was it you who stole the louvre
Yeah. The entire building. they just havent noticed because i replaced each of the individual bricks one by one. There were also some dudes stealing some necklaces with shiny rocks or whatever but i didnt care because it wasnt bricks
john rogers on the louvre heist. for context on the "low tech" thing, they used this to access the napoleonic jewels:
…and then really just normal power tools for the glass. and they didn’t try to stop the alarms going off etc. low tech but evidently effective.
Kaz Brekker age 9 realizing the guy who killed his brother is literally the most powerful man in the city: ...I just need to lock the fuck in—
My casino has new top-of-the-line technology to stop heists: a montage detector. If those bastards want to break in and steal my money, they’re doing it as part of one, long take
Target audience reached
Adding in a step to the end of the security process where everyone must do a complicated card trick—simple to redo with cuts, incredibly hard to do if it's at the end of a oner
My guards write off a blip on the detector as a false alarm. I come into the room and realise, all too late-- "no, you incompentent morons! That was a hidden cut!!!"
HEIST FILMS + COUPLES ❤️
was having a minor crisis but this appeared in my head and it was so stupid it just snapped me right out of it
“i’m a top” “im a bottom” okay????? i’m an internationally-renowned art thief????? and tonight i’m here to rob you????
We have a deal~
we're so back
I got two requests for Moist and Adora dancing so here they go! (of course, Adora is leading! )
Hey so fun new scam just dropped! I got a call earlier today from someone spoofing the local police department's desk number, asking me if there was a reason I'd missed my jury summons this morning.
Friends, I had not received a jury summons for this month. Which I told him, at which point his previously clear diction suddenly turned into a rapid mumble, only becoming clear for scary words like 'federal' and then asking to confirm my address, at which point I hung up and decided to call the police department later.
When I called the police department the desk officer sounded so tired y'all. All I had to say was "Hey I got a call earlier saying I missed jury duty this morning?" and she immediately sighed and told me that yes it was a scam that was going around and thanked me for calling to confirm.
So this is your periodic reminder that law enforcement agencies will not call you to tell you that you're in trouble. If you need to pay a fine of some sort they will mail you a physical invoice. Anyone calling you saying they're from the police or any other law enforcement organization (up to the CIA and yes I have heard of scammers attempting to impersonate CIA agents over the phone) who then tries to get financial information from you over the phone is a scammer.
I know I actually bang on about this a weird amount, but it is my fervent hope that the information will stick in peoples' brains if they get randomly selected for the adrenaline spike lottery. Scammers use scary words to get you to panic in order to shut down your critical thinking, and if even one person's brain spits out "Tumblr user waterhobbit said the cops/CIA/federal marshalls don't call about this shit" before their bank account routing number is in the hands of assholes I will consider it a job well done.
Got a scam call once that said I was up for criminal charges for tax problems in some other state, and Mr. Scammer was ready to represent me in court! Just give him my info and he is going to be There For Me!
I asked him why I hadn't received any notice of this.
"They didn't have the right address and the proceedings will start in two hours!"
Oh no, I said. How awful. Please give me the name of the courthouse and the docket ID so I can call them to see if I can make arrangements.
*click*
That is not how "you are going to be on trial for a crime you didn't commit" works
No real lawyer is going to volunteer to represent someone they've never heard of without at least a solid discussion of what's going on.
Always ask for the extra details. Account numbers. Location. Date of the incident in question. If it relates to court, name of the judge; name of the prosecutor. If it's an offer of money, who's giving it, and do they have a website? If it's a bill, what's the invoice number, when was it created, what's the source company's contact info? And by the way, Caller Trying To Avert Disaster By Calling Me, A Stranger - what's your name, email, phone number, and relation to this incident? Where did you get my number? Ah, there's a virus on my computer, you say? Which one? ("The one running Windows.") ("Which computer? Which version of Windows?") (At the time I got this call, I didn't know it was a scam - I just knew we had 5 computers in the house, some of which had different versions of Windows.)
Law enforcement agencies that call you - which, as noted above, is NOT how this works - will be VERY CLEAR about their bona fides. They will establish which agency they are calling from; they will give you their name; they will give you whatever ID number they have. (Badge number, employee ID, whatever.) They WILL give you a contact number so you can call them back.
For any of the "I think this might be a scam" issue: Start with, "What's your name and phone number, in case we get disconnected?" Then ask for the case number, invoice number, account number - something that identifies "you" on their end.
Anything legit will WANT you to call them back if there's a problem.
Scams don't want to give you a way to contact them. (Or they give you a number and it goes to their scam center - but you can't get the person who called you.)
The thing about Leverage is that even on the rare occasions where I don't believe a normal person would fall for something, I 100% believe a billionaire who's never been told "no" would. This is the same group of people that tried to visit the Titanic with a video game controller
made by mochimonki on tiktok but i can’t stop thinking about it
One thing I’ve learned in life, if you act really self-assured and confident you can pretty much get away with anything.
For example, I’ve watched someone walk on to a plane with no passport. Just walked right on.
Once walked out of a dude’s house with a pair of his pants slung over my shoulder. Did all the usual eye-contact, saying-goodbye movements and noises, just… while stealing his pants. He did not notice.
I told my English teacher that she graded my final paper(I did not turn one in) and that she told me it was well written. She scrambled 3 days trying to find the nonexistent paper, then apologized to me for losing it and gave me a 96%. Confidence is key
my dad’s mate just walked out of a shop with a canoe and didn’t get questioned
Humans are like bees: if they sense you’re an intruder all hell will break loose, but if you get inside the hive they just assume you belong there. Be confident.
Bee confident
This is funny but also true, and a huge tip when traveling. Act like you belong, and you won’t be bothered like other tourists might. Especially on public transportation… do your research ahead of time and look like a disinterested commuter and you’ll blend right in.
Fun Fact about Bees: they use pheromones to communicate and the pheromone to signal ALARM is the same chemical that makes bananas smell like bananas so if you eat a banana and then breathe on a beehive you will regret it and this seemed relevant when i started writing it
Humans will also be alarmed when you breathe on them, but that’s not related to bananas.
Unrelated to bananas:
This is how to steal a piano
At my undergrad uni, in the 90s, two guys showed up at the music faculty with coveralls, a clipboard, and a big rolling dolly. They went up to one of the practice rooms, loaded up a piano to take it off for maintenance, took the service elevator to the loading dock, and never came back.
After that, practice rooms were key card access only.
Confidence is everything.
greatest psychic of the 21st century!! i never finished this one but i always liked it a lot… though in hindsight it’s a bit busy.
i love mp100 dearly and i drew this guy way way too much so expect more sometime
inexplicably one of my favorite dynamics in the show. normal people conversations
