I suppose it doesn't help that this story makes me want to rob banks for a living. It's just has a luring aspect to it. Screw the money, I want to see if I can get past the toughest security. It's like a game, a fun, devious game with a nice bonus at the end. Albeit a ridiculous ideal, it's nice to wonder a bit. This is a great story.

Man, it seems that King of Keys fellow was the only smart one of the bunch. And if I was stuck in prison for ten years, I'd be able to work out a believable story akin to what Notarbartolo said.

(Take the time to read the full story. It's more than worth it. And I think it would make a great movie.)

Man, this story is so clichéd.

There was this dude, once, who stole some shit, then at his trial, hopped out the second story building window of the courtroom into a car with a mattress on it, and drove off, and was never heard from again. I saw him on A&E.

Ain't got nothin' on Pablo Escobar. But hey, running a strictly regulated business with high barriers to entry and extreme personal risk, Escobar's compensation seems appropriate.

I find it interesting that such a well-designed safe fell so easily. It seems to be primarily a human failure - the camera above the safe should have been noticed, as these things should have been inspected for. Also, the decision not to light the safe at night was a very poor one.
