Oops šŸ˜‰ did you lose something? I think this had to be a former Loomis employee to know their money transfer routine this well. Itā€™ll be interesting to see how this story unfolds in the next few days. > **[Man posing as security guard steals $75,000 from Oklahoma Wal-Mart](https://www.yahoo.com/news/man-posing-security-guard-steals-75-000-oklahoma-183835410--finance.html)** > > A man dressed as a security guard walked out of an Oklahoma Wal-Mart with $75,000 in cash, a crime that went undetected until the real security guards showed up later to transport the money, police said on Monday.

local news has photo of the man and his car. [http://www.newson6.com/story/29475080/man-poses-as-armored-truck-driver-steals-75k-from-bristow-walmart-police-say](http://www.newson6.com/story/29475080/man-poses-as-armored-truck-driver-steals-75k-from-bristow-walmart-police-say) His outfit doesnā€™t look much like the Brinks security uniforms Iā€™ve seen. Iā€™ve seen Brinks guards and their truck at Kroger a couple times. Iā€™m not familiar with Loomis. ---

I could see him passing as a pick-up guard if I stretch it a little. More likely it was doing it at the right time and place and knowing where to go. Someone somewhere had to have some serious insider info. ---

> [@news story](#): > > He was driving a newer-model Chevrolet Malibu that was all black, including the wheels. The turnpike authority has been notified in an effort to track the vehicle. > > Federal authorities have moved in on the investigation due to the size of the theft, police said.

Itā€™s gotta suck to have a black, tinted-window Malibu in that area these days? How many times do you think the guy/gal who looks nothing like the person in the surveillance photo is going to be pulled over in a felony stop just because they have a similar car? ---

> [@aceplace57](#): > > I think this had to be a former Loomis employee to know their money transfer routine this well. Maybe not. I recall a late ā€˜70s robbery of a Sears store in suburban Philadelphia by a local high school principal (Jay Smith) who posed as a Brinksā€™ guard and got away with $50,000 (a followup robbery attempt using the same M.O. was unsuccessful). The crimes were later detailed in Joseph Wambaughā€™s book (and a TV series), [ā€œEchoes In The Darknessā€](http://www.timesherald.com/article/JR/20040705/NEWS01/307059996). ---

You have to love the stones on this guy! Part of me wants to believe that since he was voluntarily given the money that he shouldnā€™t be held accountable! šŸ™‚ For Godā€™s sake, the person who gave him the money should be held partly accountable!
