Bullion Tactics In Japanese Gold Heist

Pointing out stories you may have missed. Guess what’s likely to happen if you have more than a million bucks’ worth of gold on display, unprotected by sensors? Yep, chances are, someone’s going to walk away with it.
Three masked men have stolen a massive block of gold bullion on display in a museum in Japan. The gold bar, valued at $1.71 million, weighed about 100 kilograms and was kept in an open safe. The museum, in the central city of Takayama, said the gold was not protected by sensors as they wanted visitors to be able to touch it. The gold was lugged past an employee alerted by the noise, down a staircase and out of the museum where the three men were driven away by a fourth accomplice.
