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.
