GOLD FINGER
Trio steal valuable bar
Tokyo--- Three masked men snatched a block of gold bullion valued at roughly $1.71 million (56 million bath) on March 18 from a Japanese museum that allowed visitors to touch the 100-kilogramme bar.
Shoving aside a female museum worker, the three fled the museum in Takayama, a small city in central Japan.
“There were no sensors or burglar alarms, since the museum allowed its visitors to touch the gold,” a police spokesman said. ---Reuters
