This book is not for everyone. It is for those who wish to dream and to dream a wish. It is for those who have woken up every morning of their life begging the question whether this life is truly there for the taking or their to be taken. If you are sick of what little you have, and wish to gain the world and more, read this book, it is written by an author or also feels this way, he loves to explore the boundaries of sanity and insanity coming within a feathers distance of the two. No, I do not condone the purpose of the book, albeit I do not loathe it, but instead I nourish the idea that robbing a bank is as simple as reading a book. For a group of French robbers it was this simple, they self-confessed in a note left at the crime scene that the brains behind their £25 million loot was this book. They adapted it to their situation of course but this book should be called the Tao of Robbing a Bank. It does not tell you how to do it, but it tells you how to focus your thinking to maximise your chances. If you are in security or the police forces this book is invaluable to not only investigating a crime but in preventing it in the first place. If you do decide to buy this book, enjoy it from front to bank, do not judge it from the first couple of pages, read it all the way through, then to see if you have truly understood what has been written, thinking carefully about what you have learnt.

how do you crack a safe in an unrobbable bank? If you are Mike Daniels, ambitious professional thief and master safe-cracker, you plan for months in minute detail. You hire three hard bitten colleagues whose work you respect. And you find yourself Stephen Booker, out-of-work architect and civil engineer, whose comfortable suburban life is coming apart. You pick his brain, get him involved, wear down his moral resistance, and hire him. Then you enter the London sewer and bore from within. The safe has a time lock, and you have a weekend in which to dig a tunnel under the vault and blast it open. If you throw the alarm, half the police force will be on your tail. The timing must be split second. Nerves are stretched. One of your men is claustrophobic. There is constant danger of lethal gas. A rainstorm can wipe you out. But if you pull it off, the prize is several million pounds and pride in having done the biggest, more daring; and ingenous job in history. If you pull it off, that is...
