Sorry, the bank is closed due to 'communications problems' with the corporate office, and by 'communications problems' we mean we can't hear anything because someone blasted a hole in the wall and cleaned out the safe

That's only a couple miles from my house. I go by that shopping center regularly. Interesting. Wonder if anyone I know of was involved.

Once inside, they tore open the ATMs and stole all of the cash.
Kudos. That's not easy. ATMs are essentially safes with a computer bolted on top of it.

The festival was over and the boys were all planning for a fall
The cabaret was quiet except for the drilling in the wall
The curfew had been lifted and the gambling wheel shut down
Anyone with any sense had already left town
He was standing in the doorway looking like the Jack of Hearts.

Police say the bank robbers disarmed the alarm system and also cut the feed to the bank's surveillance cameras before breaking in.
It's good to see Americans taking pride in their work again. Not too long ago, this would have been done by some redneck who backed his truck through the front window and left his bumper and license plate behind after staring directly at the camera for a good 10 seconds.

Looks like it's one in a series; at least one, maybe two, other hits in the DC area. I can't decide whether to sit back and be impressed that they're making a movie-style B&E actually work or place bets on how long before they're caught.

I'm from the Maryland side of DC but I'd gladly drive down to make fun of you for living in Virginia, for your horrendous driving, for not having a football team but having a NASCAR track, for saying "Northern Virginia is different than the rest of Virginia", for the "Shore". After which you can all make fun of me for my horrendous driving, for Balmore, for the Ravens, for PG County, for Marion Barry, for the word Hon, for the "Shore". Then all those who are native can make fun of all us pompous jerks who moved here on purpose for jobs. Then all of us will make fun of the worthless sacks who couldn't manage to move away from this shiat hole. Then we can all make fun of the Redskins.

I was with you to that point. I have nothing against the Redskins. Their fans, on the other hand, deserve as much derision as possible heaped upon them for taking fanatacism to the extreme.

Except loss of communication is a fault and for a bank it would be treated as an alarm and a response would be sent.

Which means you have to know the response time.
