    I don't see what was so great about it. It's hardly Ocean's 11.

    Even so, it's an audacious plan which came through for them.

    At a basic level, it's a very pleasurable execution of a mad idea - how many people could pull off digging a tunnel, a-la POW camp escape, into a bank, then get away with $68M? :)

    I thought it was one of the craziest things i herd about last week and i loved it. Showed determination and a bit of excentricity. All they had to do was to apply those traits to somthing a bit more legal. But hell! when a bank dosent secure their vaults then i suppose if you dig it, they will steal :)

    EDIT:: nice to see that CNN mentioned Ronnie Biggs :rock:

    Oceans 11 was fictional.

    You'll be saying there's no spy like James Bond next.

    I didn't think they still did bank-robbery's. I thought it was all about money transport these days, lol.

    Pretty cool though.
