On an October evening in 1997, a vault supervisor at the Loomis Fargo Armored Truck Company sends his trainee home early after an exhausting first day. After the trainee leaves, the supervisor walks the building, alone. He goes into his manager's office and takes two security tapes, then, he backs a truck up to the vault entrance. For over an hour he loads bricks upon bricks of cash, 2,700 pounds of it, onto the truck. When the suspension sags, he closes the door and drives off with $17.3 million. An hourly wage worker just committed one of the biggest cash robberies in US history.
