Yeah, it might be an idea to use fakes from now on.

On last night's news it said the estimated value of the jewels had double.
I bet that was at exactly the time they got the insurance paperwork out.

They forgot about those gems at the back of the safe. :)

I think it might be time to look into the insurance companies.

This looks like two men, one using the gun and grenade, and the other picking safes. Too very different modus operandi.

Where are they getting the exact locations though?

Well there are a lot of rich suckers there so will be loads of thieves in the area. With a lot of rich people in the area it does attract criminals. The fact that some safes were cracked and others not could mean that there could be a number of safe crackers in the area. Most hotels have the same safe so if you can crack one you could crack any. Different chains will have different safes so that could be the reason for some of the failures.
