...four employees who work the unenviable night shift at Wells Fargo's fortress-like depot in lower Manhattan reported for duty at 1 a.m. Two were guards carrying service revolvers; two were unarmed. Their job was to open the vault and load an armored car with money bags destined for the Federal Reserve Bank.

...gunmen apparently broke into the Wells Fargo building through the wall of an adjacent building, using sledgehammers and other tools to create a 35-in.-high opening.

Who hasn't met the nice suburban couple with their laughing gas-like smiles who sing showtunes as they drive down the highway in their sky-blue station wagons?
