DevX sent me another great article:

Exclusive clothing boutiques line Avenida Presidente Masarik here. A Burberry coat? A Corneliani suit? A Gucci scarf? Have enough pesos, and they are yours.

But tucked on a leafy side street in the Polanco neighborhood is a shop unlike the others, one whose bustling business says much about the dire state of security in this country. At Miguel Caballero, named after its Colombian owner, all the garments are bulletproof.

There are bulletproof leather jackets and bulletproof polo shirts. Armored guayabera shirts hang next to protective windbreakers, parkas and even white ruffled tuxedo shirts. Every member of the sales staff has had to take a turn being shot while wearing one of the products, which range from a few hundred dollars to as much as $7,000, so they can attest to the efficacy of the secret fabric.

I think I am going to pick up some Bulletproof guayabera shirts for Miami Beach and Dominican Republic this winter.

Heistman uses Craigslist to help with Armored Truck Robbery

DevX sent a great link on a very Innovative New School Heist:

In a move that could be right out of a Hollywood movie, a brazen crook apparently used a Craigslist ad to hire a dozen unsuspecting decoys to help him make his getaway following a robbery outside a bank on Tuesday. He then made his escape in an inner tube on the Skykomish River.

The robbery happened about 11 a.m. on an armored truck guard at a Bank of America branch.

The robber sprayed the guard with pepper spray, grabbed a bag of money the guard was carrying and ran about 100 yards to the creek that runs into the Skykomish River, shedding clothes as he ran.

But apparently, the robber had planned ahead. In case anyone was hot on his trail, he had at least a dozen unsuspecting decoys waiting nearby, which he recruited on Craigslist.

“I came across the ad that was for a prevailing wage job for $28.50 an hour,” said Mike, who saw a Craigslist ad last week looking for workers for a road maintenance project in Monroe.

He said he inquired and was e-mailed back with instructions to meet near the Bank of America in Monroe at 11 a.m. Tuesday. He also was told to wear certain work clothing.

“Yellow vest, safety goggles, a respirator mask… and, if possible, a blue shirt,” he said.

Mike showed up along with about a dozen other men dressed like him, but there was no contractor and no road work to be done. He thought they had been stood up until he heard about the bank robbery and the suspect who wore the same attire.

Great Heist. Style all the way. No one got hurt (really) and a testament to planning and flair.

Technology makes heists more difficult. But if you are an innovator, you can use technology to your advantage.

Like Bank of America doesn’t have enough problems.

A manager of an armored truck company helped the police solve a $330,000 robbery when he noticed that surveillance images of the robber resembled one of the company’s employees, the police said Wednesday.

The employee was arrested at his home late Tuesday on robbery charges. The cash was not recovered.

The suspect was employed at Dunbar Armored, and the robbery occurred when a Dunbar truck was making a delivery to the M&T Bank branch at 397 First Avenue, near 23rd Street, on Tuesday morning. The Dunbar guard, a woman, was accosted and overpowered in the bank vestibule.

The suspect, who had been a driver for Dunbar Armored for about nine months, asked on Monday to have the next day off, according to a criminal complaint.

On Tuesday, the guard and a driver had parked the truck on East 23rd Street near the bank about an hour after the bank had opened at 8:30 a.m. When the guard, whose role was known as a “hopper,” jumped down from the truck and entered the bank’s vestibule carrying the cash in a nylon bag, she passed The suspect, who was wearing a hood and standing near the automated teller machines, the police said.

The police said The suspectattacked the guard from behind, holding her with his left arm while grabbing her gun with his right hand. He snatched the bag of cash and fled, while the guard ran into the bank, the police said.

Cassidy – I’m a Hustla

Globe-trotting jewel thief Mike Eternity captured

No. Not me. Check it:

IT sounds like a plot from a Hollywood script, but US authorities say it is real.

For almost 20 years a suave, charming jewel thief travelled the world, bouncing between Australia, the US, Canada and Israel, and along the way stole tens of thousands of dollars, possibly millions, worth of diamonds from unsuspecting victims.

The story also has a Hollywood ending.

Last week on the US-Canadian border, American authorities finally put handcuffs on the alleged globe-trotting jewel thief.

His name is not easy to pronounce, Moshe Tsitsaushivili, although his alleged colourful, Hollywood-friendly alias contributed to his arrest.

The name on the fake Israeli passport Mr Tsitsaushivili allegedly handed over to the US Border Control officer was as brazen as the offences he is accused of committing.

Tsitsaushivili was posing as “Mike Eternity”.

Mr Tsitsaushivili, who was born in the former Soviet republic of Georgia, used his charm and skill as an expert diamond cutter to gain the confidence of jewellers across the northeast US in the 1980s, police allege.

He would offer to work for free or “a small stipend” and gain the business owners’ trust and when eventually allowed access to the store’s jewels without supervision, he would go on a lunch break and never return.

I hate Hollywood endings.

Bulletproof jacket is High Fashion in Mexico

Shopping for designer clothes in Mexico City isn’t the same as it is in other world capitals.

In the tiny Miguel Caballero boutique on a leafy side street in the Polanco district, the jackets and shirts are not stacked according to size; they are stacked according to how well they will stop a bullet from piercing your chest.

“Low” means it can protect you against a .38 Special; “medium” will allow you to survive an assault from a sub-machinegun; and “high” will give you the chance to brag about the time someone tried to take you out at point-blank range with a .44 Magnum.

Welcome to the world of high-security fashion — a lucrative market in a country where there have been almost 3,000 murders this year, along with two or three kidnappings every day.

Miguel Caballero — named after the company’s Colombian founder — sells everything from trenchcoats to dress shirts (to be worn under your dinner jacket) and leather motorcycle jackets. Customers include President Chávez of Venezuela.

The most expensive line, labelled Black, features removable bulletproof panels that are so light and flexible that you can screw them up in your hand like paper. They are also thermo-regulating, meaning that they keep your body temperature between 13C (55F) and 17C. The only downside is the expense: $7,000 (£4,000) for a single jacket with the highest level of protection.

I need to get a few of these custom made. Things are getting dicey in this Down Economy.

Just to think, I have been cruising around Tijuana swooping girls in $7,000 non-bullet proof suits…
