Courier allegedly opens parcel to steal 3 Krugerrands

Sunday was a tough morning for me coming to grips with modern-day theft.

Why doesn't the courier company track the movements and stops of the vehicle, where, for how long?
Plus live in cab and loading area video cameras?

Stealing gold is modern day theft, ok

Three krugerrand for Sunday delivery... expensive surcharge.

Most do but it's difficult to keep track of 1200+ vehicles all the time.

if they fail the test they will lose their jobs.

How about arrested for theft - their house should at least be searched but it's probably been sold off already.

What kind of non shady person sends krugerrands by courier?

We have SBV and G4S picking up as little as R25k cash a day from businesses in armoured vehicles, yet these guys supposedly send more than 10 times that value...by ordinary courier? I dont believe it

Bitcoin cannot be stolen. Use that instead.

But gold coins are much more beautiful to look at. I get the biggest rush each time I get a new one for my collection. It's an even bigger rush if I find one myself while out metal detecting.

I thought Krugerrands are virtual these days.

To be honest who sends that kind of commodity with a courier ????.

But if they try to steal my merchandise, they will find out it is a waste of time, will cost them to much time to find a willing buyer.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking as well. Crazy to send Krugerrands by courier.

Agreed. Sending KrugerRands by courier ? That is insane...

Assuming from the photo that the company in question is The Courier Guy, because MyBB and Biznews could expect some major fallout associating them with the theft if it wasn't, ...

 

[Pak Fa Fui]

Stole 3 out of 9 coins, the whole thing sounds odd.

I hope that the picture of the parcel is actually from the courier company that this involves. If not, then this is extremely unprofessional from MyBroadband. If I was the boss of The Courier guy I'd be getting a lawyer ready.

If it is actually Courier Guy then I am quite disappointed. I receive parcels from them regularly and their service has always been extremely good and quick

If you look at the source article it was The Courier Guy and the parcel shown is the parcel in question.

There are courier companies that transport firearms...

You should tell all the exchanges who have been robbed that as they don't seem to know.
