Heist Special Series - Chapter 2 - ADVANCED HEISTING
Okay, so in the last chapter, we focused on the basics; now, we want to move on to the more advanced techniques of heisting. We can’t talk about advanced techniques without mentioning one of the earliest and most remarkable devices we’ve ever encountered. THE LITTLE JOKER - this is a tool we’ve discussed extensively on Heist Podcast because it’s so damn cool. It’s not known exactly who invented this nifty gizmo, but we do know that it was made famous by the Godfather of Bank Heisters, George Leonidas Leslie. In post-civil war, NYC, G.L.L. used the Little Loker to pull off some of the biggest heists in history. Including the Manhattan Savings Institution robbery of 1878 which won him and his crew the title of MOST MONEY EVER STOLEN. $2.5 million dollars, calculating for inflation that’s approximately* $77,000,000!
