      Well bad because it was also safe deposit boxes, which wasn’t cash, and probably a person’s valuables emptied into a bag. This isn’t the Louvre heist where there were no actual victims.

        The rich victims have insurance, and they can sue the bank, so that makes things even more difficult for the bank, and now an insurance company. This gets better and better.

        Rich people think their wealth insulates them from annoyance and inconvenience, and yet vast amounts of it seem to only exacerbate it, which is nice. I’m glad when they are unhappy.

            People who aren’t rich keep documents, like divorce papers and birth certificates, in their safety deposit boxes, which the thieves don’t want. They only steal the jewelry and cash that the rich people are hiding.

              I doubt they went through the items. They cracked the box and emptied it into a bag. Paper can be valuable depending what’s on it, they figure that out later.

                Nah, these are bank robbers, it isn’t a movie. They want a quick turnover for their haul. If they open it, and it’s full of paper, they just drop it, and go to the next one, hoping its jewelry or cash. No sense filling your bag with heavy paper that may or may not be valuable, and is difficult to fence in any case. You’d hate to get near the end, and have no more room for gold and jewels, because youve got a lot of divorce papers.

                  Oh is that what they did in your fantasy? I guess the way to thwart a bank robber is to put cash and jewels inside an envelope.

    I’m surprised that someone still practises the ancient art of physical brick-and-mortar bank heist. I guess the bank was also surprised.

      From the photo, there seems to have been a substantial-thickness concrete wall and then a brick wall. Obviously, they were still not enough, but it wasn’t just a brick wall.

      And about the wooden shelves: So what? They are not security relevant or customer facing, they just need to work as shelves.

      More important question is that how do you use it quietly enough to not gain attention.

      Eh, the bank probably won’t be inconvenienced much. I imagine they have insurance, so the insurance company will be fucked, so good cause fuck insurance companies.

      Although for something this big the government might be the insurance for the bank, so taxpayers might foot the bill.

      So fuck us I guess, we lose again.
