    It was worth reading TFA to the end for this nugget:

    "This is very rare," he said.

    I guess that is what you get when the reporter insists on a quote.

    Made me think of the scene from Tenet where they pretended to steal gold from airplane.

    Then I read the text - and it seems even more like the movie.

    I bet we will be seeing an “inspired by real events” movie about this.

    Thieves going around stealing gold bars and maple syrup.

    Damn stealing 20 million dollars worth of gold reminds from an airport reminds me of the final heist in GTA V.

    Movie scriptwriter takes notes.

    > after the aircraft landed the cargo was unloaded and taken to a holding facility, in line with normal procedure ... thieves accessed the public side of a warehouse leased to a third party, outside the GTAA's primary security line ... theft "did not involve access to Toronto Pearson itself
