I suspect an inside job. They knew where and how it was kept; not easy to just walk off with an item weighing over 200 pounds.
I would look for someone with reinforced pockets in their jeans
I'd suspect a table saw and a melting furnace are working overtime today!
This is going to affect the population.
I knew it would happen.
yep, with no cert number gonna be hard to identify.

Be smoe high dollar sawdust for sure.
That's the risk with tangible assets: someone can just steal them from you by force or when you're not looking.

Not the proper venue. This should be listed in the BST Forum. Do you take Pay Pal?

Police are already looking for these two suspects.
With the present high crime rate in Berlin, I am sure this will never be seen again... undoubtedly has gone to finance activities not in the German best interest. Cheers, RickO
I'd be looking at either the Big Show, Shaq, or a 330 lb. NFL offensive lineman.....any of them over in Berlin recently? Those guys could carry that in one arm.
Hey, if we can find Tom Brady's superbowl jersey, we should be able to find this. Start with the guy in Mexico.
Could be tough "on the run" with that one

@drwstr123... Thank you for the link..... interesting details... they must have killed the alarm system since none were activated...They should waterboard them until they tell what happened to the gold. No mercy...just get results. Cheers, RickO
You were right, the family is involved in drug and weapons smuggling.

Ran across this article when reading the news tonight.
Police argue the three related men are members of the Remmo clan, a Lebanese crime family with a powerful stronghold in Berlin.
I always wondered what happened after the theft. Thanks for the update !!!
They should drop a 400 ounce gold bar onto their heads from about 50 feet up.
