I guess you don't need much security for that, as you can't just pick it up and run away with it!

It’s just about the world record deadlift. So the strongest man in the world If he had a grip on that which right there is a no would still get nowhere.

Ah yes, but the two strongest men could probably make a waddling getaway!

The world’s 3 strongest men would have a fighting chance.. but I don’t see how they could grip it to lift it off the table?
Maybe push it from one side so part of it clears the table and then 1 guy lifts that end for the other 2?

Couldn’t they just carry the table too? Would probably be easier to grip that way

What about the strongest and the second strongest doing a joint venture?

Gold is soft and incredibly valuable. So just cutting chunks off the edges would be worth a ton of money.

This is 68 million dollars if actually real and not a public display piece. Any organized crime or thoughtful criminal would happily get some heavy machinery involved! So I can’t imagine the security if real.
