[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2097414, member: 66"]That's what I was thinking too. If it was in metal form it doesn't take up that much space. 275 pounds of gold can be formed into a cube a little less than 7 1/2 inches on a side. Not something you would need a semi truck for. On the other hand dissolved in solution creates another problem. Assuming standard 55 gal barrels, each barrel will have 90 pounds of gold and 400 or so pounds of solution in it. How do you get a 490 pound barrel down off a semi without a loading dock or a forklift? And if they did break down you can bet they had radios and cell phones they could report the problem to the police immediately. As for sabotaging the truck at a rest stop or something like that, one of the reason for two people is so that there are very few stops and the truck in never left unattended.
