[QUOTE="calcol, post: 24497848, member: 77639"]Really good chance these guys will be caught: 1. Based on weight of loot, had to be multiple thieves involved. At least one will run his mouth about it, or greed will cause them to try to cash their share early. 2. As others noted, had to be some heavy equipment involved. If any was rented or borrowed, that may lead to the bad guys. 3. Most Walmarts have video cams mounted high that monitor the entire outside area. 4. As others noted, cashing the dimes at face value will be a give away unless done a little at a time over a span of years. The thieves probably don’t have that much patience. The thieves obviously did some real planning for carrying out the heist but remains to be seen if they will clever about cashing in on the loot. And, geez, I expected better security by the Mint and its haulers. At a minimum: 1. two drivers and at least one to stay with the truck at all times. 2. alarm or video system for the trailer doors. Lucky the thieves didn’t start the semi or detach the trailer and drive off with the whole load. Cal[/QUOTE]
