pure amateurs.

I'd roll in with my tinted black minivan disguised as a domestic cat.

masks on, silencers on, radio contact in full service.

You walk in silently in the middle of the night, while simultaneously cutting the power to avoid motion sensor lighting, and deactivating security. I've only got 17 seconds before the backup generator kicks in, and I've got to get in before that happens.

Laser etch the glass window on the door, unlock and slip in. Literally seconds before security kicks on. I deactivate the security and my boys gain access.

The next step is infiltrating high value areas, calculating asset to risk values, and finally cracking their safe. I've got a man on each job, and 3 on watch. Radio silence until I give the all clear.

It's quick and clean, and we get what we came for. We didn't need guns, and the masks served their purpose for when the neighbors surveillance cameras had surely picked us up.

We all leave in the same vehicle, drive to our relay point, and quickly split up. We can't be in contact again until 2 weeks had passed, and the search for us had gone quiet.

We meet up again, and by that time I've had the opportunity to fence our haul. We split evenly except the extra 10% managing operator fee.

We never meet again.

• And that's how you maintain discretion, and security.
