Watching the movie at the moment.

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.

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