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

I remember seeing a story like this in the 80's. I believe it happened in L.A. as well.
Some guys got access to the sewers. From underneath in the sewer, they got some big power tools and drilled their way up through the concrete floor of a large bank vault and stole millions. It had to be a big arse diamond tipped drill because it was one big 3 foot hole in the floor.
Cops believe the tools used had to be very specialized and something only a construction contractor would have access to. They ran down all leads they could from the construction angle and came up blank. They believe each man prolly had a big backpack, filled it with cash, then each man drove a 4 wheeler out to the street where a car picked them up. They each left their 4 wheeler near the sewer entrance and didn't even try to hide or take them with them. Cops could not trace the 4 wheelers.
From what I remember they were never caught.

Jokes on them. Can't hardly spend cash anymore.
So I take it you've never been to Mexico, Central America or South America?
That $30 million in cash will be washed clean and dissipated like vapor from Juarez to Buenos Aires by Memorial Day. It's probably already across the border.

That’s what I’m thinking.. I mean, normally we would call this a “bank”:

Maybe it's for all the cannabis operations that have to deal in cash because of federal laws?

Some imagination here, but for sheer genius, check out the bank robbery in Buenos Aires some years back. In through the door, announced it was a stick up moved everyone into one room upstairs in the bank . Then they had dug a tunnel from the storm drain had another crew member come up and steal all the safety deposit boxes. Then they escaped through the tunnel. Cops had no idea for hours how they got out as the tunnel was covered up by a big file cabinet.
That's creative genius....plus they used toy guns.

Among the largest?
They've had bigger?

I wonder if they found a few traceless tricked out Mini Coopers nearby.

This one feels more like Den of Thieves than Oceans 11.
Wonder who delivered the Chinese food?

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.

Didn't Obama and Biden steal like 7 billion in cash from the American people and give it to Iran?

More than likely this is a cash storage for weed dispensaries. Banks aren't taking transactions for weed yet so all of these places are cash only. Im surprised its taken this long to hit one.

broke through the roof of the facility to gain access to the vault. But it is unclear how they avoided the alarm system.

Mystery surrounds the break-in.

Government did the job.
To show all of us “why cash is bad” and they can introduce American crypto which is modified based on social credit scores.
