He knew he had a limited time in which to complete the heist. But Carl was the type of thief who thrived under the pressure and just loved the challenge. The greater the risk, the greater the reward as always.

A meticulous planner, Carl planned every job down to the last detail. “How you liking our chances?” his partner Robert asked. “As always, they’re going to go great,” Carl replied.

Robert smiled as he nodded his head, it’ll be great to be involved in the heist with one of the greatest thieves of all time. The scores he’s taken down are legendary, and how he’s been able to avoid getting caught and sent to prison even more so.

Although they have a good idea of what Carl is, the cops could never pin anything on him, he’s been as slippery as an eel. And that makes this even more exciting, the possibility of a great payday and never going to prison. This makes working for Carl the greatest privileges a criminal could ask for.

Carl figured that this should rank up there with the Lufthansa Heist of 1978. And it is about to go down in much the same way. An inside job that somebody knew a lot of money was stored in a vault at a courier’s headquarters. The intelligence that Carl had gathered said there would be one female employee working alone at the desk. Carl and Robert should easily overpower her because as their inside man told them, she was a tiny little one who weighed all of 85 pounds, who cannot put up much of a fight against both the 200-pound men in Carl and Robert.

So, they kept the job to themselves and when it came time to pull it off the two criminals with masks and 12-gauge shotguns burst into the courier’s office and met the shock of their lives, as soon as the 85-pound woman got to her knees, from the back office came the SWAT team.

The police had finally caught Carl, his inside man, who had been caught earlier in the year on a drug charge, and agreed with the police to set up a robbery to finally get Carl in prison.
