Wild story out of Los Angeles. Thieves broke into a Garda armored car facility in Sylmar, where a lot of the cash from businesses all over the region is stored, and made off with as much as $30 million in cash — without a trace.
The thieves broke in through the roof on Easter Sunday and did not set off any alarms. Seems the systems were either disabled or rerouted. The one alarm they did trip didn't go through to the local cops.

In one of L.A.'s largest cash heists, burglars steal as much as $30 million in elaborate operation

Thanks for sharing ... a script is already under way (yes, I continue to spell it that way :))
 
One of em will lead coppers to the trail.

Untraceable cash, the best thing in the world.

The key to remaining free will be not spending it like some drunken sailors. Keep living pretty much your same lifestyle and if everyone keeps their mouths shut it will never be solved. Which, of course, is virtually impossible.

Elaborate operation you say…

Reminiscent of a robbery in the suburb of Enfield, CT a few years ago.

The Great Connecticut Pharma Heist
 
They were pitching a perfect game till it got broken up in the 9th.

 
One of the many things one learns from Burn Notice: the roof is the weakest point of entry into a building.
 
Just the basic logistics of this heist seem mind-boggling. You might be able to sneak into a facility like that with the right truck and uniforms. But once you're in there you can't exactly cut through the roof with a hacksaw or put $30 million in cash in your pockets and sneak out. And it wasn't a strong-arm robbery. You need trucks, equipment and time. And that's all before you start dealing with alarms, surveillance systems, and plain old human observation.
If they didn't have someone on the inside, how did no one notice these guys doing what amounts to a major construction job in the middle of the night?
