About the only scheming is wearing a hoodie and face cover.

Eh… not really.

Knowing what to get and being able to get it in large enough quantities is always a thing in this sort of theft. That is how the mob used to handle cargo theft at JFK, as they would have a board up at Robert’s Lounge listing what the cargos people most wanted were, as those would get a premium.


A lot of this is detailed in Wiseguy, the book that Goodfellas is adapted from.
