I gotta call .

First , guns are all but outlawed in the UK.  There is no way an armed gang pulled this off against such laws.

Second, I thought Europe was an Euro-based now.  How, then, are there still so many Pounds still in use?

It will be an FN P90.

But in the rerelease of it Spielberg will CG the guns out and replace them with radios.

Wow, that's pretty impressive. I don't condone crime by any means, but these guys got away with over $45M in one job without even having to hurt somebody. Not to mention that in only 2 jobs they got over $100M. These guys are all-star criminals

Yes, you are right. Apparently the entire story is made up just so you can get a sandy clam!

Those guys need to do the right thing and return the $$. If they  don't pay the tax on it they could really get into trouble. I'm sure if they return the $$ and appologize they will be only have to a couple years. What say you? I know I would if I did it.

From what I understand, banks always publicly report a higher figure than was actually stolen.

Causes dissention and distrust amongst the thieves. Oh crap, now I let the secret out!
