<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2364934, member: 27832&quot;]Remember this story? There was an arrest this week, and the FBI has released more details about the theft. It looks like my original guesses and suspicions were, well, not too accurate...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.wral.com/fbi-reveals-details-of-4-8m-gold-truck-robbery/15475307/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wral.com/fbi-reveals-details-of-4-8m-gold-truck-robbery/15475307/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wral.com/fbi-reveals-details-of-4-8m-gold-truck-robbery/15475307/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The alleged ringleader, Adalberto Perez, apparently spent a year preparing for the heist. It was an &quot;inside job&quot; only in the sense that Perez was able to place a <b>remote-control pepper-spray launcher</b> to incapacitate the driver; that, I guess, was the &quot;gas smell&quot; that overpowered him. He also planted a GPS device to keep track of the truck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perez <i>was</i> smart enough to chip off and sell anonymous bits of gold, rather than trying to move the whole bar at once. He wasn&#039;t smart enough, though, to keep quiet about it, and one of the &quot;friends&quot; he confided in eventually became an informant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
