Casino cage at Treasure Island robbed

[Pelerus]

When you're dealing with armed robbers with fully automatic weapons, you're usually talking about a MAC-10 or some kind of machine pistol. In this case it probably doesn't make any sense to bring a functioning full-auto weapon, because if things degrade to the point where he actually has to fire the weapon, he's in such deep trouble that he doesn't need the extra 10 years in the Federal pen for the full auto.

On the plus side, why not go out with a bang? "Say hello to my little friend" or something like that. Besides, what's the difference between a 100 year sentence and a 110 year sentence?

That TI cage has had impenetrable bars on it since the string of armed robberies back in 2000. zg

Do those bars prevent bullets from going in or cash from coming out?

I think he means they keep people from going in, but unless it is a solid steel wall, I think bullets can go between the bars, and cash can, as well. Sounds like the robbers has some inside help or information. Or, and this is for zg, maybe it's a false flag operation; instead of skimming, they found it more profitable to hire someone to steal from themselves. This way they get the money and a tax write-off (casualty loss). Naw! :cool2:
