Never understood why but I am always pleased to hear of someone pulling off a big 'heist'

Perhaps its just too many bank job films as a kid...

And the second line of the joke is...?

[birdbrain]

I thought it was a joke to start with as well!

I guess that the yanks aren't being as generous with the IRA fund raising nowadays.

If they get away with it, well done to them. The bank probably makes that amount in charges to the customers anyway.

Sorry to offend, but i am pi$$ed off with my bank ot the moment for crappy charges

It is understood two employees of the bank and their families were held captive before the robbery took place.

I'm sure they share your pleasure in hearing of this violent criminal activity.

So who do you think pays when a bank is robbed?

I'm sure there are plenty of us on here that if we put our heads together and pulled off a bank job would deserve the money for having been repeatedly sh*t on by institutions, the government, and so on.

However, I think it's probably same to say that it won't have been a good, moral citizen that's just "snapped" and decided to do one big crime before going back to being a decent (albeit more affluent) member of society. It'll be some pikey scrotes that have built up to this through ripping off local businesses, mugging old ladies, and stealing our PaJs.

Not good news at all - given that it'll be used to fund one or all of : Drug dealing Racketeering Extortion Terrorism

Why would anyone FINANCE the above activities with 30 mill? They are a way to MAKE money (aside from Terrorism) not something recreational to do when your rich!

As you have pointed this out when it was obviously said in semi humour.

I have felt that rush that the robbers are feeling now!

It is immense, no feeling like it, it is amazing, the adrenaline!


Only difference being my raid involved Mojos from the corner shop, aged 7!

Yep, that's why we need ID cards. They would have had to show them to get into the bank and then we'd have known who they were......
