Reminds of a great old movie; “A Man, A Woman, and A Bank.” No spoiler, because they explain the plot in the first five minutes of the movie.
Two engineers see that a giant bank has decided to build their brand new headquarters downtown. They plan to sneak in and steal the plans for the security system before it’s installed. It’s much easier to break into a construction site than a completed bank.

CarbonIceDragon ( @CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social ) English25•2 months agoHow honest is this detective? Perhaps one can simply offer them 50k of the resulting prize money to not look too hard.

🇰 🔵 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 ℹ️ ( @Kolanaki@yiffit.net ) English12•2 months agoThe detective… Is he like a Clouseau or a Columbo type? If the former, I could leave it in plain sight and still get the $100k but if it’s the latter, I might as well confess the moment he walks in the door because there’s nowhere I could hide it he wouldn’t sniff it out and make me incredibly uncomfortable as he toys with me for hours before going in for the kill.
Or I could just toss it into a drawer with a million other paperclips and he’d never know which one is the one he’s looking for.
