opening securicor money boxes

somewhere in a lock up in brixton a few urbanites are staring at a money box and their pathetic tools and wondering how to get liquid nitrogen.

Just ask your nearest university with a chemistry department. I get a few litres now and then to make instant icecream for our kids science show.

What dye do they use? Crystal violet maybe, thats a bugger to get off.
 
What about the GPS tracking device though?
Would liquid nitrogen bugger that?

Otherwise you'd need some kind of scrambling device at the scene. Or the cops would be straight to the door of the chem lab/urban science park.

Doubtful the chip would work at that temp and the battery would freeze and stop working also.

Use a separate location to freeze and open the box.

Easy peasy...

It'll just be a GPS receiver with an RF transmitter, periodically sending out it's location. All you need to do is build a Faraday cage - just line the "opening" room with tin foil, connect up a few batteries, then those pesky RF signals ain't going nowhere.

Obviously you'd need to surround it by a smaller version to move it to the opening location - that could just be a suitcase lined with tin foil.

:cool:

Freeze it in transit. Empty the box and chuck it out the back of the vehicle.
Good plan.

So what to do:
Find a van, get a reasonably decent GPS disruptor, drive smartly away from the scene. Doing so fill the back with Liquid Nitrogen to disrupt individual tracking devices in each box. Dump the securicor van, transfer contents to the standard (and essential) white transit, take to the urban lock up, get laptop to use his chamber to open them, then donate half the proceeds to the server fund, stick the other half behind the bar...
 
If you've used liquid nitrogen on the boxes you wouldn't need to uses a hyperbaric chamber to open the box as the temp of the nitrogen will have rendered the propellant inert as well.
 
Trying to cover all angles here. If the dye is a powder that reacts with o2 then we need to seal the boxes in something to prevent contact with air. When we get it to the chamber, drop the pressure and investigate. N stops the GPS, even after the van is ditched, and also covers against the possibility of a liquid dye.

Question is whether there is anyway of using the chamber without a robot.
 
Even if the dye is a powder it still needs to be expelled from it's container to cover the notes. The liquid nitrogen should disable the propellant.
 
What about any explosive charge? I suppose that that would go too. (thinks about it) okid nitrogien to fill the truck, then another supercooled truck to take it to the lock up.

You would still need to open it in close to 0 Kelvin temperatures though. Unless you knew what the composition of the powder/dye was
 
Explosive charge would probably need a powered detonator circuit so it can be disabled by the appropriate people.

Battery would be disabled by the liquid nitrogen.

You want to chill the damn thing to almost absolute zero......:eek:

I think you'll find the money, and pretty much everything else, would just disintegrate......:eek:
 
Bollocks. meant to say kelvin. not 0 kelvin. its this having a glass of wine whilst planning lessons. :o

:) I went for the more complicated in my head - I was thinking along the lines of, a big lead lined lorry, drive van into lorry,, drive far away, then you'll have plenty of time to do the things that need doing,
but your idea is easy peasy:cool: - thats how the shoplifters get there gear passed the alarms innit? - with out the need for batteries and stuff

Oh for fucks sake. Guess what the top google result is for Securicor Dye :rolleyes:

Priceless :D

I want the T-shirt and I want it now. :cool:

This is also the method used to fool shop security alarms when shoplifting - a bag lined with tin foil. You can however get nicked for going equipped if caught with a tin foil lined bag.

Vans by their very nature are metal boxes specially if they have no windows in them. ;)

They're hardly sealed metal boxes though, are they?

RF signals are omnidirectional, they'll happily find even the tiniest gap. Besides which, a truly effect Faraday cage needs to be have a charge passed through it.

Not hard to make a van sealed. If not already present weld a plate behind the drivers compartment. Make sure the sides of the van are welded to the floor and roof. Spray conductive silver or nickel paint on the rubber door seals so when the doors are shut the paint completes the circuit.

Not sure that a faraday cage does need a charge passing through it. :confused:

I'm awaiting detective boy's contribution to this thread with baited breath...
I don't do science and nature questions (or arts!) ... :D

Haven't scanned past here (the thread has been mentioned on the Dirty Bomb Comspiracy thread so I came for a look) ...

... but you've got to work out how to stop the box exploding when it goes beyond a few yards from the person / vehicle / building based other transmitter first ...

(This brings back memories of: (a) armed robbers in a mini screaming down the Uxbridge Road with orange smoke pouring out of the windows (on council CCTV) ... (b) armed robbers being chased by us (our ambush was a bit of a fuck up) when the box exploded on them and they put their car into a lamppost .... and (c) armed robbers sitting round a pile of orange money, in an orange bedroom in an orange flat high up a Swiss Cottage tower block, looking like they'd just been Tango'ed whe we burst in ...)
