OK, the police want to know where you were Easter Sunday

$30 million stolen from a money storage facility in Sylmar, a suburban neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley.

So, where were you…

If the thieves are smart they'll either sit on it for a long time or, buy a boat big enough to get them to Mexican waters then hire a plane to who knows where.

That much cash from dispensary pot sales? If so, makes you wonder if it was inside job. Money disappears, and a large taxable gain becomes a loss?

Yeah, it says Los Angeles right in the headline of the article. I guess that is technically, "outside of San Francisco," but by about 400 miles.

I did not even know that there was such a thing as a *cash storage facility* until this happened.

Dollars to donuts, it was Armenians. And I say that with all due respect.

Cops need to do surveillance at the local Mercedes dealership and put a "tail" on those buying up a bunch of G Wagens.

Right down the road from me. I guess the internet was knocked out for most of the day in the area. You would think there would be some kind of backup security plan in place.

I'm guessing it's an inside job. The cops will be watching suspects like a hawk and there will be a bust soon. Squealing to follow

Definitely inside job.

I was reading about other large money heists. There was one north of here in Frazier Park. Jewelry, gems and watches worth $100 million stolen at The Flying J Truck Stop.

.
I think that they would be looking for unusual activity?

You have to realize that they were stealing their own money, they own all of the dispensaries in the valley and therefore know all about this place. They probably planned it over countless hookah sessions at one of the popular lounges, with the employees they had befriended dropping off their cash every day.

We’ll revisit this thread when the arrests come and see how accurate I was.
