Oh I love those films.

What you do is you rent a space near a bank. My God! I just realized that the office I rent is exactly that. In fact, although I was not watching, it has been possible to see bank robberies out my window.

Anyway, you tunnel underground and come up in the vault. Now since the bedrock here is a few feet down, usually, and is crystalline metamorphic rock, I think I need about fifty years to make my tunnel.

Once you come up into the vault, you knock the fronts off the safe deposit boxes with a sledge hammer. Again, I have rotor cuff tears on both shoulders so I am wondering how to manage this.

The boxes themselves are not locked. You just dump the contents into canvas bags. Then you crawl back out the tunnel and drive away and fly off to South America.

But KT! I told you. I was thinking it might be a good idea to put much of my wealth in U. S. savings bonds and keep them in a safe deposit box, so when those suckers carry those bonds into a bank in Rio they will say, "Let's see your passport" and then they would say, "That's not you! and we can't cash these even if if were you."

So after considering it carefully, I think buying U. S. bonds is more my style than robbing bank vaults.
