Like ants, we dig from the neighbour's cellar and rob your banks

Even with all the technology and sophistication we have today, desperation can still drive people to revert back to their most primal instincts.

On the 27thth of March, a gang of robbers dug and robbed a Parisian bank.
Strange enough, this heist shows similarities to the Spaggiari Affair, dubbed the heist of the century, masterminded by Albert Spaggiari in Nice more than 30 years ago.

It’s quite ironic how the media now portrays “the new age baddies” to be spies (or ninjas… or evil geniuses) with high-tech gear and are mostly well-dressed. But in reality, none of these people really exist.
It goes to show that all you really need to pull off a burglary is a good plan, a few days of leave from your day job and a good shovel.

Because when you rock it old school, you get places. And in this place, you find yourself in a bank: gagging the guard and breaking into the master vault.
