Chancer Makes Off With Bucket Of Gold Worth Millions Like He's Getting The Washing In

As Banksy once sprayed, we are now one nation under CCTV. This means trying to do anything slightly against 'the system' proves more than problematic for the dissenters who wanna see this country burn.

I doubt I'd be able to nab a handful of Hubba Bubba from the corner shop nowadays without having special forces kick down my flat door later that day to drag me away in cuffs.

Some punters still manage to get away with theft scot-free, though, in spite of hyper-security. Like this guy, who has a mindset straight outta the 1920s.

Doing away with all the fancy bollocks that comes with heist blueprints etc etc, this Manhattan robber simply rocks up to an opened truck and snatches an 86-pound bucket of gold worth $1.6 mil.

And that's it. There's no comeuppance. It's goodnight Vienna from him. NYPD haven't even fucking caught him.
