A lawsuit offers a glimpse into the victim’s view of the April heist, though the case remains unsolved..
For six months, the disappearance of $17.2 million in gold bars and cash from a warehouse at Toronto Pearson International Airport has remained a mystery. Now a lawsuit has given the public a glimpse into the victim’s view of the heist.
...
While the case remains unsolved, a lawsuit has now filled in several of the blanks surrounding the robbery with still unproven allegations. The lawsuit was brought by Brink’s, the armored car company hired to move the cash and gold bars from Switzerland to Canada, against Air Canada, which flew and stored the high-value cargo container.
According to a statement of claim that Brink’s and two of its subsidiaries filed with the Federal Court of Canada, the cash and the gold were two separate shipments traveling together. The 53 kilograms of cash worth $1.9 million were sent by a Swiss bank to a Vancouver-based currency exchange. The 400 kilos of gold bars worth 13.6 million Swiss francs, or $15.3 million, were going to Toronto-Dominion Bank from a precious metal refinery in Switzerland. (The value of the cargo is slightly higher than the initial police estimate.) Brink’s said that it was responsible to the shippers for covering any losses if the gold and cash went missing.
Brink’s paid a premium, as a flat-rate handling fee and a percentage of the cargo’s value, to send the shipment through a special Air Canada service called AC Secure that, according to the airline, provides greater security and gives the shipment priority for loading and unloading.

I found $17 million worth of gold and jewellry in my closet. I can’t imagine how it got there.
Just wondering, would the still happen to be connected to Air America?
Have they looked in the lost luggage?
Did the police or the government do it? This is a valid question these days when cops rob armored cars.
Caused by climate change?
It was around here somewhere. A minute ago.
What they need is a Richard Pryor type to pull up in a red Farrari.

A decent show called World’s Greatest Heists ran last year.
Two recurring themes-they rarely got the stuff back and the prison sentences absent aggravating circumstance were remarkably lenient regardless of jurisdiction compared to the hauls.
Have they checked Joe Biden’s garage?
