Sticking to the thread title:
I was working in Nigeria. Some bank robbers cased the joint and found the safe was in the cellar along with some strong boxes and storage shelves. They also surveyed the next door shop premises which turned out to also have a basement. Watching the bank and shop next door for a few weeks they observed that the shop closed at 6pm on Saturdays and re-opened 9 am Monday morning. It didn't have much security, just a flimsy padlock on the door. So on Saturday evening they entered the shop, went down to the basement and started chiselling away at the dividing wall separating the shop basement from the bank basement. They came to some steel reinforcing mesh in the wall. Someone was sent off to get some cutting gear and gas and returned with oxy-acetylene cutting gear. (OK it's not the actual LPG thread (YET), but it's a good story if you just wait a bit . . . ) They proceeded to cut through the steel mesh, hacked away some more at the bricks and eventually got to a solid steel wall, the bank vault. So out with the cutting gear and they proceeded to cut a hole into the vault.
KABOOM. On the bank side of the steel wall, the bank had been storing bottles of LPG and the oxy-acetylene cut through the steel wall and through a gas bottle.
Passers by outside the shop heard the kaboom, and saw bricks, glass and bits of furniture and metal flying out of the shop next to the bank, and the street was showered with paper money that the bank had been storing on shelves. Accompanied by arms and legs of bank robbers who had all been blown to bits.
Be sure your sins will find you out.
"We have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done" as the confession goes.
