Gold pucks Stolen in...well, it's weird

Hey, I'm just the messenger. Butt, I digress...

He really was sitting on a gold mine. Leston Lawrence, a Royal Canadian Mint worker convicted of stealing 22 gold “pucks” by smuggling them in his rectum, was sentenced to 30 months in prison Thursday, the Ottawa Citizen reported. You can google more...

That's hilarious... Set off the detectors 28 times and they never found gold on his body. What a hoot.

My thing is... he was only convicted of stealing 22 of them? What? were the first 6 times "practice runs?" (no pun intended).

Talk about the goose laying the golden egg. LOL

I am guessing that if he could build up a history of the detector falsely alerting on him, it might make the security people not check him as hard.

Did they use a brand name detector on him? Funny if someone who worked in security for the Mint posted the find here and it made Banner!

He won't mind prison. He's used to being pucked in the behind.

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet the real Tyrion Lannister (GoT fans know what I'm referring to).

The only reason he was caught is because he used the gold dealer next door to his actual bank. At the 18th cheque, the teller put two and two together because the branch knew where he worked and called the cops. The Mint had no idea. Caught because he choose convenience over guile.
