Watching the movie at the moment.

It woke up a question.
Do we have successful heists like what we can see in the movie in real life?

The Hatton Garden heist was an audacious robbery in 2015 where a bunch of old dudes made off with £14m in jewellery.

It was about that time that I realized the pawn shop owner was actually a gigantic lizard from the paleolithic era. And I said, hell no I ain't gonna sell you this jewelry for no $3.50. god damn loch ness monster.

Best I can do is $200. It’s going to sit here for a while, waiting for the right seller…

This movie was based on it. I liked it quite a bit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_Thieves_(2018_film)
