I've always joked don't bother me with any nefarious schemes unless it's the Swiss International Air Lines hangar on the Friday of a long weekend. Let's see who and how this plays out.

That much gold would fit into 3 milk crates.

I saw a couple of suspicious KLRs buzzing around Rexdale and Airport road yesterday.... hmmm?

 

[ToSlow]

Wasn't me

What's a milk crates worth of gold weigh?

One article this morning said 100 million worth, now cp24 saying only 20 mil... big discrepancy there.

Almost every bank/gold/armored truck robbery substantially under reports the value. They don't want to encourage others by telling them how profitable it actually was.

Article - meh. Comments - gold.

"Air Canada was involved so pretty good chance they just lost it! It's probably going around a baggage claim belt in Saskatoon."

Good to see Pearson is keeping the status quo of being one of the worse airports.

Gold actually went missing from a public side of a warehouse leased to a third party, outside Pearson security perimeter. Who leaves 20million sitting in a box with no security system ? Wound love to hear the rest of this story

Someone who is getting a cut. Alternatively, company had crap protocols that were exploited (for instance pull fire alarm and employees leave immediately as trained instead of first securing their cargo).

 

[ToSlow]

Wondering what other trinkets went missing in the pile

 

[SunnY S]

BREAKING... Arrests to be announced soon...

 

[ToSlow]

Arrest made

So the two skids that went missing were emblazoned with the words Gold Bars and US currency . It’s like a Warner Bros cartoon .

Similar thing happened in the states, a little more Oceans 11 vibe though. So zero on premise security guards at a "money storage facility" odd.

In one of L.A.'s largest cash heists ever, burglars steal as much as $30 million from vault

Thieves stole as much as $30 million Sunday night at a facility in Sylmar where cash from businesses across the region is handled and stored.
