Who would be dumb enough to ship 86 lbs of gold using regular freight over say Brinks who use armed guards.



Something very fishy about the shipment, was it insured and did the pail really contain gold.

I don't know how "fluffy" gold flake is, but I think buckets the size of which was stolen would weigh more than 86 lbs. My five gallon buckets of stripped copper wire or windings usually weigh 50 - 60 lbs.
