"They said the suspects then took several barrels of gold" ... what?

$4 million in gold is 8 bars. You don't need several barrels to transport that much gold, you could fit it into a small briefcase. A very heavy briefcase, sure, but still. Something is weird here.

The barrel thing threw me as well. That's about 244 lbs of gold if my calculations are right.

Ron Swanson, discussing his gold purchases: I don't know how much money I have, but I know how many pounds of money I have.

I think they probably meant "bars" and some intern fucked it up.

So like the average weight of all of your moms.

I believe you commented on it at the time, it was so small that you don't even remember it.

Update

“There is suspicion at this time that this could be an inside job due to the circumstances of the robbery," a Wilson County Sheriff’s Office detective wrote in a search warrant application to get access to one of the guards' cell phones, one of two search warrants in the case obtained today.

"The fact that the truck was robbed immediately upon it pulling over at an unannounced stop is suspicious in and of itself," the document added. "It is also suspicious because there are no markings on the side of the truck that would indicate the type of cargo contained therein. The suspects also went directly to the trailer and found the gold which was in unmarked five gallon buckets. It is not believed that this is a random act due to the nature and facts of this robbery."

The second search warrant application was to get access to the truck and the trailer it was pulling.

Woodard told reporters today that the case was "suspicious," but declined to reiterate the theory expressed in the search warrant that the robbery could have been an inside job.

So neither bars nor barrels... buckets.

Ah, security by obscurity.
