What bank is this? Not asking for specific branch, but main bank name? Gold is heavy. Maybe the bank clerks were unable to lift some of the boxes?
“Gold is heavy”

If somebody has so much gold it can’t be lifted, their name is Warren Buffet. 99% of the people could convert their life savings to a handful of coins.
Seriously, it is amazingly compact, valuable stuff. That’s why it has been money or the store of value par excellence for thousands of years.
