Police are looking for a thief who managed to carry an 86lb (36kg) bucket of gold flakes worth $1.6m (£1.2m) off a truck in New York.
Surveillance video showed the theft happened in just 20 seconds while the armoured truck was briefly unattended.
The man struggled to carry the gold, taking an hour to lug his loot on a usually 10-minute walk, footage showed.
