How big is $30 mil and how much does it weigh?

In 20 dollar bills, it weighs about 1 and 1/2 tons. It reminds me of the 1972 Laguna Nigel job, by the Akron, Ohio gang, except this group got away with about 3 times as much.

From the article:

“ The theft comes nearly two years after as much as $100 million in jewels and other valuables were stolen from a Brink’s big rig at a Southern California truck stop. The thieves haven’t been caught.”

I don’t remember hearing about that one, either.

I read a series of Caper books last year called the Spider Heist Thrilllers, 5 books and they planned and executed very complicated heists and this is right out of one of their books.

They would be lucky if the got as much as 25 cents on the dollar for that. Still a lot of money.

"i’m guessing it would be money from drug busts"

...which will in turn jeopardize those prosecutions.

inside job, arrest everyone with any connection. We need to start prosecuting and jailing gov’t employees for not doing their job, like adequately protecting $30 Million.

There was a cable TV show where they robbed the currency from Fort Pendleton in California. This is the US currency that is sent overseas by plane to servicemen serving abroad.

In my experience, banks don’t “do” cash.

I once needed $26k to buy a trailer. They needed several days to pull that together.

When the Savings and Loans went bust everyone got ALL their money back, even amounts above the insured limit cuz Grandmas were too naive and kept all their money in one account. Of course all that money came either from taxpayers or an increased national debt.

It was a very big deal. On all the LA TV stations for weeks.

Most likely used by weed dispensaries who can’t use banks

“You don’t “store” your money in a bank. You lend it to them. It’s no longer “your” money. You become one of their creditors.

Good luck getting it back when the bank fails.”

There is something called FDIC insurance.

They have less than 1% of the money they need to make you whole in the event of major bank failures.
