resoucful chaps indeed....

I must admit to a sort of grudging admiration towards people who can nick £25 million without hurting anyone.

I know it's wrong but part of me can't help thinking 'fair play guys, that was a £uckin' plan.'

[aldi]

It's mucho spondooliks that's for sure, even split umpteen ways! Enough to keep them in paid ladyboys for life?

A good old fashioned gangster robbery! It beats terrorism, drug dealing, ID theft, people traficking, etc.

I hope that they said "yoink" in a Bart Simpson stylee
How much will Zonda do for cash. I could do with a REALLY flash pair of rollerskates.

I'll wager my house that the gang will have had connections inside said company.

Not hurting anyone??....

I expect the poor victims who were tied up at gunpoint will beg to differ, probably the trauma will stay with them all their lives.........

Ok, I'll take that bet...what have i got to lose?

I know this is sort of bad, but whenever I read about these sort of crimes (where noone gets hurt) I always feel sort of pleased that the robbers got away with it... That they can plan and execute such an operation successfully. Not sure why this is. The millenium dome diamond raid thing was similar (even though they got caught), I'd sort of liked them to get away (or at least for there to be a speedboat chase on the thames).

Know what you mean - there's something "funny" about the authorities being outwitted! Similarly, when someone breaks out of jail using a "cunning plan" (Shawshank Redemptionish)!

They were working for a security firm. Goes with the territory.

How long before someone pipes up with the ole chestnut 'that money will now be diverted into terrorism operations'

Stiff upper lip, old boy.

Accepting that all the details probably havent been made public it seems strange to me that one employee could have access - one would think at least keys/codes from 2 people would be required to access the dosh

In December 2004 a £26.4m raid at the Northern Bank's Belfast headquarters became the biggest cash heist in UK history.

Bet they just wanted to beat that record

[MGBGT]

Good luck to 'em.

What bugs me is, in the event they accidentally get caught, they will get about 30 years each for not hurting anyone except a few money-grubbers, but the scrote that killed the toddler, uninsured, in a nicked car gets 12 weeks.

Justice it ain't
