If they weren't expecting the gold, how did they get away with it, considering
how much gold weighs? That much gold would bottom out most vehicles.

Ian?s Wikipedia article on the robbery says
?gold bullion, diamonds, and cash stolen?
?Most of the gold has never been recovered.?
?The robbers thought that they were going to steal around 1 million worth
of Spanish pesetas,[3][8] but they also found three tonnes (96,000 troy oz) of pure gold bullion[9] outside the main vault in 152 bars in 76 cardboard boxes. The gold had been stored at the warehouse overnight before being due to be transferred to Hong Kong the next day.[8] In addition, they stole platinum, 1,000 carats of diamonds and $250,000 of traveller's cheques.[10] The total value of their haul was 26 million (equivalent to 111 million
in 2023)?
They got it someplace and smelted it down into coins to continue
transporting it, but Ian doesn?t answer your question about how the hell
they got it away from the vault in the first place.
