Guy robs an armored car, pulling a "thomas crown", am I wrong for wanting him to get away with it?

I like the ingenuity, do you always want the bad guy caught? Any cool heists where you rooted for the bad guy?

that old thread from OOT where people were robbing big stores like you saw in the movies.

Huge teams, sophisticated procedures, never got caught, always took the safe, been doing it for a long time.

I mean yeah stealing sucks but

Best Buy can afford it
so can armored truck things(actually prolly not since US is so busto)

Best Buy crime ring.

Quote:

At a Best Buy in Tulsa, the burglars entered the store by breaching the ceiling, rappelling down to the store office and cutting a hole into it, taking care of the alarms and surveillance of the store, and then took around 50 laptops and 60-inch plasma TVs. And then they took the safe, weighing a few thousand pounds, which is evidently a trademark of this particular ring.

According to the NBC affiliate, police hope to track him down by figuring out who posted the Craigslist ad in the first place.

My guess would be that the person who devised this scheme would not post the ad from his home computer...just a hunch.

I live a half a mile from this Best Buy and I have no idea how they got away with it. It is less than 100 yards from busy highway.

Anything drug related (specifically pot) and I'll root for the criminal(s) to get away.

Tilts me whenever there is a story in the news about some huge grow op being uncovered and they ****ing destroy the plants.

That story is awesome.

I'd probably root for intelligent criminals but there are so few of them. They are romanced in Hollywood though. For example, anyone who didn't want DeNiro to get away in Heat is either a cop or heartless.

One of the biggest bank robberies in history. They keep arresting people for it but they keep getting aquitted. As of 2 days ago they just aquitted another person. They still have no significant leads.

Yeah, I root for Charles Manson because he was such a leader. Very inspirational. Charley never killed anybody.

Surely inspirational murder puts the lie to the bourgeouis lie of conformity to the laws of the stinking piggies.
