About $1 million of the stolen money has not been found.

Elaborate Brink’s heist kind of worked

A hole the three burglars had burned into a vault door was almost complete, nearly big enough for Sean D. Murphy to wiggle through.

On the other side were millions of dollars in cash awaiting transfer at the Brink’s warehouse in South Linden. After months of planning, it was within reach, and Murphy, a veteran criminal from Massachusetts, couldn’t wait to get his hands on it.

Suddenly, smoke billowed from the hole. Their cutting torch had set the cash on fire. The burglars grabbed extinguishers and sprayed into the hole. Smoke filled the air as they snaked a hose through the opening and turned on the water.

Robert Doucette, the least-experienced of the three, began vomiting in a bucket. Murphy, the mastermind, was frantic. His carefully constructed plan to get rich was about to go up in flames.

Here in Brisbane, we also had a similar incident when burglars were able to break in a huge estate owned by a known wealthy couple who made their first millions thru ownership of self storage facilities, trucking and warehousing. The burglars successfully disabled the security systems and located some storage or safe of the family’s valuables. However, they did not realize that when they disabled the security systems, it tripped and caught some fire. Smoke was coming out of the estate and neighbors called the local fire station. The burglars were arrested within the compound minutes after the fire fighters came and the police were summoned.
 

Interesting show on TRU channel, Tuesday @ 2am. "The Safecrackers", legal safecracking as a business.

Watched one episode, it was interesting.

Dish network ch. 242.
