Reply to comment by IBeTrippin in TIL that in 2005 burglars stole $71.6 million from a bank in Fortaleza, Brazil by setting up a fake landscaping company near the bank and digging a 256ft tunnel beneath two city blocks to the bank over 3 months. Neighbors noticed vanloads of soil removed daily but assumed it was business-related. by Lagavulin16_neat

Nah, to really do it right, the dirt should have been used for some second major heist, this one requiring a large amount of dirt. For example, maybe constructing a large earthen ramp against a prison yard wall, in an elaborate attempt at freeing a partner of theirs.
