I read this today in the paper. I can't figure out how it was done!

Q: Was anyone ever arrested in the robbery of millions of dollars from a truck by a hole cut in the roof while it was going down I-80 years ago?

A: The theft of $2.3 million from a truck-trailer rig as it traveled down Interstate 80 in 1999 is unsolved.

On the night of March 24, 1999 in a rain, a thief apparently climbed unseen onto the roof of an unarmored trailer after it left Sacramento, cut a hole in the roof and somehow removed the money without being detected, The Bee reported.

When the truck arrived in San Francisco, workers discovered the money was missing, a strange bag and a pool of water on the floor from rain and the hole in the roof.

The thief or thieves reportedly got away with about 270 pounds of $20 $50 and $100 bills.

An FBI spokesman told The Bee that the theft was one of the most unusual that he could remember.

Loomis, Fargo and Co. discontinued the cash shuttles shortly after the theft, FBI officials said

I'm thinking a VERY smart crook who should work for the FBI
They need his brains, since they never could figure it out.
Pretty daring, they should make a film about it.
I'd go see it.

And Loomis, Fargo and Co. are living off of this comfortable too.

Almost had to be an insider job but damn if I can figure out how they pulled it off.

I can believe it but no way AO, they can't make a film and show the world how easy it is.
But like both BS and Steven said, inside job and who but the shipper would know, those hauls were classified. Probably the driver isn't aware of what he is hauling.
But, I heard of a simular hist but this one was by cutting a hole in the bottom side and histing the money while the driver and his occupant, probably a guard, were enjoying breakfast in a truck stop restaurant. Don't remember how much. All I remember was, it was a hush hush affair but you know the news media, the first to tell the story is the winner.

I'm like BS boy if I could figure out they did it,
you guys might not see on the roo for a while!

I thought what a lot of work for £270 but then I realised it meant 270lbs LOL

I'll never tell.........
