Holy pilferage Batman!

They need better inventory control! Over $6 million in gold gone before they noticed???

Let me see... the vault manager takes the gold home for safe keeping. When she determines the vault at the company is safe, she returns the gold that she had stored on behalf of her employer. And she faces jail time for being such an efficient employee?? LOL

That works out to be about 5 ounces pilfered per work day assuming she took 2 weeks of vacation per year. It's probably still a better return than when we find out what % of gold GLD actually has. Also read a post on Kitco that mentioned that in the SLV prospectus they had changed the words "silver bullion" to "silver." That would much more easily allow paper substitutes.

If only she had stopped at 400 lbs!
