    like a scene out of a movie.

    probably hired by some rich magnate from an island somewhere who also houses stolen art. ;)
    this inspires me to watch a heist movie tonight.

    That's some serious effort. I can respect that.

    Seems like it would be hard to cover one's trail regarding the choppa, paper-wise and radar-wise.

    The chopper was stolen and you can fly below radar.

    They were long gone by the time the cops got up to speed on things.

    lol chron.com
    fuck we have shitty newspapers here.


    also, this is the kind of stuff swedish kids dream about (hell any kid really) I hope these guys never get caught, just for the sheer ballsiness/cool factor of it all.

    LOL. I don't get it? Is there some kind of shortage of helicopters over there or something? Why not just commandeer a private/news chopper?

    someone mentioned the Pink Panther gang at another site I visit.

    could be the work of those guys.

    Pink Panthers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    They are well known for meticulously planned jewelry heists that usually involve vehicles, and get pretty creative with their heists. They also rarely get caught.
