Craigslisting Unwitting Decoys for a Bank Robbery.

In perhaps one of the most ingenious uses of crime-sourcing seen to date, a bank robber in Seattle utilized Craigslist to recruit a crowd of unwitting participants to facilitate his escape. In the days leading up to the robbery, the perpetrator placed an ad on Craigslist seeking workers for a purported road-maintenance project paying $28.50 an hour. He instructed his “contractors” to show up at a street location at the exact place and time an armored car was to be delivering cash to a local Bank of America.

The robber instructed all those showing up for the promise of work to wear their own yellow vest, safety goggles, respirator mask and blue shirt — the criminal’s exact outfit the day of the robbery. After overpowering the armored car driver with pepper spray, the suspect grabbed a duffel bag filled with cash, ran past a dozen or so similarly dressed innocents and made his escape 100 yards away to a local creek where he floated away in a pre-positioned inner tube. 911 calls reporting the robbery described the suspect as being a construction worker in a yellow vest. When police arrived on seen, they had numerous robbery suspects from which to choose.

Do you appreciate the real purpose of 'armored cars' transporting FRNs?

It's to keep up the illusion that FRNs amount to holding value or substance.

Armored car is for those people who don't understand what is valuble

Meanwhile real gold and silver get moved via Convoys

Long ago in CA I went to the hardware store, one of those trucks got there at the same time that I did..... by chance I had to check my tires and when I looked up I saw three faces looking at me from inside of their truck.......................I decided to have some fun, I open the hood of my pick up and then sat on the tail gate of my pick up and just looked back at them, they didn't move and three minutes later a cops car pulled behind them and they guys pointed out at me, the cop came over to asked me what was I doing there and I told him that I was waiting for my engine to cool down...............he went back to the armored truck and stood behind it while the guys came out and did their thing...........when they got back I waved at them as they were leaving.......................................I then went to the cop to asked him what was going on (like if I didn't know) and he told me that I made them "nervous".

You should have worn a mask. Just your raw face scared the dickens out of them.
