It was a shipment of 3212.5 Troy ounces of silver that was supposed to be delivered to the Royal Canadian Mint. The article doesn't state the how the shipment was lost/stolen/or abducted by aliens. The shipping contractor is Ross and Day, not Canada Post. Yet it's kind of cool that the article listed the lost silver that include an Engelhard 100 troy oz. bar (psst. the serial number) in hopes that someone may recognize it on some craigs-list ad.

Oh yes, the large RCM and Johnson Matthey bars (they should have serial numbers too)

Having personally lost up to 5, count'em FIVE! silver shipments over the years, I have very little faith in our Canadian postage system. In my case the thief I believe is a Canada-post/CBSA insider with access to their routing information stealing high value postage. A close forensic analysis of the chain of possession should reveal the culprit(s).
