    Safe cracking - 30's style

    Found these old photos of various local heists. Thought I'd scan a few and post them. Don't know if it was a robbery spree, or if they ever caught the bad guys.
    Might have to do a little research and start looking for caches.

    Neat pictures. And how did the art of fingerprinting begin? By the police actually dusting the front doors of safes for earprints, and matching them to the arrested individuals. Honest.
