"Police said the thieves had perforated the concrete floor of the vault to get in, but motion sensors inside did not go off."

i would say cutting them would be impossible as youd need to be inside todo it, and being a bank holding that ammount of money id have thought them to have a backup system

The best part
"The theft was not discovered until Monday morning because the bank was closed."
Hum 68 million and 3 days to get away before anybody knows your getting away. Talk about perfect. *Starts digging*

Sorry but I just don't believe this. Brazil is a VERY poor country. I have been there, my wife is Brazilian. 68 Million would be more than their national budget. I seriously doubt there would be that much money in any one place in Brazil. Parts of Brazil are that poor they don't have petrol for the police cars to go on patrol.

Actually, Brasil is one of the biggest countries in the world, but $68 milion is very small (but important and significant) amount of money even for their budget. $68 milion for budget is small for any national budget.
And about Brasil National Bank robbery action - it was really brilliant.
