to do it in a dramatic way. I would never advocate committing a crime, but my imagination can sure come up with strange things that could happen to them. What if Margaret Thatcher awoke one morning to find a driver's door die on her lawn? Now *that* would add a chapter to the saga! When you went to prison it would give the rest of us a Duesey of a story to talk about on the DML.

But no one is crazy enough to do that, so just leave the dies where they are. If you are going to dive on them, perhaps you could mark them with a plaque giving their identity, and telling their historical significance for future generations.
