organize a heist

It’s been almost a year and I still haven’t come up with anything worthwhile.

My brother has organized a weekend where he has purchased a diamond necklace which will be locked in a safe in a hotel room along with $500 cash. He has booked an entire floor of the hotel for the weekend and whoever can steal the necklace and the cash without getting caught, gets to keep it. He has friends on the police force who are on board and anyone who is caught will be “arrested” and taken away in a police car. I am determined to win and would welcome any suggestions.

The heist has to be something really cool or just be from somewhere cool. 7-11 = not cool. The Louvre = Cool. Stock sheets/bonds = not cool. Nazi Gold = Cool. A group of at least 5 is required as well. Two people isn’t really that exciting. There has to be a wide variety where everyone has their own part and roll in the heist. There also has to be the side-heist – which isn’t the real one, it is only a diversion of sorts to keep the bad guys (the police or owner) confused. All the good heist movies have that. It is very exciting because it is something elaborate that requires a lot of prep but has a big pay out. Robbing a bank is out. That just isn’t the same. Like in “Heat”? No, thanks. Going in with AKs blazing is not how you want to do it. Future President Palmer getting popped while trying to drive the getaway car is not what I have in mind. There has got to be all kinds of sneaking around and sweet gadgetry to get in undetected. Everyone has to have costumes too, not Halloween costumes, just all-black gear or whatever it is they are pretending to be. And they should also change outfits at least once. Awesome.

A friend and I were trying to plan out a liquore store robbery with only a snickers bar and a bottle of coke. It’d be difficult but just think of the street cred. you’d get.
