Thieves in L.A. just pulled off an Ocean’s 11 type heist

In one of the largest cash heists in Los Angeles history, thieves made off with as much as $30 million in an Easter Sunday burglary at a San Fernando Valley money storage facility, an L.A. police official revealed Wednesday.
The burglary occurred Sunday night at an unnamed facility in Sylmar where cash from businesses across the region is handled and stored, according to L.A. Police Department Cmdr. Elaine Morales.
The burglars were able to breach the building as well as the safe where the money was stored, Morales said. Law enforcement sources said the break-in was among the largest burglaries in city history when it comes to cash, and the total surpassed any armored-car heist in the city as well.
Mystery surrounds the break-in.
Sources familiar with the investigation said a burglary crew broke through the roof of the facility to gain access to the vault. But it is unclear how they avoided the alarm system.
In addition, viewing the safe from the outside, it showed no signs of a break-in. The operators of the business, whom police did not identify, did not discover the massive theft until they opened the vault on Monday.

Interesting that the OP uses the comparison to Oceans 11. In both the old and new versions, the audience was obviously supposed to side with the robbers who were portrayed as “the good guys”.
So how are we supposed to feel about this???

I, in no way, support thievery, burglary, or robbery, but can be impressed with the mechanics and tactical prowess when a heist is pulled off without violence.

Among the largest? How often is this city plagued with 30 million dollar heists?

Be on the lookout for fur coats and pink Cadillacs

We live in a largely cashless society, but there is a mysterious “facility” where businesses send their proceeds? They don’t put it in a safe, or send it to a bank, or in the owner’s pocket.
This facility has to be an armored car depot. They probably had more money than usual because of a long Easter weekend.

Maybe a spot where dispensaries store their cash? No idea

An employee of the cash storage business will probably go missing in a few days.

Haven't seen the reboot, but in the original, crime still didn't pay even though they were the "good guys."

Jokes on them. Can't hardly spend cash anymore.
