BUNGLING BURGLARS 
FOILED AT BULLION
DEALERS

Burglars were baffled when their tunnel came up 50 feet short at Chards in Harrowside Blackpool.
Staff at Chards, the UK’s Leading Coin & Bullion Dealer were amused to find the gaping hole on Wednesday morning in an obvious attempt to tunnel into their underground strongroom.

Turned out to be Electricity North West doing some routine maintenance!

They did actually "****-**" part of our alarm systems.

At least I did get to experience our smoke system, although it did make it difficult to finish checking a half sovereign I had been looking at.

I don't understand. You're saying there wasn't a burglary attempt? But this story was published? How would they get that wrong? Didn't they interview you? I mean they said Chard's staff were amused to find the tunnel or something, which would require them to have talked to you or your staff. Is this some fake paper? (I don't see anything about aliens or whatever on the cover.)

I tried finding the story online but couldn't. I did find this though: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3483679/Hatton-Garden-gang-sentenced-14million-gem-raid-today.html

Those geezers were also involved in something called the "Brink's Mat" gold heist. We have a Brink's armored car firm in the US, but I don't know what the "Mat" refers to. Somehow they got caught every time, which makes me a little bit sad. Why do these sorts of big-time heist crews always get caught? What's the point of doing something if you're just going to get caught? What happened to pride in one's work, in one's craft? I mean, I'm not condoning robbery, but jeez, if you're going to do something, do it right. In California, they had a similar big robbery of an armored car company cash depot – it was a seven figure haul. They got caught because one of them tried to pay a realtor for a house with cash still wrapped in the armored car company's branded cash straps...
