Title: The all new Perfect Crime thread
Post by: Nick on February 23, 2013, 03:00:33 PM
Admit it, we've all thought about it  eveilgrin:

Conversation in the real pub today turned to this subject. One chap had some fantasy about a gang of Father Christmases (at Christmas) doing a bank job and then splitting up into various department stores  ::)

ANother had an idea about a gang dressed as Plod foiling a fake bank robbery and seizing the money as evidence  rubschin:

Mine involves a murder of a gentleman in Putney and is flawless apart from some technical problems. Armed with a Phaser Gun and a Star Trek stylee Transporter I could beam from anywhere to Putney, vaporise the chappy, and beam back to, say, um, Nottingham, in the blink of an eye. The Plod would be baffled  :thumbsup:

So what is your perfect crime and how would you do it?

When I first got into the security industry this was a game often used to while away the long night shifts guarding some God-forsaken hole in the ground (yes, on occasions, a literal hole in the ground)

Anyway a colleague and I once set out to plan the perfect robbery.
Firstly you need to understand the general geography of the area and town centre lay out of Milton Keynes.
MK has a number of banks and Building Societies that encircle the pedestrian shopping area which is in turn linked to major roads that lead out of the town in each direction. One can, in a "reasonably price car", access the M1 heading North or South with a choice of junctions 13, 14 or 15. Also available is easy access to the A5 again heading North or South. Both A5 and M1 have numerous exits routes to East and West. It is easy to be out of MK and speeding away on a dual carriageway in any chosen direction and you can be in North London, Birmingham, Nottingham, Derby and many other major centres within 40 minutes.
So the plan is to get a gang together of say 20 people. Divide them into pairs and at a given time hit 10 banks/bld socs at exactly the same time. Best time would be at Police shift hand-over time .... say 2pm on a Friday. Each pair having done their hold-up would drive out of MK by a pre-agreed route.

When one alarm went off in MK Central Police Station a second, third, fourth etc alarm would also "ALERT". The switchboard operator would assume a fault as it is unknown that all alarms would go off together. The police operator would revert to "testing the system" and by the time they had achieved telephone contact with all the branches concerned the gang members would be motoring on any one of ten different routes and by our estimate have at least a 15 minute start over the rozzers. First place Old Bill is going to look is among the "usual suspects" and none of the gang would be local criminals. Taking only used notes and given that local shops and stores would have paid in the weekend takings, mostly in cash, the haul would be hooooge. So long as the gang never met up again as a group and given suitable cut-outs between each pair it looked to us like a good scheme.

Given that we had some pre-knowledge of the alarm systems and police procedures (which I am not going to disclose) we reckoned this would be as foolproof as anyone could make it.

Having played out our game we forgot about it until some 6 months later this self same plan was put into operation and succeeded in Johannesburg.  eeek:

Why am I suddenly being drawn in to explain the references of the literati to the state-educated members?

Just put in a Wikipedia link and that should suffice for them.
