Anyone else been following this story in the news?
I'm loving it. This is a proper good old fashioned heist.
40 million worth of stuff nicked, no-one physically injured (the bird that was taken hostage briefly is undoubtedly a bit shaken) the goods transported across london over a series of getaway vehicles, and they reckon the guys that did it have already left the country.
If you're going to commit a crime, this is the way to do it.

[img]Two smartly dressed armed robbers stole jewellery worth almost £40m from a Mayfair jewellers in what is believed to be the biggest gem heist in British history, it emerged today.
Posing as clients, the besuited criminals made their way past a security guard at Graff jewellers in London's West End last Thursday. Once inside the prestigious New Bond Street shop they pulled out handguns, threatened staff and grabbed luxury rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches.
CCTV footage released today by Scotland Yard shows the duo leaving the jewellers. They fired two warning shots into the ground before escaping in a series of vehicles across Soho. [/img]
Also, I'd always considered this idea if i was ever going to be a master criminal - Get a silicone mask indistinguishable from a real face to hide your identity.
