Chapter 2. Advanced Heisting Techniques. Just a note off the top for this chapter, we're going to be

covering a lot of things and we're super excited about it because it's all some awesome heist nerd stuff.

But fair warning, we're going to be jumping around a lot from topic to topic. So it's going to get,

it's going to get a little crazy. Little jump little junky let's get into it so the last chapter

we really focused on vaults and safes now we want to move on to the broader techniques advanced

techniques of heisters and in this chapter we're going to talk about a variety of you know tricks

of the trade that crews used to get past bank security, as well as some

more technical and cool heister hacks that get them to that sweet loot, you know?

Yeah, and we really can't talk about kind of these other new advanced techniques without

kind of going back to one of the earliest and coolest devices that we came

across. And one of the first that really kind of game the system with stealth rather than just

brute force. And that was the little joker. This is a tool we talk a lot about on our podcast. It's not

known who invented this little gizmo, but we do know it was made famous by the godfather of bank heisters.

George is a godfather or grandfather?

I never know.

He's an important.

Yeah, I don't know.

He's an important one.

George Leslie, we've admired him many a times in many of our podcasts.

And in post-Civil War, New York, George Leslie used this device to pull off

some of the biggest heists in history. So the little Joker is a device. It's made of a tin wheel

and a little needle. And this thing is able to record the numbers of a combination lock on a vault.
