Also worth noting is that CBC radio reported the story with the Goldfinger theme song by Shirley Bassey playing.

Hilarious! Somehow the joke is better if it takes me a second to get it, which is what happened here.

Asked by reporters how they determined how much the culprit had stolen, the Head of Mint Security explained, “We worked it out with a pencil.”
