Hopefully, this cash can be resurrected.
In a heist of Biblical proportions, thieves pilfered about $30 million cash from a Los Angeles-area vault on Easter Sunday – and no one even noticed the empty vault until the next morning.
The burglary took place Sunday night at the GardaWorld facility in Sylmar, which handles cash for several businesses in the area, sources told Eyewitness News.
The thieves were so stealthy that the safe showed no signs of a break-in from the outside – and the operators of the business were none the wiser until they opened it on Monday, the Los Angeles Times said.
The thieves accessed the facility through the roof and managed to avoid setting off any alarms when they got into the money storage area, officials familiar with the investigation told Eyewitness News.
Footage of the facility on Wednesday showed what appeared to be a gaping hole on the side of the building with a pile of debris next to it – though it was unclear if that damage stemmed from the break-in, the outlet said.
Very few people would have known how much cash was stored at the nondescript facility, the LA Times noted.
The elaborate scheme was likely executed by a seasoned crew of burglars, sources told the paper.

Inside job if the safe was opened and not broken in to, it seems
This is my kind of crime. No one is hurt and no one is aware anything happened until the next day. However it raises an important question, why was there no guard on duty if you are sitting on $30,000,000.00 in cash?

Easter Cash Heist: Burglars Steal Millions From Money Storage Facility In Sylmar
The FBI and the Los Angeles Police Department are investigating a multi-million-dollar heist that happened at a money storage facility in the San Fernando Valley on Easter Sunday. The burglary happened at the GardaWorld facility located on the 15000 block of Roxford Street in Sylmar. LAPD is calling it one of the largest heists in LA history. A source with the FBI confirmed to NBC4 that millions of dollars were taken. An employee at GardaWorld, who asked to remain anonymous, spoke to NBC4 about the security system at the San Fernando Valley facility.“The place is pretty secure, alarm system, they check that the alarm is set up, so, just to think that they were able to go through the security system and get away with all that money, it’s a shocker,” said the employee. Images from Newschopper4 showed a damaged wall on the backside of the GardaWorld building near the corner of San Fernando Road and Roxford Street. Investigators have not confirmed if the damage is related to Sunday’s theft.
Inside job.
Venezuelan pickpockets.
Wonder if the occupant of the building next door is a red-head? And he’s been copying pages from the Encyclopedia Britannica for the past several weeks?
No shiite Sherlock!....................
The insiders who maybe hooked up with the operators should turn up dead fairly soon. If the insiders ARE the operators they shouldn’t be hard to find.
Elementary, Watson.
Inside job...
It’s a job from the inside
