when the punishments are the same for theft over $5k and theft of $20 million, you might wanna update your criminal code

[mikemurphy]

I heard they took the gold and still couldn’t afford a house in Toronto.

Imagine telling your boss that you accidentally put the pallet of gold bars into the fish truck.

them laughing at the beginning of this when not recovering even a fraction of what's lost says it all

Who starts a serious meeting with. We think this should be in a Netflix series. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Funny part is all Suspects are released on Bail. This is the stupidest thing I ever heard.

Air Canada waited 5 hours to contact police. Excellent headstart for the truck driver.

[momzilla]

They let these criminals out of bail? How the F did that happen?

[bruh]

They call it 20 million.... But if 1 kg of gold is currently $105, 000 dollars, then 400 kgs is actually 40+million

Thank you for the step by step how to, including necessary documentation and expected response times.

So pretty much you're saying you have nothing to show for it, but a truck and a tiny fraction of the value of what was stolen .... great work

Nobody is serious in this country. Nobody. Not the Prime Minister, not the entire government, not the courts, not the airport workers, not the police. Nobody

400 kg of gold at todays value is not $20M. Try $41M. Add the cash this heist was over $43M. I don't understand why they always underestimate the value.

[tango]

No report of the rest of $20 million in gold bars missing? They only recovered a few gold bracelets? This is an utter failure of law enforcement.

[muddywisconsin]

Should update the laws, how can 5k in thefts and 20 million be treated the same

[ugeneous]

When are you arresting the government. They are currently stealing 50% of my earnings and calling it tax

[urkzwuz]

Overestimate drug busts, underestimate gold heists. To serve and protect.

[ufanforever]

Released on conditions. Lets see how many show up for trial or flee the country

[aribacardiii]

[RyansBlock]
