I find it funny that they call it the "heist of the century". It's 2003. We don't exactly have a lot of competition yet. In 2098, you could probably steal a hamburger worth this much.

The four were arrested on February 21, just a few days after a highly sophisticated team of crooks emptied diamonds and cash from more than 120 vaults at a heavily guarded diamond exchange.

LOL... i guess the "heavily guarded exchange" didn't do well if 120 vaults were opened.

Now the competition is open and someone is scheming right now to break that record...

If it's "heist of the century", doesn't it follow that it's also "heist of the millennium", at least for now?
