King-Size Heists. The group operated with almost military precision: garbed in black, wearing black ski masks, carrying elaborate tools and sometimes even walkie-talkies, the burglars were noted among police experts for their stealth, daring and king-size heists. Chicago detectives are certain of at least 30 jobs the gang pulled, with a haul that exceeded $3,000,000.

They made no mention of the fact that it was raining; only that the snow conditions were excellent--on a 75ft. swath of snow.
