This will definitely get made into a movie. https://www.latimes.com/california/...n-jewels-in-brinks-heist-5-freeway-truck-stop
A big rig Brinks truck carrying over $100 million in gem show cargo with only two guys in the cab as guards......taking a break at a truck stop at 2 AM......and both of them leave the truck unsupervised...... RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT. Nothing suspicious there, move along.....move along.
We'll know who was involved when the bodies start showing up. If no bodies appear it was the Russians.
Hard to believe the same person/people who would have the intelligence/aptitude/whatever to plan this would think "oh right, we'll just bribe the guards and have them pretend to randomly be giving each other reacharounds" and that the guards wouldn't eventually crack and rat them all out. I'll play contrarian and say the guards aren't in on it.
Do they let the guards know what they are hauling? 10 mill in gold would take a long time to liquidate and would be roughly 14 bars worth at current market. Perhaps jewish lightning?
thats because it came from guards who’ve been on that route but weren’t working it that day. I’m sure they’ll turn up dead.
The guards gave the inside info anyone higher and it could be traced depending on the intelligence needed to pull it off. it’s always a possibility, but being slowly gathered by guards over time could be covered up by the perpetrators fairly easily with a gun and a shovel, or a hooker and a syringe. Management types would think too highly of their position in the scheme and become a liability. You’d have to take out your source in management right away which would put a bigger lens on you. With lower level employees there’s a bigger pool of possible suspects who were in on it. By process of elimination alone that gives you a decent buffer to get your affairs in order. Just thinking as a former criminal.
Generational experience. My step dad was a gang member and ran a very successful pcp manufacturing and distributing business in LA back in the late 70’s early 80’s. I remember helping him build secret compartments in bike frames for the hells angels and in trucks for the Mexican mafia as a child. Had no clue what I was really doing. Feds always watching us… etc. eventually I caught on, then went into business for myself right after graduating high school. He became a straight shooter sometime before my teens though. Still a drug addict but not a criminal. I think he saw where I was going and wanted to set a better example. Didn’t take very well until recently. my biological father was on seal team 3.
Nice write up, but most criminals are not that smart.blue collar or white, there on drugs gambling ect.
I just watched this movie last night. Had Jason Statham and Clint Eastwood’s kid in it. Two thumbs up
You have one helluva life story so far. I've always admired your willingness to own it without hesitation or fear of how anyone would respond to it.
The way they got past the lock,and removed the stuff in a short amount of time, probably a former employee.
