Jewelers Found Guilty of Mimicking a Heist from the Movie Snatch

[Alboguy]

Remember the opening scene of Snatch? The robbery with men dressed up as Hasidic Jews? Some guys mimicked that in real life—and got caught. Apparently New York Jewelers Atul Shah and Mahaveer Kankariya were struggling with such huge debts that they only saw one solution: To hire a bunch of thugs, stage a robbery, and collect about $7 million from their insurance company.
They would've gotten away with the whole thing if it weren't for some tough security cameras.

Thanks for the read Albo! Being caught in the act on camera seems to happen a lot these. Big Brother is keeping an eye on us!

Your right Bear there are camera's everywhere now and some so small that they would go unseen, when i worked for a car testing firm they hid one inside a motion sensor so they could watch us work, i wouldn't have minded the camera but it was hidden...

A hidden camera, eh? Personally, I think that would have made quit the job. I don't like doing things when someone is looking over my shoulder, so to speak.

Guys I can't stop laughing at this. I even watched that movie and it's one of my favourite. The conclusion is that if you plan a robbery try to recall the actions movies involving a robbery that you have watched or you gonna make some extra time in jail (more than it's been planed for you) because of mimicking any of them...
