The Stockholm Heist (encore)
It was early evening just a few minutes from closing time at the National Museum when suddenly the normally peaceful museum took on the aesthetic of an action movie. An armed intruder walked in yelling at the guards and patrons to be still and calm which I have to assume had the exact opposite effect. He had two accomplices already in the space and they apparently were trained on the guards. Meanwhile, the thieves detonated explosives in two cars parked in front of hotels across town. The thieves were working under the assumption that exploding cars would create panic and chaos drawing the attention of the police leaving fewer officers to chase after them. They also threw nails into the road to blow the tires on any police cars that tried to chase after them. Of course, it seems like a bit of overkill throwing out the nails to stop police cars because the thieves didn’t escape in a getaway car. The National Museum in Stockholm is next to the water, so they fled the scene in a speedboat.
