This is the lamest fucking museum heist ever. Break a window? Use a ladder? Leave it at the scene? Really?

Where's the elegance, the dexterity, the artistry?

>The thieves are believed to have to set up a ladder from the adjacent railway tracks to enter the building located on Berlin’s famous Museum Island. The ladder was found on the tracks on Monday, interrupting the rail service, according to Deutsche Welle.

>Investigators have not said how the thieves managed to avoid setting off the museum alarms or hauling the heavy coin out of the museum.

>"The coin was secured with bullet-proof glass inside the building. That much I can say," Mr. Wenzel said. "Neither I nor the Bode Museum can go into detail regarding personnel inside the building, the alarm system or security installations."

OK fair enough. A ladder like that is one of those ridiculously tall ones for large contractor jobs, so not easy to carry around, and then they'd have to get the coin out of a high window and down the steps of a giant ladder as well, all of which assumes that both the passive and active security systems were not shit.

Then again, one inside man -- the supervisor of the security staff -- could probably disable (or at least give complete technical intel on) the whole apparatus if the museum has gotten complacent from never being robbed before. And considering that "fencing" the coin is as simple as melting it into bullion, it's easy to guarantee that guy an enormous cut, a fake identity, and pre-paid ticket to nowheresville in the Banana Republic.
