Wow, sounds like a movie, maybe they got the idea from a movie.

Whichever way, it'll probably be made into a movie!!!

That was a pretty well thought out robbery, glad no one got seriously hurt.

"No one was hurt"

Nice one lads

If I was one of the blaggers I'd give it a while and then send an anonymous donation of about 50k to the manager and his wife and hopefully they'd have the nouse to keep Schtuum about it.

Who knows, maybe it was an inside job & they're 'in' on it?

It looks rather like the £26 million one in Belfast last year had a bit of 'inside' help

First impression is that it is an inside job or ex-employee. Time will tell.

Me too; I thought these places had all kinds of silent alarms that were within reach of the employees at all times, so maybe the robbers knew exactly where they all were.

Why is it that there seems to be a romance about these heists? I love heist movies, the plots and clever ideas - and the loveably rogues that carry off the caper - ah brilliant!!

Then real life - these guys well very clever, put peoples lives in danger - it could easily have ended differently, they steal instead of earning it like the rest of us and it will end up costing us all in insurance fees either directly or indirectly! Well not us - cos we live in America - but you know what i mean.

I think people still have the image of these robbers being cockney small time crooks with unloaded sawn-off shotguns.
