Reports Thursday said that for six years a woman used a purse with a false bottom to steal tiny amounts of gold from the New York jewelry manufacturer where she was a vault manager.

She needed a suitcase and a couple dozen buckets to return the loot to her employers, the newspapers reported. Via AFP
