Hatton Garden Safety Deposit Robbery

[Ted Striker]

Probably one of those employees who likes the flexibility of a Zero Hours contract.
Did anyone get hurt?
I am finding it all quite amusing.

Hopefully he's in a union. Would love to hear how that call goes

 

[The Boy]

and his former employers might be thinking of paying a wage high enough to make the replacement give a shit

Don't be silly.

I admire your optimism though.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Or a heist or a raid, both of which sound a bit more exciting than a plain old burglary.

A right tasty score, or a ring flash caper

 

[hash tag]

Sounds the perfect caper for a film.

Inside job, according to the news just now

Crooks robbing crooks, meh.

I read somewhere that the owners of the Hatton Garden Safety Deposit Company couldn't be located because they were in Sudan, which seems a bit unusual.

The rich cunts need to consider how much they're paying the security guard tasked with guarding their precious stones. It's tough fucking shit if he was watching YouTube whilst their gems were being lifted if they were happy for him to survive on subsistence wedge.

Pretty much has to be if there's no sign of forced entry of any kind (as reported on news around 5 as I was coming out of work).

 

[Citizen66]

They've found someone to hang. I hope the gems are gone for good.

Good advertising for Hilti DD350 Diamond coring tool,cuts holes up to 500mm diameter in concrete,a snip at £3500.

Maybe a good time to sell my Hatton Garden trader token. From the Thames, dated around 17th century.

 

[Manter]

That is v cool

 

[hash tag]

I gather it was timed perfectly to coincide with the underground fire in holborn...hmmm

 

[Citizen66]

So North Korea are involved too.

 

[Manter]

According to the Torrygraph, who appear to have lost the plot

It was in the Independent and Standard too, Yes, probably bollocks but it will look great when the film comes out.

Good tools pay for themselves.

 

[not-bono-ever]

£2M estimated - Hmmmm- ? there will be a multiplier of items in the SD boxes that cannot ever be declared or made public by the victims

good luck with tracking down the manager in Sudan ....

This is moving from a Jason Statham B-movie to a Simon Pegg comedy farce.

Police lying to the public... again.

The Met Police said they received a call on Friday 3 April at 00:21 BST

Previously, Scotland Yard said they were alerted to the burglary on Tuesday

Funniest bit of news I've heard in fucking ages

Oops!

 

[brogdale]

Oops!

Policy apparently. 3 false alarms in 12 months..and they won't even bother putting down their pasties to take a peek! Imagine if the villains knew that...

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Oops!

What's that alarm? Probably nothing....

 

[skyscraper101]

What I can't believe is that they didn't just have a 24/7 camera pointed at the vaults linked up to cloud based security system to archive the video and an offsite private security team, who would then call the police personally to make sure its seen to.

Even modern home security set-ups have that these days. And this place had hundreds of thousands of peoples possessions down there

They were seemingly just relying on...an alarm, a security bloke paid so little he couldn't even be arsed to check the alarm out, and a robotic call in to the cops.

:thumbs :

Surely it was a burglary not a robbery

pedantry alive & well etc

Robbery has a max sentence of life, theft doesn't. Small but massive difference.
