Modern Day Silver Heist in Canada
The internet is buzzing with the recent story coming out of Montreal, Canada. Wednesday, September 2, 2015, three hundred and fifty security cameras couldn't stop the Canadian heist of the century. 16 tonnes of silver being hauled in a Maersk shipping container was hooked up to a stolen, white 1997 Freightliner truck. From there, the silver and the truck seem to have disappeared into thin air. The cargo of precious silver metal was stolen from the Port of Montreal. Reports say the container itself was located on Saturday, in Repentigny, Quebec. The container was near Salomon-Juneau and St-Paul Street, in a residential area. However, the semi-trailer and the 16 tonnes of silver, worth roughly $10 million Canadian and $7.53 million US, have vanished.
This brazen heist has shocked the Canadian police to their core. Police had no idea that anything fishy was going on until sometime after the truck filled with valuable silver had left the port. These thieves managed to bypass all security and checkpoints at the port. A theft in broad daylight like this suggests that a plan had been laid in pace beforehand. It also goes to show that gold is not the only precious metal desired by crooks and criminals.
The truth is that those who own precious metals cannot underestimate silver. It must be locked up and properly protected at all times. Despite the fact that some companies are toting "Home Storage" IRA's to save people money, the truth is that beyond heavy IRA fines and penalties, it's just not safe.
Many people may think it's okay to brag they own silver and show it off. The truth is that it's not. Silver is seen as a valuable item and should be protected in a secure vault just like cash or gold. Silver is cash, and we've seen the price become more affordable lately. Since it's become so affordable, people are stocking up. It's not a good idea to keep the metal in your home for many reasons. If the Canadian heist taught anyone anything, let's hope it's that silver deserves the same respect as gold or cash.
This valuable commodity is beautiful, desirable, and may shoot up just like we saw gold do. There's no reason to take a risk. Proper storage and protection will guarantee the safety of your family's assets.
