Millenium Dome Diamond Heist

Did that all seem a bit batman-ish to anyone else?

I'm sure it did to those involved, until the police appeared, mob handed, and spoilt the illusion. It seemed, from what I read about it, to be cleverly planned and could easily have worked, but like all those big heists it only takes one person to be a bit stupid or careless or loose lipped and suddenly they're all a laughing stock in the morning papers.

Agree with snook, from what i read it was very cleverly planned. The people that planned it were quite experienced at this kind of (criminal) act. It was the most inexperienced member (the speed boat driver) that made a mistake.

The police found out about it and swapped the stone for a fake one

So just remember, never trust an amatuer with important business!!!

Maybe this is the slightly sadistic side in me but I think the plan was brilliant. What an idea it was!!

People with that much 'balls' should be put on a pedestal and paraded for coming up with that. You don't really hear of many big hoists any more. Not genius ones like that anyways.
