When criminals steal gold bullion and diamonds, where do they go to fence the goods and how do they do it?

Ie The 1983 Heathrow gold robbery. They got away with £25million of gold bars. How did they do it? Nearly all of it has not been found. It can't be that easy to exchange/melt down/stash all that money and gold.

1. I am not sure.I would say they sell it to private investors though.If you remember correctly a painting that had been stolen ended up in Sevn Speilburgs collection.Finally his secretary noticed it.Next question?I assume they are out of the money they paid for it?or are they if its insured?no idea....
2. they head to Superpawn
3. Some times not all the stolen Items are sold back to the insurance companies. Then a robbery is not a robbery A cover up to make it look like a robbery.
