DIRTY GETAWAY
The most important aspect of a heist is the planning. If you aren't fully prepared for a full range of potential situations, you will inevitably fail. You need to have contingencies in place, you need to have a backup plan, and an escape clause. You need to be prepared for any eventuality to ensure that you succeed.
The heist itself is the easy part, as long as you appreciate that the devil truly is in the details.
The problem is, there are some occasions you can never plan for. Most aspiring thieves believe that a crime should be committed under the cover of night. Of course it makes sense, but people tend to be at their most vigilant when suspicious activities are being committed in the dark.
In my experience, it is easier to execute your plan in broad daylight. If you walk right into your selected scene of crime, make it look like you have every right to be there, the average person will not question your presence.
The problem is, you can't plan for everything. Weather is something you can never plan for, and although we had accommodated a number of different scenarios, we did not take into account the light dusting of snow that fell overnight. Snow means evidence. We will inevitably leave traces of our presence here: footprints, hand prints, all manner of evidence.
Still, our window is small. It has to be today. When in doubt, create a plan C. In this case, we will buy new shoes, cheap generic ones that will be harder to trace. Each of us will where the same shoes, in the same size. That will make the prints more confusing than anything. Was there a single person on the scene, or multiple suspects?
We get in, acquire the item, and get out. No questions, no suspicions, no doubts, and no easy evidence. It almost seems to easy; and that's the other thing you need to be careful of. If it seems like it will be too easy, then it probably is.
Regardless, today is the day, and we will succeed. That is what we came here to do.
