...Some of the money was eventually recovered, but, curiously enough, much of the other property went unclaimed, lending credence to the rumor that the vault also contained a lot of dirty little secrets. This much of The Bank Job's story is true. But since to this day no one knows who perpetrated the crime or what their motives were, director Roger Donaldson and screenwriters Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais have had to make up most of their tale.

Either way, if the hemisphere excuses the Colombian raid, it would set a precedent that "endangers any one of our countries," said Correa while meeting in Brazil with President Lula before going to Caracas Wednesday to huddle with Chavez...
