I thought the days of a well planned bank job were over.

Apparently they abseiled down a lift shift to gain entry.
I bet they make a film out of this in 10 years time.

Re: A good old fashioned bank job
It's very very rare for safety deposit boxes to be covered by insurance. The owners of the boxes are the only people who know what's in them.
Did you hear about the security guard? He heard the alarm but said he wasn't paid enough to go inside the building and check it out

What a tw@t for admitting that. Wonder if he is open to being sued for not carrying out his Job, alerting the authority's and avoiding all of this.

I bet the owners of the safety deposit boxes want a quite word with him.

Exactly, they are mostly not insured, you can only imagine what's sort of haul they have got away with. As for the security guard.... What a plonker!

Re: A good old fashioned bank job
The police are suggesting that the gang started the underground fire in London to make it easier to rob the bank. Very clever if true

Re: A good old fashioned bank job
I hadnt heard that but very clever if they did as it saved there bacon.
I believe the police didn't respond to the alarm going off which they had notification off as they had, had lots of false alarms caused by cable damage caused by that fire.

Re: A good old fashioned bank job
You do have to wonder what our police do actually do with their time. Is burglary of any kind no longer a crime?

Re: A good old fashioned bank job
Yeah but in the majority of cases the police are simply responding in the aftermath of the crime.

Re: A good old fashioned bank job
There has been a lot of break ins where I am. 17 on one street in the month of January alone. The only thing the police do is send emails saying lock things up and mark your goods.
They could do more. They could target people handling stolen goods, they could do a good old fashioned police stake out, they came back 17 times for Christ's sake its almost giving them an arrest.
