Last night I watched a news from TV. A 100KG gold coin was stolen in a museum from Germany. This gold coin's purity of 999.99/1000 gold and therefore it is worth to a lot of money. I just doubt how the gangs stole this gold coin because it is so heavy. And how do they deal with it so that nobody will find it out? Perhaps they have to cut it into small pieces and then sell it?

A coin that weighs 100kg isn't a coin as such...you couldn't put that in your pocket. Although described as a coin it's more of a gold sculpture really. It'll get melted down and sold if it isn't recovered soon.
Thieves stole a 100kg gold coin with a market value of almost €4 million in a dawn heist at Berlin's Bode Museum on Monday morning.

Perhaps I should correct it as a gold thick plate

I hope it is not an inside job. It is really a huge money for the thieves.

Oh, your thought is very possible. As it is not easy to take 100KG gold coin easily.

@youless I think it is not possible. For the thieves, it is still possible.

They must have had a very good plan worked out to get away with such a crime. Perhaps they'll melt it down and get rid of it bit by bit.

You are right. Actually I think it will be a good idea to make it as a film

@youless It would make a great film once they work out how it was done.

I'm amaze how people can come up with a plan to steal something so big and heavy and not get bust on their way out. It might be an inside job.

@youless Or maybe it was just a frank! And the coin was out actually being polish somewhere.

Nothing new. Anything they think it's worth selling they steal it with out remorse. I mean if they can still a statue that has crown worth thousands, what makes this one any different. It's all about money.

The money is a drive for them to steal it.

I really hope they find who stole them. I have often wondered the same thing!

I haven't heard more news about this any more. Perhaps the police still have no clues yet.
