Gold Coin That Weighs 220 Pounds Somehow Stolen

Thieves kept their eyes on the target in the early hours of Monday morning when they somehow circumvented a German museum's security system and made off with just one coin.

But it's not just any old coin; the so-called "big maple leaf" Canadian coin is pure 24-carat gold, big and heavy, and valued at around $4 million, reports the BBC.

Looks like a 50lb weight you'd find at a gym.

... Investigators have not revealed their theories regarding how thieves entered the museum without tripping alarms and made off with an artifact installed behind bulletproof glass and too heavy for a single person to carry.

Yeah, it's not an inside job...
 
Would give a whole new meaning to Gold's gym! :rotflmbo: The weights for the bar are usually 45lbs, this almost 5X the weight. I'm sure it was just another casual stroll for all these he-man thieves wandering around now. I also think there was at a minimum inside help, if not done 100% by insiders. Just like the guy that supposedly stumbled upon and then wandered off with 86lbs of gold a few months ago. :doodoo:
