Wired has an excellent article online entitled Art of the Steal, which details the exploits of Gerald Blanchard - a master thief. The article is well written and very interesting, but what I found most interesting was the bank that his trouble with the Winnipeg police started - the Polo Park CIBC.

Many years ago I went dumpster diving in the industrial area along the east side of Waverly street. I found a few interesting things, a desk at Manitoba Hydro, some computer chassis, but the real winner was a set of blue prints. You can probably see where this is going, but I had found a full set of blueprints for the soon to be built CIBC Polo Park branch.

When I found them I thought "I could plan the perfect heist with these!" but ended up putting them up on my bedroom wall for several years. It's really funny now to think that someone at that time was actually planning to rob that bank and did a fairly good job of it.
