Hatton Garden Robbery

[Lady Whistledown]

Difficult to pull off a job on that scale without a few more people than you'd want to finding out. Also more difficult to palm off such a large quantity of goodies without raising eyebrows in the local community, so I'm not particularly surprised that the rozzers appear to have recovered a lot of it.

I bet half the old slaaaaaaaaags in London were queuing to grass 'em up

I'm gobsmacked there might have been a dozen involved. Seems a bit dodgy to me, bound to be at least one idiot in that big a team. Grassed up seems odds on to me.

I guess the bank will be seeking a refund from their alarm monitoring provider..

Good stuff, seeing news about some get nicked- v though sad in a way, that a 74 year old feels the need to steal..

I wonder if they got the idea from a movie called 'The Bank Job' starring Jason Statham?

Martine offers Terry a lead on a foolproof bank hit on London's Baker Street. She targets a roomful of safe deposit boxes worth millions in cash and jewelry. But Terry and his crew don't realize the boxes also contain a treasure trove of dirty secrets - secrets that will thrust them into a deadly web of corruption and illicit scandal.

Which was based on a actual robbery in the early 70's
