Yah, that was pretty good plan.
But the biggest bank heist was back just after WW2, i think it was something like 150million.

Seems so unreal, very lock-stock and 2 smoking barrels/Snatch like.

I bet Guy Ritchie is already writing a script.

Wasnt that the bank in Boston I believe, where the guys drilled a tunnel from a cave near by to the bank's vault and then took every think and had a fancy dinner in there.

And then on the walls they spray pained something like "Without Violence" or something along those lines.

Yeah, but it wasn't in boston, it was in France somewhere. The quote translated out to something like
"Without Violence, Without Weapons, Without Malice"
Pretty cool story.

They actually caught the mastermind behind the whole thing TWICE, but he managed to escape both times.
