It's almost like their security has never seen any of the numerous bank heist films that used this identical manner of breakin!

And if that's a genuine photo of the safety deposit room, that kinda explains it, look more the rear stock shelves for an arts and crafts store.

I remember a Hilti Core Drill being used in a similar heist, right, or do I have the wrong tool brand?
Agree about the low level security of the 'back room'.....

It was a Hilti DD350 and it was the 'unbreakable' Hatton Garden safe deposit vault in London. They got away with $40 million. They drilled three overlapping 600mm cores through yard-thick high-tensile concrete reinforced with three separate layers of one-inch rebar, with the resulting hole being big enough to climb through. I have a DD150 - and even this 'baby' one is a beast.
