Reply to comment by boilerpl8 in TIL that in 2005 burglars stole $71.6 million from a bank in Fortaleza, Brazil by setting up a fake landscaping company near the bank and digging a 256ft tunnel beneath two city blocks to the bank over 3 months. Neighbors noticed vanloads of soil removed daily but assumed it was business-related. by Lagavulin16_neat

To pay for the thing before they get the money? Also it would be a hell lot cleaner money than the bank money. They didn't exactly want to use that money when they went to go grocery shopping.
