Cashed Out - True Crime Podcast

The United California Heist


Listen Later

In March of 1972, a quiet bank near the Pacific Coast Highway became the center of a crime so bold it rewrote the rules of burglary. No alarms screamed. No doors were forced. While the city slept, a crew moved across the roof, cutting methodically through concrete and steel, descending into a vault no one believed could be reached.

The United California Bank Robbery was not a rush for cash. It unfolded over multiple nights, driven by patience, discipline, and absolute trust. Led by a meticulous mastermind, a carefully assembled crew bypassed advanced security systems and opened hundreds of safe-deposit boxes in total silence. By the time the bank reopened, millions were gone and the vault looked like a demolition site.

In this episode of Cashed Out, we trace the planning, execution, and aftermath of the largest bank burglary in U.S. history. From a rooftop no one noticed to an investigation that stunned federal authorities, this is a story of precision, nerve, and consequences that stretched far beyond the crime itself.
