I wonder how much it will cost the shareholders.
As much as one, maybe two dollars?
[QUOTE=MrDestroyer;47768068]Heists are so cool to me. I always hope the people who pull them off never get caught, so it adds another layer of mystery to it. The Pink Panthers (The heisters not the movies) are pretty awesome cause they haven't been caught.[/QUOTE]
You must read about the Rio heist a couple of years ago here in Argentina.
The robbers got into the bank, threatened and tied everyone up, got away with millions of pesos through a secret tunnel which during the whole heist nobody noticed and fled into uruguay.
The best thing about it? They were using fake guns all the time and only the boss and another member if I'm not mistaken haven't been caught.

My father is a lawyer and he had once a client who was working at the Bundesdruckerei (Where you print money in Germany) and he got a great idea to steal a bag of very old moldy and dirty banknotes that were to be incinerated not to be in circulation anymore and he did take a bag, threw it over a wall and after work he took it home. Few days later he came back to his workplace drunk with the sack and said ''sorry yo, this was silly'' or something equally dumb and now he serves jailtime :L

Hatton Garden is the lock up used by the majority of the jeweler community in London, some of the boxes weren't insured because the owners assumed that the'd be safe in one of the most secure depositories in the country. A lot of jewelers could go bust because of their losses.
So yeah.

Except Swat games are mostly about going after rapists in their dungeons and whatnot.
But I get your point.

If I was a millionaire I'd kidnap people just for the fun of it. I'd take them to like a private resort at a beach or in the mountains and give them 2 weeks vacation to see if the police would ever find evidence that it was me that did it. After those two weeks I'd send the person back home with like $5000 for their trouble.

Does anyone know where can we still buy SWAT 4?
Like, an online copy.
Back in November there was a "smash and grab" jewellery raid on the Shopping centre near where I live, with the thieves making off with around 500K worth.
The last of the members involved just got sentenced for it.

Obviously they're still criminals in the end, and I get that they may have done a shitty thing, but I can't help but feel some respect for the amount of effort and planning it took for them to pull it off. More so if they hadn't been caught.

Jewelry stores are a sign that people have money to spend, that's about it. They don't hold any other value because the wears being shown aren't necessity nor actually valuable when you look at the rarity of said materials.
[QUOTE=poppyman;47776757]Do you feel the same level of respect for premeditated murder?[/QUOTE]
Of course not, it's not as easy to pretend murder has no victims.

Mr Marchant told the broadcaster: “These aren't extremely wealthy people, for a lot of them their livelihoods have gone. All of us might be forgiven for thinking how audacious, how clever, but what (the gang has) done is ruin the lives of many people within the Hatton Garden jewellery quarter.[/QUOTE]
Small businesses being financially ruined by theft doesn't effect the economy? What about the people they employ? What about their livelihood?
I suppose you imagined a filthy rich and greedy fat-cat having his private jewels stolen and thought that was a pretty grand deed.

Yeah, you keep trying on to figure out a way to make being okay with people being victimized because "heisters omg so cool just like George Clooeny" not sound awful. I suggest not saying things like "They can just find new jobs!" and "At least the economy is fine" that sound like Republican talking points.
actually way over-reacting to crimes that people are already being punished for is sort of a republican talking point
