The lack of security at the banks in those days was crazy ...no wonder there were so many bank jobs in the 70s and 80s

Funny how the robbers that actually get away with robbery are the actual banks themselves, shame those that rob from the banks never get away with it

This story was made into a quirky 1980 film called 'A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square' starring Richard Jordan and David Niven.

There was little security in the 1960s & 1970s. In 1961, as a student vacation job, I worked at a global security firm in London, without ID or background check, with the driver of a cash security van. I often walked into the central operations control room and had access to information on all ongoing activities. Also, my driver and I delivered wages cash to numerous locations within the London Docks, freely passing all security barriers. Therefore the driver was the centre of a network collecting and delivering goods, stolen from ship cargos, throughout the docks, on behalf of the dock workers. <br> <br>Some years later, in an east London pub, I fell into conversation with two members of the Kray gang. When they heard of my experience and knowledge of the security firm, they asked me if I would co-operate with them by re-applying to the firm. I declined politely and bought them a drink.

Millions in the vault, and keys are so carelessly left on the receptionist table 😳😱 And the Police are just as silly

The biggest global criminal organisation that commits fraud on a daily basis gets robbed and the authorities jump to their defence. Quite ironic and laughable if you stop to think about it.
