Police said an Audi saloon made to look like a police car with a flashing blue light was used in the raid, together with a Mercedes van.

the r8 is the german denomination for the a8, then there's the s8 which is a sporty coupe like the one Jon Olsson has, which can't be the one referred to in the article because a ''saloon'' is just the european term for a stretched limo

Guys my friend told me about the event in class today, and said they had an r8. Guess he was wrong. I just took his word for it and just linked the first article I could google.

Regardless of the car driven, still pretty nuts.

I'm wondering, why was 50 million dollars of good being transported on a public plane? No security? I would've expected a quick private jet flight to a small airport. Hm...

Too obvious, they often do these transports combined with regular goods and very little people knowing about it to not draw attention towards it.

Also, this. Im a huge fan of white collar crimes / well done heists. Could you imagine how fun doing this would have been?

Any NSers down to rob a plane coming back from Siera Leon?

Lawrence... I kinda feel like you may already have had something to do with this, are you sure youre not an international jewel thief? Would make a lot more sense then you being a student.

But regardless, fuck yea, you supply the R8s


I redub this as the official NS High Class Thief thread.
