Biggest disappointment from working in a bank was the lack of money that was actually in the vault. You'd open this massive vault door, and then open a double locked part of the vault, only to see like 3 or 4 small piles of $20s and $100s.

That sounds a lot like stories my Brazilian friend tells me. He says that gangs will kidnap a tourist, take their money and then force them to take out their daily limit at an ATM (like $500) and then keep them overnight so they can take it out again in the morning and then let them go.
It seems brilliant because the dollars are so low and the police seem fairly indifferent.
Those Brazilians!
