This is not a retirement plan that we advocate!
London, 2015: “The police and public gasped at the audacity of the Great Hatton Garden heist of 2015, where millions in cash and jewels were taken from an underground vault in London’s diamond district. . . . Experts insisted that the heist was the work of a foreign team of navy-SEAL-like professionals, likely from the infamous Pink Panthers, a Serbian gang of master diamond thieves. Retired Scotland Yard detective Barry Phillips believed it was the work of a highly technical team, assembled by a so-called “Draftsman”—who financed the heist and assembled the players, probably from the U.K. . . . [But] the Hatton Garden heist, it turned out, had been the work of this ragtag group of superannuated criminals representing the last of ‘traditional British villainy’ . . . Most were in their 60s and 70s—more Lavender Hill Mob than James Bond. . . Yet they had defied age, physical infirmities, burglar alarms, and even Scotland Yard to power their way through walls of concrete and solid steel and haul away a prize now estimated at more than $20 million—at least $15 million of which is still missing.”
