Answer:
Once upon a time, commercial robbery was child’s play. Simply select your target, wait until the staff had gone home, smash your way in, fill your pockets and scarper. An idiot could do it. Many did. They stopped when business owners, at the behest of their exasperated insurers, began to install safes.
Cleverer criminals were undeterred. Between the 1920s and the 1960s, the professional safe-cracker became a respected underworld figure. It was skillful work, the province of the true craftsman. You couldn’t second guess a safe; it required knowledge, patience, and, as safes became more sophisticated, specialist equipment and training. And safes were becoming more sophisticated. Innovative manufacturers such as Chubb developed new locking and double-locking mechanisms to prevent tampering while safe housings were made sturdier.
So too were the cracksmen. These were the years that followed the Second World War and the underworld was full of de-mobbed young men, recently starved of adventure and boasting a set of skills that could be easily repurposed. The stethoscope system beloved of cartoon villains fell into disuse as criminals started to apply the methods that worked so effectively on European bridges and German tanks.
Now, using gelignite to blow a ruddy great hole in a safe worked to a certain extent, but there was the constant risk that your careful explosion would throw the locking mechanism into place, securing it even more tightly. And that’s before we consider the dangers inherent in fiddling about with bombs.
