The Fingerprint That Broke the Perfect Heist

in 1972 thieves pulled off one of the most elaborate bank heists in American history by literally digging their way to $30 million the United California bank vault seemed impossible to crack multiple security systems thick concrete walls round the clock surveillance but a crew of professional burglars had a different plan entirely they spent three months digging a tunnel from a nearby storm drain straight into the bank's vault they rented construction equipment disposed of tons of dirt without anyone noticing the operation required inside information from a bank employee who knew exactly where to dig on the day of the heist they crawled through the tunnel and emptied the vault complete police discovered the elaborate tunnel only after the robbery no witnesses no alarms triggered no obvious clues the investigation seemed hopeless until forensic experts found a single fingerprint on a flashlight battery left behind in the tunnel that one fingerprint LED investigators to the entire crew the perfect underground heist brought down by forgetting to wipe down a battery
