Inside Story of a Diamond Heist

[Peregrine]

Wired.com has this article about a huge diamond heist in Amsterdam a few years ago - really all I can think of is how like a movie it all seems - an off-site recreation of the vault, elaborate countermeasures to disable sensors, etc. Definitely an interesting read.

Fun read.

And I'm betting on the insurance scam bit being true.

great read. sure sounds like an insurance scam. amazing they managed to bust in. just goes to show that nothing is 100% secure

I'm still trying to figure out how they could fool the security cams by putting plastic bags over them. They aren't monitored at night? They aren't infrared or something so that they "see" when the lights are out? This smells of having the guards on duty that night paid off, either by the thieves or the scammers.
