Well, who is going to notice that four gold bars out of 2000 are missing?
Or that two workers are walking funny?

I’m pretty sure they counted them before the flight and when they arrived.

Yeah, what’s a few kilos of gold more or less? They still had plenty left.

Pfffft! I wouldn’t even show UP if the ‘take’ was only $224K.

Just say you were shop lifting in San Francisco and you will get off.

Lucky it came from Australia
If it was from China they’d be walking away with gold covered tungsten.

There has to be more people involved in this operation. Someone had to have tipped off the ground crew about the gold shipment on the plane. After all, I don’t think it would be shipped in a crate marked, “gold bars, fine, 25. This end up”.

Lets see; At the current spot price that would be
~US$ 122,186,495.18.
With a cargo that valuable, I’d charter a plane and ride shotgun on it myself, every inch or the way.
“Do you think we’ll get caught?”
“Nah”

Some people just have no honesty left in them.
Go directly to jail.

“With a cargo that valuable, I’d charter a plane and ride shotgun on it myself, every inch or the way.”
Good point. That strikes me as too valuable of a cargo not to have some kind of armed escort or protection.
