Armed robbers stole about $4.8 million in gold bars on Sunday from an armored truck traveling north along Interstate 95 from Florida to Massachusetts, authorities said Monday.

The two security guards working for Transvalue Inc. of Miami reported pulling off to the side of the interstate about 6:30 p.m. Sunday after their armored truck began having mechanical problems in Wilson County, the sheriff's office said.

IMHO, at least one of the drivers is in on the theft.

(Panda says he's drunk and in Canada? hmmmmmmm)

 

Sounds similar to the Loomis heist. I was on the Federal Grand Jury in '98 that overheard much of the evidence. They couldn't stop themselves from spending money and the wife told stores and the bank that the money (cash still wrapped) was from her husband signing to the be the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys (not as if Aikman had retired yet). If she had said the Browns or Chargers no one probably would have noticed.

There will be a braniac one or two steps removed from the theft that has a rich uncle die in a week or so.

Doesn't necessarily have to be a driver.  A mechanic could do something cause the vehicle to breakdown at some point and have others follow the truck.

I finally got around to reading about this. There is so much moved by truck it would blow most minds. How do you think the military gets its weapons? Drug companies ship? In NC a high value shipper is Epes. They move cigarettes all over the country

 

A friend of mine saw Remington loading ammo into a Pepsi trailer. I guess it makes sense to transport high value items in inconspicuous trailers.

Ammo falls under class 1 hazmat. It would be labeled on the outside. Probably a back haul, took Pepsi locally but no Pepsi to bring back so pick up some ammo and drop it at a warehouse

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.

      Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?

      Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
