Yes. Moved.

Yup...


Quote:
About 360,000 nickels were stolen, weighing 3,968 pounds.

Quote:
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story incorrectly estimated the weight of the nickels as 200 pounds.

And they walked out with these during a house party? What kind of vehicle were they driving they could load up with two tons of coins? How many trips into and out of the house to their vehicle would this have taken and no one noticed?
