    1. The crazy detail about this is they did not find out for 3 days. Because of a malfunction of the fire detectors thr firemen discovered the hole.

      They robbed 95% of the 3200 lockers, robbing estimated 30 Million Euro.

      Fun Fact: the contracts most of the customers signed only cover 10k Euro per locker for damages through theft.

    2. You would think that would create a lot of noise. All you need are noise detectors to trigger alarms to notify security.

      So, you can drill a big ass hole in the German capital, next to a bank, without anyone noticing ?

      Sorry I wondered how you could drag houses and blocks of flats through a hole
      Need to read to the end

    5. Anyone know what they use to drill that hole? I’ve seen plenty of hole saws, but never a 30″ diameter one.

      Did they drill in the approved hours?
      I’m sure they did, as there were no neighbor complaints.
      Also if they they started a hole drilling business, they d do quite well, its very well made.

      This must of taken a whole night. The wall 2 giant drill holes and emptying almost 3000 lockers that’s a huge process. Seems like they knew they had plenty of time idk that’s crazy

    8. This gives me hope that physical robberies can still work out…here I was thinking things are too secure now and the best way is to hack the banks.

    9. I bet the value is well over $30 million. That is just the insurance payout (3000 lockers x 10,000 insurance). I bet there were a lot of jewels and maybe artwork in a lot of those lockers. I also bet some of them just had standard paperwork like wills and deeds that can be replaced. Those thieves probably had an idea of what they were after.

      This is almost as funny as the one time thieves tried to shoot the bank vault open with an anti-tank rifle suppressed by a car muffler. Their first attempt in Montreal failed but their second attempt in the US succeeded.

    11. Hollywood movies have not prepared us to what an actual vault looks like! I’ve seen cheese cave that look more secure than this!

    12. Aaaaand the best part, the safe compartments were only insured for 10k each, a lot of people are horribly fucked…
