Who is kidding who?? This is an inside job....
86 pounds, for those wondering.
Looked exactly like the scene from Groundhog Day.
IDIOT was caught on camera, he'll be caught
“Looked exactly like the scene from Groundhog Day.”

I really gotta watch that some day to get all the references!
“86 pounds, for those wondering.”

Thanx, I was wondering, but it was getting too late for me to do the math!
“Who is kidding who?? This is an inside job”

Wouldn’t surprise me - who leaves buckets of gold unwatched?
Why was it even sitting there in the first place?
Thanx for the context. Will have to watch it some time!

That’s what I’m wondering. And in a bucket yet!
Yeah, I like how the guards always leave those armored car doors wide open and then leave the truck alone. Ya’ see that a lot, hah?
Article says unlikely that the guy knew what was in it? How stupid is that??
Right...that's why he had to walk a mile to get to his vehicle carrying 86 lbs..
Sorry....this whole thing was planned.
Maybe not. This might not make the news in Mexico (or Guatemala or wherever).
I don’t know but I’ve been told it’s hard to run with the weight of gold
Other hand I’ve heard it said it’s just as hard with the weight of lead.
Based on the current price of gold, that’s 85 pound worth of gold. I can’t imagine the guy carried it too far, very fast.
What if he put it into a car...
Then he wasn’t carrying it any more, the car would be, at that point.
Did you see the ‘armored’ truck?
Rear looked like a delivery truck, liftgate on the back. Liftgate down, back of truck wide open. Crazy!
Pot ‘o Gold just sitting there for the taking.
