News Disney Springs Robbery Turns Bizarre With Scuba Gear Getaway

Self contained underwater breaking-in apparatus.

This is EXACTLY what happens when all your security is tied up screening guests, strollers and backpacks looking for contraband…

I expect anyone with any scuba or snorkeling gear in their backpacks will be instantly thrown to the ground, arrested, interrogated and perma-banned from Disney property!

 

[larryz]

Hey, just because they confiscated your tins of krill last time you went there...

 

[EagleScout610]

They must've rolled some really good stats for something this crazy to work AND for them to get away.

 

[Figments Friend]

Definately had the element of surprise, ya gotta admit.

Disney has a gaping hole in their security - scuba divers arriving out of nowhere. Slackers, Disney, slackers. LOL

How deep is the lake? Like 6 feet?

They’re just lucky the guard LEGO sea serpent was sleeping at the time

That sea serpent needs to be more vigilant next time-all it needed to do is to be in a position to have the diver step on him with his bare feet, and the whole situation would have been different.

What if this is just a publicity hoax to push the "go cashless" incentive?

Well the disney corpse turbine should be working again at a faster pace as walt continues to spin in his grave though this will certainly increase the momentum a little.

Faking a robbery, either just a report or otherwise, is a crime...

I bet the guy has an underwater base and Buzzy is in it too.

 

[lazyboy97o]

My theory: all three were in on it. Guy never actually was in the water, he’s an employee, came to work with the scuba suit in his bag, charged somewhere on the “vessel”, made sure a security camera caught him in his getup, “stole” the money, changed back into regular clothes somewhere and walked out with all the other restaurant staff from across the park like normal.

I think I’m inclined to agree. Although I have to admit that it would be pretty impressive if true (but remember kids, stealing is wrong even if done in a cool way).

This seems like it would have required a good bit more gear than just SCUBA equipment. Village Lake is pretty murky, so it seems like a decent light would have been required to actually be under the water. And then there’s the distance to actually swim somewhere else.

A decent nav board would be it. If it was luminous no light necessary. Count your kicks and follow your bearing.

Could a submersible be put in somewhere "remote" on property and then be used to enter a park? Are the waterways connected enough to do that?

There’s a lot of damns and filtration systems that would make it difficult

I believe a submersible was attempted to rid World Showcase Lagoon of the floating tacos and the Stargate.

Would be tough logistically but I think with the right plan - it could work.

Might need one of those boring machines like they had in the Ocean’s movies. You know, La Foreuse B600. Or maybe borrow one from Musk.
