Me Gold! Me Gold!

Damn, there are a lot of surveilance cameras in New York City.

Ever watch Person of Interest? Cameras all over the place.
This guy is a dead ringer for Detective Fusco btw...

He's stuck in a Groundhog Day-type time vortex and he's got the timing of this down after hundreds of reps. He then spends the rest of the day blowing the gold flakes on cocaine and strippers. Every day. Like Bill Murray should have instead practicing piano and memorizing french poetry, damnit.

He is a member of the Buckeye athletic department, taking the gold to give each Buckeye player in Saturday's game a pair of gold pants.
After all, what better way to honor a stolen victory than with a memento made of stolen gold?

has probably been reliving the same day for years and meticulously practiced the steps when the guard looks away.
EDIT: Damn, should have read all the posts above.

Like in college, we were coming back from a party drunk and passed a delivery truck taking things into Burger King on South U. So we snagged the top box on top of a stack and make a break for it. Got back to the apartment all excited to see what we had, opened it up, and.....it was a box of mayo packets and we all hated mayo. Such a let down.

Note to the OP. This is not a "horrible crime". It's a hilarious crime.
Jes' sayin' ... .

Plus the loss of a lot of money is covered by insurance. Which spreads the loss of $1.6M thinly enough to make it rounding error.
So I'm going to go with hilarious, not horrible. When I think of "horrible crimes" I think of murder, rape, maiming, and a hundred other things that are not grabbing a bucket of gold dust and waddling through Midtown Manhattan struggling to carry the damn thing (especially when the crime is apparently spontaneous).

So what your saying is that its sad that people who don't do their jobs lose them? The security guard profession exists literally because people steal valuable items. His sole responsibility is to protect valuables from those people. Leaving $1.6 million worth of said valuables unattended in the middle of the busiest city in the US is not providing protection.

That money is insured, the only people that lost were Lloyds of London, and the guard who is definitely fired. And I guess the taxpayers who are funding the investigation.

I nominate Bill Burr as the funniest man on the planet.

Nevermind
November 30th, 2016 at 7:26 PM ^
So is he going to get away with it or what ?
November 30th, 2016 at 8:10 PM ^
The crime happened two months ago, so . . . yeah?
November 30th, 2016 at 9:25 PM ^
November 30th, 2016 at 9:43 PM ^
Well he is a New Yorker, so there is a pretty good possibility of that.
November 30th, 2016 at 10:05 PM ^
If he's smart, he's now in South Dakota somewhere.

I never leave more than $1.3M in my bucket when it's unattended. Am I OK?
November 30th, 2016 at 7:41 PM ^
So... do they have to call somebody when you walk into a cash for gold place with something valued that high?
... Asking for a friend.

tips hotline several times to report the man because I saw him outside of Madison Square Garden in a brown poncho.
I go to school in Wisconsin, but you gotta respect the hustle.

If it's not an inside job, the dude is either a genius, or just had extremely dumb luck.

Ryan points out one of the more entertaining sides of living in a city, when you're sitting on a subway train and someone has obviously just made a Home Depot run and needs to get their haul home. Went through turnstiles with plywood and mops and pipes and shit. It's hilarious.
