i just heard that some guys kidnapped the bank manager
then went to his hiuse and told his wife and kids that daddy was injured.
when the wife and child left with the robbers they told dad to open the bank or the family will die.in the end no one got hurt and they got away clean.
one of the most perfect crimes ever.so much money i hope they get away forever but they wont.

The only thing is that you would probably be paranoid for your whole life with that money, always looking over your shoulder, I couldn't handle that shit/.

What a nerve you must have to pull that shit off - even if you did, isn't the money traceable?
They will have to keep their spending on the downlow as well.

i dont think its traceable cuz they werent expecting to get hit.
usually they keep records of the serial numbers.
if they keep their mouth shut they might have a chance.
most things go wrong cuz people want attention
then someone gets jealous and bam.shit hits the fan

I think a GUY(single) could have got away with it.. But GUYS(more than 1) someone is gonna talk. If I were to ever rob a bank or anything of that nature a hit on a mesuem or something, I'd make sure I was the only one to know and I would know hot to do everything before hand so I didn't have a team.

thats pretty crazy i saw that on the news, its like straight out of the movies heh 40 mil bank robberies dont happen too often...

I've always thought that art thiefs were kinda interesting, they almost always end up getting caught but its kinda cool in a way, at least they dont usually hurt anyone. I feel that art like that though should be for all to see.

Yeah... but in that case... it would be more like...

It was between 30 and 50 million pounds they arent sure, and it was done by a big team of professionals apparently. im sure theres loads of ways they could launder the money, but the guy on the tv says there was probably someone working on the inside and thats how they'll find them. they said the police arent saying if its traceable or not, but it was being held in a cash storage depot i bet those places mark them somehow anyway. this is so cool i hope they get away with it

smurf for some missions you need more eyes.
you can plan and plan
but theres always the x-factor
[people you didnt expect or some hero trying to be brave.
you might need a driver to get away or someone to make a distraction.
its always good to have a partner but it has to be someone you trust with your life
not to mention for when the swat comes running in with guns drawn, you can shoot yourself in the shoulder, shove the gun in your partners chest (so he grabs it due to natural reaction) and shove him in the hall, convienently pass out and when you "come to" recant your story for the authorities... tell them of how you were taken hostage by this crazy lunatic shithead so that "if he died you died too"

Yeah, Old Ladies get mugged for their handbag which only contains a pack of "murray mints" and a few £/$!!

Worse worse gets done, for much less!

Fair Play to them for having the arsehole to try it I say!

You give them a five dollar bill and they give you Three Hundred Thousand Duffs...

with 40 million you could hire someone to do it for you. You could probably hire people to look left and right as well.

i'd rather grit my teeth and push for all i'm worth with both hands then not get shot and get sent to prison subjected to numerous beatings/rapings.... lol...

its weird cuz when someone gets shot
they dont always go down.the adrenaline
kicks in and people can surprise you.
if you get a shoulder hit youd still be able to function for a few minutes

I heard a guy talking about this on the radio today. He said it could have been anyone cus they get such a big turnaround of staff at these places. Must be a security nightmare. It certainly was the other night.:D
