A company I worked for was broken into. First they broke into the mechanics shop area, took the tools they needed, then broke into the main bldg.

Inside the main bldg. was a vault. Vault was approx. 12' X 15'. Walls were all lined with metal filing cabinets (full of paper!). The door was one of those huge, bank types: steel-faced on all sides, probably 10-12" thick, (insulated) with a huge 'steamship type' wheel that (after turning the dial combination correctly) you spun, to move all the internal gears and the moving locking pins from the framework.

They (2-3 guys?) literally peeled the front off (half way down) that 8 ft. tall steel door, using nothing more than large chisels and sledge hammers taken from our shop. It looked like a sardine can lid.

Once in the vault they found/took ...nothing!

The cash box (which probably had less than $3K in it was locked in ONE of the many filing cabinets. They never opened it!

They finally pried open a soft drink machine in a hallway and probably left with less that $20 from it.

Sheriff assumed they probably worked HARD, pounding on that VAULT DOOR for 4-5 hours to open it.

Perhaps they thought we were a bank?

It was an electrical utility company. LOL
