News Disney Springs Robbery Turns Bizarre With Scuba Gear Getaway

[Fox&Hound]

Would like to know where the thief put the money for the escape swim in the waterway.
I mean, $10,000 to 20,000 in cash is a lot of paper bills to fold up…and it will all become wet…and heavier to carry.

Stash it in a Tupperware container to keep it dry…?
Or just stuff it all in your wetsuit….?
Maybe just toss it all in a plastic bag…and once you arrive home spin the money in the laundry dryer…?
Perhaps as others have already suggested, he never went in the water to escape and walked out with the other employees.
High n’ dry.

Inquiring minds want to know.

That’s one way to launder money!

$20,000 in $100 bills is only 200 separate bills, or two stacks (like what comes from a bank) of cash. $20000 in 20s is 1,000 separate bills or 10 stacks. Easily able to be carried by simply placing it at your midsection. It isn’t as hard as you all think.

A restaurant isn't only going to have $100 bills.

A restaurant isn't only going to have $100 bills.

But it’s going to have a lot of twenties. And given the max is 20,000, still not as bulky as you think.

He didn’t say they would.

 

[Figments Friend]

I am assuming the $10k to 20k was a variety of bills.
If this is cash at a restaurant, you would have multiple denominations.

But perhaps this restaurant kept only larger bills in the safe.
Some businesses do this to purposely keep the smaller bills in the registers for making change.

But again, the fact the thief would know about them having large bills would seem to suggest they had knowledge about this beforehand.

But this is just guessing at this point.
None of us really know what went down and until more info comes forward all we can do is guess scenarios.

Remember the dolphins in the tank?
Fully trained and on patrol now. Little too late but.....

Ironically enough im pretty sure a CM once said to me that the oldest of the 3 dolphins was actually a former navy bomb detection dolphin and they didn't really talk about it in the info talks.

I'm not sure if that's a myth or not... But given that the Navy did have a presence in what is now Baldwin Park, I can't really be surprised if it was true.

 

[Smiley/OCD]

The other thing with this is that it’s Disney involved, who knows what’s happened since the initial report and how much Disney is keeping hushed up, we may never know what actually happened.

Buzzy did it….

That explains why it wants to keep charging at Nemo the Ride!!

 

[nickys]

Dry bags are a lifesaver if you go out on the water a lot. I never take my kayak out without it

What about your scuba gear or submersible?

 

[BWW]

I'm more surprised that enough people still pay with cash that there was $20k to steal.

That's what I was thinking!

This is people paying cash at a restaurant. Probably mostly 20’s, with some other denominations.

I have a Polaroid of me in the mid 1990s when I was an assistant manager of a movie theater holding $34k in cash mostly in $20s and smaller denominations which was our largest single deposit. I can't remember what movie had open. This was before we accepted credit cards. It definitely wouldn't be difficult to take $20k in those denominations.

 

[MisterPenguin]

This is what $20K looks like in twenties. Obviously, 50s and 100s would reduce the pile and singles, 5s, and 10s would increase it.

Hmmm . . . and bird that can swim who also happens to have a picture of a large amount of cash shortly after a robbery involving a large amount of cash and an underwater escape.

🕵‍ Where were you on the night of the robbery, Mister Penguin? If that's even your real name!

Rivers of America was really the only in-park body of water that directly connected well outside the park and even then there is a lock behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

There’s a canal that runs around most of Epcot that gets a little remote but I’m doubtful it’s all that deep.

The EPCOT canal doesn't actually connect to World Showcase Lagoon. Crazy bridge/tunnel with a River and pedestrian Walkway on top. The canal and 2 roads under

Yes, it does.

Which is why I said it goes around the park, not into it.

Yes, it does.

It does not. The canal that is along much of the park’s perimeter is separate from the waterway that connects World Showcase Lagoon to Crescent Lake and down to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Thought he was referring to the canal that goes to Epcot resorts and on to DHS.

🕵‍ Where were you on the night of the robbery, Mister Penguin? If that's even your real name!

Couldn't have been me.

1. I don't need a wet suit.

2. I was skimming money from DAK at the time of the incident. I have footage of CC cameras mysteriously turning off to prove it.
