EITHER WAY... because of this, I had pretty much every tool that you'd need to brute-force your way into a bank. Because we often had to work in, er,

Did you ever have the cops show up in the middle of this? That would have been an interesting conversation. :)

just recently we had a chase bank get sued from the owner of the building they were renting, safe deposit boxes and vaults and all.

they left when their lease was up but not before hiring a guy to do 2 million dollars worth of damage to the safe deposit boxes. they had them drilled out to get the left behind items that people didnt claim.

Yikes! Hard to know what the right thing to do was in that situation, but it's hard to believe there wasn't an option that didn't involve getting sued for $2M. Maybe that's pocket change to Chase, though, and I suppose they have lawyers on staff.

I'd hate to be the guy who is just trying to make ends meet doing stuff like that, though, and will now be dragged into court to testify about who told him what and when.

I have! Generally they were notified in advance if we had to do something like that. I remember a few times being in a bad part of town, and asking the police "aren't you going to, like, supervise or keep watch?" only to have them reply, "Hell no! I'm not standing outside in this part of town. I'll be in the car over there!"

More interesting was if I ever got pulled over, and I'd have to explain that I had "equipment" in the trunk, which would raise a few eyebrows and generally ended with me getting searched before being eventually sent on my way.

That's what I used to do. Banks really, really want that stuff. I think, honestly, they probably make more money auctioning off unclaimed safe deposit stuff than they do just on safe deposit rental fees. And you'd be amazed at what kind of stuff people "forget" to claim in their boxes.
