lol Lloyd. I love the intricate details these theives go through just to screw it up. Of I beleive these are the only crimes that get repoted. You never hear the details of the one who got away.
Wow, I can't believe after all that work and years of planning on the first story, they are dumb enough not to dispose of the evidence properly!
As for the rest, it seems like brute force, large numbers of people involved, and having the ego to spend what you stole on extravagant stuff are always a surefire way to screw things up. I prefer smart heisters. :P
If you are interested in the 2003 Antwerp diamond heist, a book on the subject is coming out in February called "Flawless: Inside the World's Largest Diamond Heist." FlawlessBook
Very interesting stories. Small correction from the THE SECURITAS DEPOT story - In total, investigators have arrested about 30 people in connection with the crime, including drivers, *face* police, a car dealer, a salesman, a roofer, and a hairdresser named Kim Shackleton. Probibly should be *fake*.
