2025 Ep 320 - Burg Boys!

Hamish, Andy and Jack head to Mildura to test the security of small business accounting firm DHM Partners. With months of planning and full approval from boss Rob, the boys attempt a grand theft auto–style art heist: steal the company Suzuki Swift and nab a stairwell painting without being detected. Expect questionable disguises, bold plans, and the chaos only the trio can deliver. This is BURG BOYS!

  Activate your internet because the Hamish and Andy podcast starts in three... two...

• 0:17Speaker 01

  Sorry, still buffering. One.

• 0:24Speaker 01

  Crime. A hell of a business and not for the faint-hearted. Yet the one area Hamish and Andy have rarely ventured. But all that changed months ago when Hamish saw an old film called Sneakers that we don't in any way expect you to have seen. But the gist is that a crew of professionals are hired by businesses to break into their own places of work to test their security. So Hamish and Andy put out a call.

• 0:53Speaker 02

  This is our plan to test small business security somewhere.

• 0:56Speaker 01

  Which boss out there would secretly nominate their workplace to be burgled without telling their employees?

• 1:03Speaker 02

  We'll go and rob them and it's all a simulation.

• 1:06Speaker 01

  Thousands applied. From the pile, D H M Partners, an accounting firm in Mildura, was selected. The boss ironically named Rob. The target not client information, but something perhaps even more valuable. The company Suzuki Swift and a painting from the stairwell.

• 1:28Speaker 02

  Grand theft auto and an art house.

• 1:30Speaker 03

  I like that.

• 1:32Speaker 01

  Nothing could be discussed publicly by Hamish, Andy and Jack for fear of a tip-off to the staff. But months ago, the planning began.

• 1:42Speaker 02

  Welcome, burg boys. Any of you followed your way here? Well, it doesn't matter because we're recording this in front of signs that say burg bunker.

• 1:49Speaker 01

  Then there were a few months of miscommunications and a few misunderstandings.

• 1:54Speaker 02

  Wasn't someone going to get us the information like blueprints? Where the keys are, the schematics.

• 1:59Speaker 03

  You were in charge of building.

• 2:00Speaker 02

  I said that.

• 2:01Speaker 03

  You said, you said, you said, you definitely said blueprint.

• 2:03Speaker 02

  Why would I say that?

• 2:04Speaker 03

  Well, that's what I was surprised.

• 2:05Speaker 02

  How would I get blueprints?

• 2:06Speaker 03

  I was surprised as well.

• 2:08Speaker 01

  Some mishaps.

• 2:10Speaker 02

  Was that a shiver of excitement or you do need to do a week?

• 2:14Speaker 01

  And a few other things that got in the way for a bit.

• 2:17Speaker 02

  I would like to be an old man.

• 2:19Speaker 04

  I think we don't need it. I don't think we need it either.

• 2:22Speaker 02

  Then may God have mercy on you all.

• 2:25Speaker 01

  But then, a plan was formed. They would fly to Mildura, buy all the necessary equipment to pretend to be from a gas company, hire a van with yellow lights, make a fake business, get an old man mask, seal up the office building before the workers got there, then convince whoever arrived first to let them in so they could steal the painting and hopefully find the Suzuki keys.

• 2:52Speaker 02

  Just commence operation. That's what we say.

• 2:54Speaker 04

  I know, but then you go off and do nothing. You go off and play golf.

• 2:58Speaker 02

  No, I'm the one that bought the job. I bought the job to the crew.

• 3:02Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, I'll get on.

• 3:04Speaker 01

  Sounds easy enough, but in the heist game, things rarely go to plan. It's time to find out what happened during their fateful burglary attempt for the special final episode for 2025. This is Burg Boys.

• 3:27Speaker 02

  Burg Boys, Burg Boys, what you gonna do? What you gonna do when we steal from you?

• 3:35Speaker 05

  We join the boys in the Mildura motel burg bunker. Hamish has just arrived and Jack is off shaving his beard into a moustache to help conceal his identity.

• 3:48Speaker 02

  Can I open this or not?

• 3:49Speaker 04

  What is it?

• 3:50Speaker 02

  Just chocolate. Just a chocolate bar I got from the minibar.

• 3:52Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 3:55Speaker 02

  Time is 21:22. Do you want to do 24 hour clock or just?

• 4:01Speaker 04

  It's night.

• 4:01Speaker 02

  Yeah, well, in 12 hours, we'll be speeding down the highway on a Suzuki Swift, so.

• 4:07Speaker 04

  With as much chocolate as we can get.

• 4:09Speaker 02

  We'll never need to bother about the clock again.

• 4:12Speaker 04

  Um, to paint the picture for from, we're in hotel motel.

• 4:15Speaker 02

  We've got all the gear.

• 4:17Speaker 04

  How are you feeling? Because I heard from Darcy before Jack arrives. I heard from Darcy that he's absolutely shitting himself.

• 4:23Speaker 02

  Jack?

• 4:23Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 4:23Speaker 02

  No surprises.

• 4:24Speaker 04

  And he's been practicing with Darcy, like role play. Is that true, Darcy?

• 4:28Speaker 02

  True. No surprises. Think about Back to the Cool Boys and the front man, everything. What do we know from Jack? He's not a big game player.

• 4:35Speaker 04

  All my point is, is when he gets here.

• 4:38Speaker 02

  Big him up. We have to.

• 4:40Speaker 04

  I think so.

• 4:40Speaker 02

  Oh, we gotta, we have to.

• 4:41Speaker 04

  Or do we want to change the plan?

• 4:42Speaker 02

  No, I like to think of us as a loving, cohesive crime gang.

• 4:47Speaker 04

  Same. But I'd like us to be in charge of specific things. So if things do go awry.

• 4:51Speaker 02

  We know who's at fault. Oh yeah, that's our favourite thing.

• 4:53Speaker 04

  Okay, great.

• 4:56Speaker 02

  Is that Jack?

• 4:57Speaker 04

  It's Jack.

• 4:58Speaker 03

  Do you recognise me?

• 5:00Speaker 02

  That's not enough. It still looks like you've got a beard from the front.

• 5:03Speaker 03

  No, it's a handlebar moustache.

• 5:05Speaker 02

  No, it's not.

• 5:06Speaker 03

  Yes, it is. This is what we talked about me.

• 5:08Speaker 04

  Why did we go with handlebar?

• 5:10Speaker 03

  As a disguise.

• 5:11Speaker 04

  I know, but why handlebar?

• 5:15Speaker 03

  I actually thought I looked very different and I'm wearing my wife's glasses. You didn't mention that.

• 5:20Speaker 02

  We know it's you. We know it's you. We know it's you.

• 5:23Speaker 03

  I know, but you were expecting me.

• 5:26Speaker 02

  I think you said it's Jack.

• 5:29Speaker 04

  I think, I think you were saying, I think even if, even if we'd seen you in the street, we still would have recognised you, but.

• 5:36Speaker 03

  Yeah, but you're a close friend.

• 5:38Speaker 02

  I guess now on the side, it's a bit different. Can you lose this though?

• 5:41Speaker 04

  Why is the handlebar necessary?

• 5:42Speaker 03

  I didn't even want to do this. You guys told me to do this last time we had a meeting.

• 5:47Speaker 02

  Put it back on. Put the beard back on.

• 5:49Speaker 03

  I would have, I would have loved to not shave this. And this is complete opposite to what I thought I'd walk into, which is like, this guy is ready to roll for a county firm.

• 5:59Speaker 04

  It looks like chocolate syrup has gone.

• 6:03Speaker 02

  It's not big enough, Jack. It's too blonde.

• 6:05Speaker 03

  What if I, like, could be run mascara through it or something so it gets thicker?

• 6:10Speaker 02

  Why don't we do it? Why don't we get an eyeliner and do a scar on your cheek? And say you're a pirate gas worker?

• 6:17Speaker 02

  It's on a year eight Halloween costume.

• 6:19Speaker 03

  I was following an instruction.

• 6:20Speaker 04

  Hey, remember what we talked about?

• 6:22Speaker 02

  Oh yeah, it looks great.

• 6:26Speaker 03

  So should I shave the whole thing off?

• 6:27Speaker 02

  Sorry, old habits. Should I shave the whole thing off by morning? I'm worried if you just keep them as such, the handlebar has the most brown of any beard. We can't just keep the handles. I was wondering if for the first time ever, we just have brackets, mouth brackets.

• 6:45Speaker 04

  Again.

• 6:45Speaker 02

  So everything he says is like, I shouldn't be telling you this. Everything Jack says is an aside because he's got mouth brackets. That makes you stand out more.

• 6:53Speaker 04

  That's exactly my point. It makes you stand out more. Okay.

• 6:55Speaker 02

  When the police come, can you describe the guys?

• 6:58Speaker 04

  Guys.

• 6:58Speaker 02

  I can definitely describe one of them. He had mouth brackets. I've never seen those before.

• 7:03Speaker 05

  But the Burg Boys couldn't spend all night on Jack's moustache. They actually needed to finalize the plan.

• 7:11Speaker 04

  I got the blueprint.

• 7:12Speaker 02

  Wow. That was Hamish's job?

• 7:15Speaker 04

  No, remember he passed it back to me?

• 7:17Speaker 02

  Bringing boots was my job and I remembered them. And the old man outfit.

• 7:21Speaker 04

  So there's a couple of things that I want to discuss.

• 7:24Speaker 02

  Where'd you get these?

• 7:25Speaker 04

  I'm not allowed to say.

• 7:28Speaker 04

  Here is one of our first problems. There's three entrances.

• 7:32Speaker 02

  Do we have tape?

• 7:33Speaker 04

  Yes. So.

• 7:35Speaker 02

  Can't we just heavily tape them, don't we, and say, go around to the front?

• 7:38Speaker 04

  So here's where I think we've got three really strong bollards. Have a look at this.

• 7:43Speaker 02

  Yeah. Those are great.

• 7:44Speaker 04

  They're kind of spanned over, over a metre, kind of out to two metres.

• 7:49Speaker 02

  For people listening, it's a very good concertina bollard.

• 7:52Speaker 04

  Yeah. I think we put one over each.

• 7:55Speaker 02

  Of the other doors?

• 7:56Speaker 04

  Each door. I think one over each.

• 7:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, which door are we going in?

• 8:00Speaker 04

  We want to try, and what we would like, Jacko, is for you to get us entry to the front door.

• 8:06Speaker 02

  Getting us entry to the front, but keeping people away from peeking in because my hunch, because it's my job to get the keys to the Suzuki, is basically my tactic is just going to be rummaging.

• 8:16Speaker 04

  So on that ham, I've got a, I thought I had a solution. I've packed two white sheets from the beds at the motel here.

• 8:24Speaker 02

  To steal the painting?

• 8:25Speaker 04

  No, I think we go in.

• 8:26Speaker 02

  Just put them up over the door?

• 8:27Speaker 04

  And I think we put them up over the door as if they're sheets we use to like.

• 8:30Speaker 02

  Protect gas.

• 8:32Speaker 04

  Protect from the gas.

• 8:34Speaker 02

  But people can't see us do our gas work. Yeah, why not?

• 8:36Speaker 04

  Why not? Because otherwise that is really see-through there. And if people mill.

• 8:40Speaker 02

  That's my worry. They're going to see all the rummaging.

• 8:42Speaker 04

  Here's the other problem. The painting's there. They'll be a C S T.

• 8:46Speaker 03

  So yeah, any people, essentially what Andy's saying is any people at the front of the building will be able to see easily through the windows.

• 8:52Speaker 02

  You're gonna have to be projecting a big air of confidence. You happy with that?

• 8:56Speaker 03

  Yes. Can we go back to like before even in the building? Cause I think we should talk about that more because we're just all assuming like we get in the building. But to me, that's kind of the hardest part.

• 9:06Speaker 02

  The biggest part of this house is getting in the building. I think we have to get there early enough that we've barricaded all the.

• 9:11Speaker 04

  So Jack, before we get to that stage, let me show you what we've got. Decals for the truck.

• 9:16Speaker 03

  That's good.

• 9:17Speaker 04

  We've got laminated signs. We'll put them up on each major door. They read, do not enter gas leak with our fake brand that you created, Jack. Well done. That was your homework. Did you use chat G P T?

• 9:27Speaker 03

  Yes, yes.

• 9:30Speaker 02

  Extensively, 100%.

• 9:32Speaker 04

  A G A, Safe Energy. What does A G A stand for? Just in case you quiz.

• 9:35Speaker 03

  Australian Gas Authorities.

• 9:39Speaker 04

  More confidently.

• 9:40Speaker 02

  Authorities. How many are there?

• 9:43Speaker 03

  Australian Gas Authority. Perfect.

• 9:46Speaker 02

  Ironically, said with no authority.

• 9:49Speaker 04

  This building has been sealed as a precaution. Our technicians require access to the building on arrival. Please call a 1-800 number. That is a 1-800 number we've bought that is now linked to my phone. So if anyone calls the number, it will go to my phone.

• 10:02Speaker 03

  So you're gonna be the operator as well as infiltrating the building?

• 10:06Speaker 04

  I was thinking of being the operator. How do you guys feel about that?

• 10:09Speaker 02

  Sure. I mean, do the paperwork.

• 10:11Speaker 03

  But like, yeah, okay. So.

• 10:13Speaker 02

  What voice are you gonna use?

• 10:15Speaker 03

  Ring.

• 10:16Speaker 04

  Hello, Daryl here. A G A. It stands for Australian Gas Authority. Safe Energy.

• 10:22Speaker 02

  Authority or authorities? Cause the guy at the front door just said tees.

• 10:25Speaker 04

  Authority. He doesn't know what he's doing.

• 10:27Speaker 02

  What's with his mustache?

• 10:32Speaker 04

  I think this is a safeguard. What I would prefer is Jack to intercept them.

• 10:36Speaker 02

  Yeah, I'd like us to. Here's my, here's my way of thinking because back to Jack's point of gaining access to the building.

• 10:42Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 10:42Speaker 02

  The building's obviously gonna be alarmed. Like, you know, the last person out at night sets the building alarm.

• 10:46Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 10:47Speaker 02

  So we can't smash a window and just get in the side. Just assuming that the first person on site is the person that opens it up.

• 10:54Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 10:54Speaker 02

  Is the building alarmed? Can you take us in? We will try not to be longer than 20 minutes. Just wait outside. Can you let everyone know? You're gonna have to be doing that. Ideally, I reckon we'll be in the truck.

• 11:05Speaker 03

  Yes, you guys hired, and as the least identifiable person of the three of us, ideally, they walk up to the door, they're reading the sign, I jump out of the van and go, "Hey ho."

• 11:20Speaker 02

  Well, no, not ideally. That's not the ideal.

• 11:26Speaker 04

  Yes, yes, I know what you mean.

• 11:28Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 11:29Speaker 02

  And you've got all night to work on how you're gonna get their attention.

• 11:32Speaker 04

  Now, I heard you've been practising.

• 11:35Speaker 03

  Well.

• 11:35Speaker 04

  Your approach.

• 11:36Speaker 03

  Yes. I've got some things to say if, so I'll go like, "Hello."

• 11:42Speaker 02

  Yes, because we're in Australia and that's a very commonly understood greeting. So that's great.

• 11:48Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's a good start.

• 11:49Speaker 02

  What other phrases have you learnt?

• 11:53Speaker 03

  Alright, look.

• 11:57Speaker 04

  Remember what we talked about?

• 11:58Speaker 02

  It's good.

• 11:59Speaker 03

  Okay. I am not really a good person for this job, right?

• 12:06Speaker 02

  Classic night before, high staccatos.

• 12:10Speaker 04

  You'll be great.

• 12:10Speaker 03

  So you see someone. But I'll go, "I see you've read the sign."

• 12:13Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 12:16Speaker 03

  This is just a usual thing that happens.

• 12:20Speaker 03

  I can see, I can see him giggling. Can you tell him to stop?

• 12:23Speaker 04

  Please, can you stop giggling?

• 12:27Speaker 04

  Okay, he's stopping giggling, you can continue.

• 12:29Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 12:30Speaker 04

  I don't think you should say, "This is a usual thing that happens," just so you know. If you have been practising this all day.

• 12:35Speaker 03

  Oh no, sorry, yeah, no, usual for us, like, hey, we come out to the...

• 12:43Speaker 03

  Like, isn't our job that we come and fix these leaks all the time? Yeah, so to me, this is normal.

• 12:49Speaker 04

  But again, I don't think you need to tell them all of this.

• 12:52Speaker 02

  Tell them what your voice is like.

• 12:53Speaker 04

  You're gonna say, "Oh, hey, I'm glad you're here." Well, sorry, do what you're gonna do.

• 12:57Speaker 03

  So I'll say, "I'm glad you're here. Are you about to gain access to the building? Don't go in there yet. We're not sure 100%, but our system has flagged this building as possibly having a gas leak. Are you able to let me in? We've got some technicians here who can check it out."

• 13:13Speaker 04

  I reckon so much of this is about not the specifics, but about confidence.

• 13:16Speaker 03

  Yeah, great.

• 13:19Speaker 02

  How early are we getting there?

• 13:21Speaker 04

  Five.

• 13:22Speaker 02

  AM.

• 13:23Speaker 04

  What do you think? Someone could start at six.

• 13:26Speaker 02

  At an insur- a accounting firm? Isn't it nine o'clock start?

• 13:29Speaker 04

  Some people like getting in early so they can nick off early.

• 13:32Speaker 02

  Five o'clock?

• 13:33Speaker 04

  Well, I don't think any- I don't thi- I don't think they're getting in early.

• 13:36Speaker 02

  It's an office. Man, I didn't come all the way to Madrid to get up at 4.30 in the morning.

• 13:41Speaker 04

  I think we have to.

• 13:42Speaker 03

  But wait, he's right. What if we're there for four hours before any action?

• 13:45Speaker 02

  Oh mate.

• 13:45Speaker 04

  But what if we're there before any action? The whole thing relies on no one being in.

• 13:50Speaker 03

  He's actually right about if we get there and there's two people in there already.

• 13:53Speaker 02

  Yeah mate, but this is like when my grandparents used to fly international with the airport six hours early.

• 14:00Speaker 04

  I'm happy to adjust. I just think some people get to work at six.

• 14:04Speaker 02

  People do that.

• 14:05Speaker 04

  Yeah, well, I mean, all I'm saying is we are open to that.

• 14:08Speaker 02

  All right, just to start it on the record that I think we could have one extra hour of sleep at least. Then we're allotting, but let's do baker's hours just in case someone's training for a half marathon or something and they they like to leave it to us.

• 14:22Speaker 03

  Well, worst case, like say someone's in the building. Can't we just knock on the door and go, this is not right? No, sorry, there's a gas leak.

• 14:32Speaker 04

  We could, we could.

• 14:34Speaker 02

  Okay, let's get there early. We can't. Because if we get there late, Jack is gonna have to evacuate the building.

• 14:40Speaker 04

  All the props we've bought are more effective when you arrive and go, oh my God, something serious is happening. Opposed to.

• 14:49Speaker 02

  Get out and then we can show you all the props.

• 14:51Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

• 14:53Speaker 02

  This is usual for us.

• 14:58Speaker 02

  All right.

• 14:59Speaker 04

  I'm open to.

• 14:59Speaker 02

  Wow, what an early wake up. What have we got for breakfast stuff?

• 15:02Speaker 04

  We don't have any.

• 15:03Speaker 02

  We don't even have any breakfast. No pre robbery breakfast.

• 15:07Speaker 04

  Well, I mean, a hotel breakfast doesn't open till after six.

• 15:10Speaker 02

  I was just asking for some muesli or something. Do we get any of that today?

• 15:12Speaker 04

  No, got all the props.

• 15:15Speaker 02

  Mate, the only thing to eat in these rooms is the chocolate bar, which I've already eaten.

• 15:18Speaker 04

  I think.

• 15:19Speaker 02

  We will be hungry.

• 15:20Speaker 04

  Look, once.

• 15:21Speaker 02

  We will be so hungry.

• 15:21Speaker 04

  What we could do is set up all of this.

• 15:24Speaker 02

  Let's go to Macca's.

• 15:25Speaker 04

  And then go to Macca's. We leave Jack there.

• 15:28Speaker 02

  Oh, okay, but you'll bring me back something.

• 15:31Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 15:35Speaker 05

  With the all-important breakfast plan sorted, it was time to talk disguises for Hamish and Andy.

• 15:42Speaker 04

  We've got our white outfits.

• 15:46Speaker 04

  We've got our gas masks. We've got our hats. I've got your old man outfit. Why do you need it?

• 15:52Speaker 02

  Well, I have a better old man outfit than that. That's just a wig and some pants.

• 15:56Speaker 04

  Okay, what have you bought?

• 15:58Speaker 02

  Full prosthetic head.

• 15:59Speaker 04

  Right, but why do you need it?

• 16:04Speaker 02

  Don't you think it would be a way bigger effect? If they were like, wait a second, that old man?

• 16:11Speaker 04

  What?

• 16:14Speaker 04

  They haven't met the old man yet.

• 16:15Speaker 02

  So the old man, he comes, he's inside. After we've rummaged, we've got the keys, we've got the painting. I change into the old man outfit. Then I come out the back. That way, no one's going, oh, that's the guys in the white suit. Like, it's not drawing any suspicion. I'm coming out.

• 16:29Speaker 04

  He's not drawing suspicion? Just because it's not the guys in the white suit, it's an old man stealing our car?

• 16:36Speaker 02

  I've put a lot of effort into this old man outfit. I can be an old man in the suit.

• 16:43Speaker 04

  Don't think that helps.

• 16:45Speaker 02

  It's a very, very old man.

• 16:48Speaker 04

  I guess it helps you not look like Hamish Blake in television.

• 16:51Speaker 02

  I could be a very, very old man.

• 16:53Speaker 04

  No, I think there is some sense to like, if you see an old man in the Suzuki Swift opposed to one of the guys in the white outfit.

• 17:02Speaker 02

  Yeah, he's just an old man. He's harmless. It's a harmless.

• 17:04Speaker 04

  But he's driving our car. That makes no sense.

• 17:07Speaker 02

  He must be Rob's dad.

• 17:09Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's what I think. I think there's more sense to that than if he's in one of the white suits. Just.

• 17:19Speaker 05

  But to fully sign off on the old man plan, Hamish went and got changed into the very expensive latex prosthetic mask to see if Andy and Jack approved.

• 17:33Speaker 02

  Don't mind me. Gus man. This is fucking good. This is so good and I should wear it.

• 17:41Speaker 03

  It's like comedy old man. What the hell dude?

• 17:44Speaker 02

  Gus man.

• 17:45Speaker 03

  It's almost Halloween here.

• 17:46Speaker 04

  Yeah, it is. It's like Freddy Krueger.

• 17:48Speaker 02

  If he's walking and I'm just shuffling behind.

• 17:50Speaker 03

  No.

• 17:50Speaker 02

  No one's thinking this is Hamish and Andy. No one.

• 17:53Speaker 03

  You look like a movie villain.

• 17:56Speaker 04

  Yeah, it does look like a Halloween costume, like Freddy Krueger.

• 17:59Speaker 02

  Yeah, you're examining it too. People are just gonna glance at it.

• 18:02Speaker 03

  Especially not with a baseball cap on. It just looks so wrong.

• 18:06Speaker 02

  Well, I actually think a lot of this is about confidence and this makes me confident.

• 18:10Speaker 03

  It should have. If you were standing where we're standing.

• 18:13Speaker 04

  You actually do look a bit like your dad when you took that off.

• 18:19Speaker 05

  With a terrible moustache on Jack and an even more terrible latex old man mask on Hamish, the chance of being caught was high, so Andy was keen to talk getaway plans.

• 18:31Speaker 04

  In success, what does a getaway look like?

• 18:34Speaker 02

  That's a, there's a success getaway, but there's also an emergency getaway.

• 18:38Speaker 04

  It's just an escape getaway. In success getaway?

• 18:40Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 18:41Speaker 04

  Hame's at the back. Are you gonna take off the white suit and just be an old man? Or are you gonna be in the white suit and miss it?

• 18:48Speaker 02

  Once we, once we.

• 18:49Speaker 03

  You just stay old man now.

• 18:51Speaker 02

  Full old man. We're in white suits. We're getting away. Once we've robbed them, that's the victory. I mean, as the Louvre thieves ran off down the street.

• 18:59Speaker 04

  But am I, am I going in?

• 19:00Speaker 02

  You'll come with me.

• 19:01Speaker 04

  The car with Hame?

• 19:01Speaker 03

  If he's got the keys, you go with the Suzuki.

• 19:03Speaker 02

  Made of caulk and meat.

• 19:04Speaker 03

  I'll come out the front if he can't get the keys. Once you guys are out, you give me a code word back the other way.

• 19:08Speaker 04

  And we just leave all the stuff?

• 19:10Speaker 02

  Yeah, we're thieves. The job's done. Get the painting, wrap it in the sheet. We go out the back door to where the Suzuki is. We roll up the garage. It works. You load the painting into the back. I get into the Suzuki. I back out. I yell Cinderella has left the ball to Jack.

• 19:25Speaker 04

  Beautiful. Yep, that's good.

• 19:27Speaker 02

  Then we escape. Jack goes, I'll be back in a minute or whatever. You don't have to pay.

• 19:31Speaker 03

  I'll go, yeah, actually you say that, say that and I'll go.

• 19:33Speaker 02

  Cinderella's left the ball.

• 19:34Speaker 03

  It must be midnight already and that's my cue to get in the car.

• 19:38Speaker 02

  You say that on the radio in front of ten office workers.

• 19:42Speaker 02

  Remember, your earpiece is in your ear, so there not gonna be any here over the radio. So we're like Cinderella's left the ball.

• 19:47Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 19:48Speaker 02

  You go, you just leave. We don't have to keep worrying about these like home and away like acting scenes we have to do in front of everyone.

• 19:57Speaker 04

  Once you've left, you can say whatever you like to us. Let us know.

• 20:01Speaker 02

  No, I say you get back in the van, but I would like a code word for that. That is actually good. If you were like, no one's turned into a pumpkin if we're gonna stick with the Cinderella thing.

• 20:09Speaker 03

  But you're right, by that point, we don't really need a code word.

• 20:10Speaker 02

  That's good though, because we know then you've made it back into the van. And we now have two vehicles, one stolen, one our van on the road. We're getting away from the crime and that is a success.

• 20:19Speaker 03

  What about we call the worker van the pumpkin? And the Suzuki, the princess's carriage?

• 20:27Speaker 02

  Great. Cinderella's left the ball with the princess's carriage.

• 20:30Speaker 03

  Let's play some by ear, because

• 20:32Speaker 02

  Oh, there'll be a lot by ear. I can promise you it won't go like any of the scenarios we've outlined.

• 20:46Speaker 05

  5am, a dark street in Mildura. Three men dressed in white coveralls sit in the front of a white van. Signs adorn the side proclaiming them to be from AGA Safe Energy. Yellow flashing lights illuminate the early morning sky.

• 21:08Speaker 02

  How'd you sleep? Too excited. Jack, I have the moustaches hate better. Yeah, without those handlebars, you look, you look 50. Well, why would I want to look 50? Authoritative. I know, I don't look, I actually look younger, I thought. There's a lot of people around already. Yeah, people were around about, no one's, none that would scream accountant turning up to work for me. And there's joggers and a street sweeper. Hi, um, how's everyone feeling? Everyone feel prepared? Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good. I woke up confident, so don't worry about my part. You've been, you've been great. You feel like you're right in the character? Yeah.

• 21:41Speaker 02

  What's with the shoes, Andy?

• 21:43Speaker 03

  What shoes?

• 21:43Speaker 02

  He's wearing sneakers. We had one job, mate, that was to bring boots. For all your printouts and for all taking all credit for all the props that Jess bought in the meeting last night. You turned up and I looked down and I went, gee, you don't see Mizuno work boots every day. I'm wearing a runner's outfit underneath. Why? If I need to split from you guys. Yeah, he's in like a Nike dry fit shirt. I think that I can just ditch the whole outfit and pretend I'm joking.

• 22:10Speaker 03

  I mean, I can see out of the corner of my eye, your old man mask. I just think that's way much of a bigger red flag than the shoes. So much more.

• 22:20Speaker 02

  I agree.

• 22:21Speaker 03

  I was hoping, I was kinda hoping that you would get up this morning and go, don't worry about it. I was jet lagged or whatever last night.

• 22:28Speaker 02

  Send you to Mudgeura. Do you know what? I am, I'm going in the old man because I think it adds a huge level of security to us and I will be taking a personal sacrifice for it because I've realised I'm going to be sitting in the truck for about two hours in the old man mask. It's going to be so hard to eat Snickers and drink coffees through those rubber lips. I think I'm going to rip the head off when I get inside because I think I'll be so sick of it by the time I get in there. But what does it do?

• 22:51Speaker 03

  That could be your call card and you're going to leave, you're going to leave the head in.

• 22:55Speaker 02

  No, why, it's far too expensive. It buys us, it's probably worth more than the Suzuki. It buys us those crucial few seconds as we're walking in and it backs you up. Backs you up as someone looks over and goes, oh, they've got a lot of weight.

• 23:06Speaker 03

  You're not the weirdest looking person I've seen today.

• 23:10Speaker 02

  Takes a bit of hate.

• 23:11Speaker 03

  We're going to have a drink, you've lost your wife's glasses.

• 23:14Speaker 02

  It's not about individual suspicion, it's about as a collective, do we look believable? Yeah, I think so because that way we're not all the same age and we've got an old man in the crew. Why would someone go, I don't believe this because you guys are all the same age? Well, they're not going to say that.

• 23:28Speaker 03

  Mate, we're only going to run out of time. We've got to go check it out.

• 23:31Speaker 05

  Driving slowly past the target location, the Burg boys began to see their plans materialise before them.

• 23:39Speaker 03

  Is this one of the doors too?

• 23:40Speaker 02

  Yeah, this is another entrance.

• 23:42Speaker 03

  Alright, let's start boliding. Okay, great. What are we putting? Did anyone bring blue tack or sticky tape for the sign?

• 23:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 23:48Speaker 03

  Great. What do you reckon, blue tack or sticky tape? I've got both.

• 23:51Speaker 02

  Blue tack's good. Don't run off.

• 23:55Speaker 02

  Andy, come on, we can do this.

• 24:01Speaker 02

  We're on, we're on. We're on. Just remember, we're basically on from here, from now. Anything could happen from here.

• 24:11Speaker 02

  Bollard wanted to go. I've got around the back with this one. Bollard two deployed.

• 24:17Speaker 05

  Front and side doors secured with emergency tape, Bollards, and a warning notice. But their blind spot still remained: The rear door into the car park.

• 24:28Speaker 06

  Jack, what the hell's going on back there? Bollard three at the back door, but there is no sign of the Suzuki Swift back here, unless it's in the carport, which is separate from the building. Say again, the princess's carriage is not at the ball? Unless it's in Prince Charming's garage. Oh my God. Yeah, I'm with Prince Charming here, haven't seen it. But you'll need, you definitely will be needing to look for some sort of garage opener, as well if you want to escape with the Suzuki. Copy that, we're coming to you.

• 25:08Speaker 05

  Entrances all successfully barricaded. What followed was a 15-minute discussion about where to park the van.

• 25:15Speaker 04

  I was thinking how if we park over there?

• 25:16Speaker 02

  Nah, I think we should put it on the corner so we see both entrances. Or do you want the van out the front with the lights on, Jack, for more? I think lights flashing is good. Do you want the van just sort of parked up there with the lights on? We won't be able to see this.

• 25:30Speaker 03

  Why don't we just park up here a bit illegally because we've got the lights on?

• 25:34Speaker 05

  After much...

• 25:35Speaker 02

  I think we just have to do the front.

• 25:36Speaker 05

  Much...

• 25:37Speaker 02

  Park over here.

• 25:37Speaker 03

  I like up on the curb.

• 25:39Speaker 05

  Much discussion.

• 25:40Speaker 02

  There's no way the Louvre guys did this on the morning of the night.

• 25:45Speaker 04

  Outside the venue.

• 25:46Speaker 02

  Standing outside, arguing where we're going to put the cherry pick up.

• 25:50Speaker 05

  They eventually parked right out the front, 20 metres from the front door. They then proceeded to admire their heisting handiwork from the footpath, until they noticed something right above the front door.

• 26:02Speaker 04

  Looks like the security camera at the top there.

• 26:05Speaker 02

  We're all staring at it. Wish I'd put the mask on.

• 26:18Speaker 02

  Anyway, hey guys, there's a car there, there's a car there, look official.

• 26:23Speaker 05

  Spooked by the CCTV, the Burg Boys retreated to the safety of the pumpkin. Or rather, the van.

• 26:31Speaker 04

  Should I sit in the back of the van in case someone does call? Because if they turn around and I'm on the phone and they're at the front door.

• 26:37Speaker 03

  No, you guys should be waiting in the van the whole time.

• 26:40Speaker 04

  Inside the van?

• 26:41Speaker 03

  Yeah, you don't want to be seen.

• 26:43Speaker 02

  I agree.

• 26:44Speaker 04

  Yeah, okay, we'll get in the back.

• 26:45Speaker 03

  Wait, should I like have a turn of driving? Because I haven't driven it yet and like what if I gotta get away?

• 26:51Speaker 02

  Why do you need a turn of driving? Oh, because you're gonna drive as a getaway driver?

• 26:54Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 26:55Speaker 04

  Yeah, but it's a car.

• 26:56Speaker 03

  Yeah, but yesterday when, because we got here early, we went to play golf. We sat, Darcy and I sat in the car for like 20 minutes trying to turn it on.

• 27:05Speaker 04

  This car?

• 27:06Speaker 03

  We had the wrong car keys because we had the other van.

• 27:11Speaker 02

  Well, do you want me to?

• 27:12Speaker 03

  That obviously won't happen, but you know, just like sometimes in a high car, you don't know.

• 27:16Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 27:17Speaker 03

  You don't know what's going on.

• 27:18Speaker 02

  Oh man, I need a coffee. I can't even get them.

• 27:23Speaker 04

  I think, I'm confident you'll know how to drive a car.

• 27:26Speaker 05

  But Jack wasn't confident, so he did go for a test drive.

• 27:30Speaker 04

  Test drive of the pumpkin commencing.

• 27:32Speaker 05

  Meanwhile, Hamish put on his old man mask so he wouldn't be recognised on the street.

• 27:37Speaker 04

  Now we're out in like proper daylight. Yeah, and I can see your youthful skin and eyes underneath the, see it?

• 27:45Speaker 02

  Yeah, I know what you mean.

• 27:47Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 27:50Speaker 02

  I look a bit like E.T.

• 27:52Speaker 04

  Yeah, you look like E.T. And then, oh, Jack.

• 27:54Speaker 03

  Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, stop.

• 27:56Speaker 04

  Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. You didn't close the side door of your car.

• 28:04Speaker 04

  You are so scary.

• 28:05Speaker 02

  I think I'm gonna take the old man suit off. Huge moment, but I think I've gotta lose the old man outfit. It's a two man.

• 28:13Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 28:13Speaker 02

  I don't know why you think I'll be shocked, I've been saying that since 10 o'clock last night.

• 28:17Speaker 04

  Are you comfortable with the car? Let's get it back in and let's go back to being properly.

• 28:20Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 28:21Speaker 04

  Jump in the car with Jack until we can park it up.

• 28:24Speaker 02

  Do a costume change, right out the front.

• 28:28Speaker 04

  Abort, abort, abort.

• 28:29Speaker 02

  Get in the car.

• 28:31Speaker 04

  Why am I getting in the car?

• 28:32Speaker 02

  He's gonna go for a practice lap. No, he's done his lap, he's called it out. Do your lap.

• 28:38Speaker 06

  Just give me one lap, I'll be back in a second. No one's coming yet, not even 6am.

• 28:45Speaker 02

  This is the most dangerous time and now you've got no disguise outside.

• 28:52Speaker 05

  As the sun began to rise, the conversation alternated between how hungry they were.

• 28:58Speaker 04

  Do you wanna go through Mack as in the Suzuki?

• 29:00Speaker 02

  That'd be a nice little victory lap, wouldn't it?

• 29:02Speaker 05

  And how terrible Hamish's old man mask was.

• 29:05Speaker 02

  I gotta say, I'm not feeling nude as hell without the old man mask on, but having seen it in the daylight, it was a bit old. I get it.

• 29:13Speaker 04

  Yeah, it was far worse when we saw it in daylight. Like last night, I was tired, but I think it was quite convincing last night, Jack, wasn't it?

• 29:21Speaker 03

  I wouldn't even use that language. After him having it on for five minutes and then putting the gas mask on to cover most of it and a cap on to cover the other half, it might be from far away a real person, but it never looked convincing.

• 29:36Speaker 02

  Yeah. It is a bit rubbery.

• 29:41Speaker 04

  What are our names? I don't think we've ever covered that off.

• 29:43Speaker 02

  We're Blink 102.

• 29:44Speaker 03

  Yeah, Mark, Tom and Travis.

• 29:46Speaker 04

  Well, who's who?

• 29:46Speaker 03

  Who do you wanna be?

• 29:48Speaker 02

  I'll be Trav.

• 29:48Speaker 03

  You know what, I should be Travis because he joined the band last and you guys, you, Hamish and Andy, who was together and then I came.

• 29:54Speaker 04

  Who's the drummer?

• 29:55Speaker 03

  Travis, yeah, he joined last.

• 29:57Speaker 02

  Definitely Travis, definitely Travis. Doesn't matter.

• 29:59Speaker 03

  I think that's true, actually.

• 30:01Speaker 02

  We are not.

• 30:02Speaker 03

  But you know what, Mark and Tom were friends from like high school and that's sort of like you and Andy. And Travis came later.

• 30:09Speaker 02

  I'll be Tom. What does he do? Andy's middle name's Thomas, I'm a drummer, so I'm Trav.

• 30:13Speaker 03

  Yeah, Tom's the lead singer and guitarist.

• 30:15Speaker 02

  Okay, what are you?

• 30:17Speaker 03

  I'm Mark then, if you're Travis.

• 30:19Speaker 02

  Yeah, you're the bassist.

• 30:19Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 30:20Speaker 02

  Opus.

• 30:20Speaker 03

  Yeah, well done.

• 30:22Speaker 02

  I'm very good with names and bases.

• 30:25Speaker 03

  And he wears glasses, and I've got glasses on today as a disguise.

• 30:29Speaker 02

  I don't know why we need our aliases to line up with our personalities.

• 30:35Speaker 03

  Okay, but yeah, that's good. Mark, Tom, Travis, great.

• 30:38Speaker 05

  Well, I'm sure those names won't get confusing in the heat of the moment at all. Forty-five minutes in, time for a perimeter check.

• 30:47Speaker 06

  How's everything looking out there, Mark? Good traps, no sign of people yet, but I would say the bollards we put up look very convincing. Thanks, mate. No one at front door, moving to side door. Would my character look at their phone a bit? Mate, if I was you, I'd be on the phone the whole time. On a call or like looking on online? Just scrolling through new bass guitars, strings, picks, things like that. Side door clear, moving to rear entrance. One, two, three, four, copy that, Mark. Hey, Mark, I'm wondering who the risks were you on?

• 31:22Speaker 06

  McLaughlin, Hush Brown, make a weak coffee. A weak coffee? Yeah, I get jittery if I drink straight coffee. I want it for the prop, because I think it'll look convincing for my character, but I don't like to drink coffee. We're gonna get you a tea just so you don't scream and kiss the first person you see. Rear entrance abandoned, or like, like no one's here, I mean. I mean, that's one of the risks we run is we've got here so early. We're gonna run down all the batteries and all the microphones and everything before anyone gets here.

• 31:55Speaker 05

  But the batteries were running strong, and the confidence of the Burg Boys was starting to ride high, too.

• 32:02Speaker 03

  I'll just say the setup looks great, like the van with the flashing lights.

• 32:06Speaker 02

  We're ready.

• 32:07Speaker 03

  All the bollards put up.

• 32:09Speaker 02

  We're ready.

• 32:09Speaker 03

  Like, there's no reason not to believe this.

• 32:12Speaker 02

  Jack, you should completely believe we have the full upper hand, have the element of surprise and convince. We're gonna be fully convincing here.

• 32:20Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 32:20Speaker 05

  But part of a heist is the waiting, and the conversations that happen during the waiting. So over the next hour, the boys covered such topics as the local area.

• 32:31Speaker 03

  Is Sun Raisier the area?

• 32:33Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 32:34Speaker 03

  Because I always thought it was the Sultana brand.

• 32:36Speaker 02

  Yeah, I had the same question when I was up here.

• 32:39Speaker 05

  Their golf games.

• 32:40Speaker 02

  I haven't chipped in for years.

• 32:42Speaker 03

  And in fact, I had a chip in the other day, I had a chip in birdie.

• 32:44Speaker 05

  The weather.

• 32:45Speaker 02

  We arrived in a massive dust storm yesterday. Oh really? Yeah. Couldn't see a thing.

• 32:52Speaker 02

  Do you swim still a lot, Andy? No, haven't been at all, probably get back in work. Oh, you might get a run in today.

• 33:01Speaker 02

  What was your first family car you ever bought?

• 33:03Speaker 03

  Turk, Mercedes.

• 33:04Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 33:05Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 33:06Speaker 02

  Then we bought the Magna Executive because we needed a car to drive from Melbourne to Exmoora 88. That's a, that's a nice car.

• 33:13Speaker 03

  I was at Exmoora 88 as a one-year-old or two-year-old.

• 33:17Speaker 05

  But at a moment's notice, they snapped back to the task at hand.

• 33:21Speaker 06

  Guys, we could be on here, we could be on here, car entering the car park. Good luck, Jack, good luck. Feeling confident? You got this, bud. See your speed difference, you use, you got a few technicians round the corner. You're gonna, you're gonna fit it out. Close alarm? He's gone. It was a good test to see how hot my heart rate went up.

• 33:43Speaker 05

  And if Jack's heart rate went up on a false alarm, imagine what it did when this happened.

• 33:49Speaker 02

  Cops are in the area, Jack, just play it calm.

• 33:52Speaker 06

  Say again, the cops were here?

• 33:56Speaker 06

  What code name should we give the cops?

• 33:59Speaker 02

  The Blue King has arrived at the ball.

• 34:02Speaker 02

  Yeah, great, not a character from Cinderella, but still work. I mean, could just be the regular king, but I think the Blue King helps us remember it's police, right? Yep, copy. Every time Jack says "copy", I think he's saying "coffee" and I get excited.

• 34:16Speaker 05

  However, just moments after the coffee delivery did arrive, it looked like the heist might be on.

• 34:23Speaker 06

  Potential target, potential accountant crossing the road. We're on, we're on, we're on. We're on, we're on. Should I hold my coffee or not hold coffee? I'll hold it.

• 34:35Speaker 05

  After no action for an hour and a half, suddenly, two female employees had turned up at the same time, wearing D H M Partners uniforms.

• 34:45Speaker 06

  Good luck, you bro.

• 34:47Speaker 05

  They crossed the road towards the entrance and Jack approached.

• 34:52Speaker 03

  Good.

• 34:52Speaker 00

  You want to go in?

• 34:53Speaker 03

  G'day, are you working here, are you?

• 34:54Speaker 00

  Yes, we do.

• 34:55Speaker 03

  Hey, I'm Mark, nice to meet you.

• 34:56Speaker 00

  Hi, I'm Tamika, how are you doing?

• 34:58Speaker 03

  Tamika, yeah. You've got a potential gas leak here.

• 35:01Speaker 00

  Oh shit.

• 35:02Speaker 03

  Yes, so it's not safe to be in there for a long time, so our techs are gonna go in.

• 35:09Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 35:11Speaker 00

  There's a potential gas leak, eh?

• 35:13Speaker 03

  Mmm.

• 35:14Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 35:15Speaker 03

  So...

• 35:16Speaker 00

  How did that get detected?

• 35:18Speaker 03

  It gets detected at head office. They can like, they just can tell that something's drawing gas when it shouldn't be.

• 35:25Speaker 00

  Right, okay.

• 35:26Speaker 03

  So it could be nothing, but it's best our guys go in.

• 35:29Speaker 00

  Of course.

• 35:30Speaker 03

  They'll do a test and then, you know, it could be 10 minutes later you're back in again.

• 35:33Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah.

• 35:36Speaker 03

  But...

• 35:37Speaker 00

  Okay. I think I have said to you once that I reckon I could smell gas. And that's, and this is a while back, but, I don't know. I'm just gonna call Rob. Yeah.

• 35:48Speaker 03

  Yeah, sure.

• 35:49Speaker 00

  Just let him know.

• 35:50Speaker 06

  Get access.

• 35:52Speaker 00

  So are they in there now?

• 35:54Speaker 03

  No, no, we actually need to get access. So we've been trying to call your guys, but having trouble getting on to anyone.

• 36:00Speaker 00

  Oh, okay. Oh, it's Sophie that went here.

• 36:04Speaker 03

  Yeah. Yeah, it is actually, we've been here since about 5am.

• 36:07Speaker 00

  Oh shit.

• 36:08Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 36:10Speaker 06

  You have to convince the woman on the phone that you need access.

• 36:14Speaker 03

  So is there...

• 36:15Speaker 06

  You're doing great, you're doing really, really well.

• 36:17Speaker 03

  Is there a security code or anything that you needed to turn off?

• 36:22Speaker 00

  We can just unlock the door. Well, I can unlock it if you want.

• 36:26Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'll wait out, these guys will go in, I'll wait out here with you guys. I can move this for you now, thank you. That was just in case we weren't watching while someone came and we didn't know which entrance someone would come in.

• 36:37Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 36:37Speaker 03

  I'll peel that off for you as well.

• 36:40Speaker 05

  Jack removed the baller so the employee could access the front door. Would she open up for them? Could it be this easy?

• 36:48Speaker 06

  Guys, a little update, they're buying it, that's for a good thing. And one of the girls is on the phone with some sort of basketball manager, just asking questions. Give us him, mate, Jack, give us him.

• 37:00Speaker 04

  Yep, he's opening the baller, she's opening it up.

• 37:02Speaker 02

  All right, all right, here we go.

• 37:05Speaker 03

  Alright, now we're gonna have to walk past the girl with the ponytail. Do not make eye contact. She can make us. We're waiting for Jack's call.

• 37:14Speaker 06

  Yep, the door is unlocked. That's what I can tell you. And as soon as she gets off the phone, I'll start pressuring her to go in. Yeah, for me, you're doing great, mate. You're doing really well, but you need to get them both out the front, and you need to get your technicians in there. Yep, copy that.

• 37:32Speaker 03

  Alright, so is it okay if these guys go in now? Yeah, absolutely, yeah. And how do we just push the doors open, do we? Yeah, just push them open. Yeah, great.

• 37:43Speaker 03

  Alright, fellas, we should be good to go in. We'll see you, mate.

• 37:49Speaker 03

  And can I just get, can I get your guys' name? Yeah, absolutely. And contact, what's your name? I'm Tamika. And your number, Tamika? 04 double.

• 37:58Speaker 05

  So while Jack distracted the girls out the front, Hamish and Andy, wearing hazmat gear and full respirator masks, made their way inside.

• 38:08Speaker 04

  I'd love to see him.

• 38:11Speaker 05

  The Burg boys were in, and Andy locked the door behind them so they wouldn't be disturbed. First task: put up the sheet to hide them from view.

• 38:20Speaker 04

  Sheet, sheet, sheet. You got tape? You want tape? Yeah. I'll get this up and then we'll put all that stuff in.

• 38:28Speaker 06

  Guys, I can't believe we're in. So cool. Oh my god, it's working. Copy that. Great job, Jack. We're putting the sheet up. I'm about to start rummaging.

• 38:35Speaker 05

  But then, in a moment of déjà vu, they looked up above the reception desk and saw two security cameras blinking back at them.

• 38:46Speaker 04

  They're our security cameras, mate.

• 38:48Speaker 02

  They're our security cameras.

• 38:49Speaker 04

  We're just playing on, playing on.

• 38:51Speaker 06

  I'm just doing a pass, past the front window just to see if I can see anything. I can't see a thing in there, so don't rummage away.

• 38:59Speaker 05

  Ignoring the CCTV, and with the sheet in place, Andy turned his attention to the painting, and Hamish was laser-focused on finding the Suzuki keys and garage opener.

• 39:11Speaker 06

  Commencing rummaging.

• 39:20Speaker 06

  Just a heads up, they said their director's on his way down. So, let's keep that 10 minute timeline, hey?

• 39:29Speaker 02

  Oh my god, I found some keys.

• 39:30Speaker 04

  Your keys?

• 39:31Speaker 02

  It's Suzuki.

• 39:32Speaker 04

  Is it?

• 39:33Speaker 02

  I've got the Suzuki keys!

• 39:35Speaker 04

  Holy m***. You've taken the painting off? Okay, I've got the painting. Let's wrap this.

• 39:39Speaker 06

  Jack, Cinderella has the magic flipper. Cinderella has the glass flipper. I have the keys. You're kidding me? Well done. And you can look for any kind of garage opener?

• 39:51Speaker 04

  It's a garage opener, isn't it?

• 39:52Speaker 02

  We have the garage opener now. We've got to move through the building.

• 39:55Speaker 06

  Cinderella taking glass flipper out the back to Prince's carriage to see if we can get it out of the stables.

• 40:02Speaker 04

  Okay, straight down the back door.

• 40:05Speaker 02

  Heading out now.

• 40:06Speaker 04

  It's like a back exit here. Doesn't look like it's an alarm.

• 40:09Speaker 06

  Cinderella and Prince Charming heading out the back.

• 40:12Speaker 05

  Meanwhile, Jack was still out the front trying to keep the employees busy, but their questions were starting to test the limits of his knowledge.

• 40:20Speaker 00

  So you just get a notification to say that there could potentially be a gas leak? Is that how it works?

• 40:24Speaker 03

  Yeah, well, this one, I think they said this one actually shut the gas off. So it was drawing gas at 3am when it shouldn't be. So the gas was shut off to this building and then these guys will just run a test to see how much pollutants in the air.

• 40:42Speaker 00

  Yeah, okay.

• 40:43Speaker 03

  And then get you back in. But I mean, sometimes we come out and it's been, it's been nothing.

• 40:49Speaker 00

  Been nothing, yeah, yeah.

• 40:51Speaker 05

  Despite having a copy of the blueprints for months, Andy seemed to get them lost between the front door and the back one. Their exit strategy was in trouble.

• 41:01Speaker 04

  Hang on, this is the wrong way.

• 41:02Speaker 02

  No, you're the one that memorized that. No, that's the back door. That's the back window. Prince Charming's later sound the wrong track. Trying to get an exit.

• 41:11Speaker 04

  Here we go.

• 41:13Speaker 02

  That's the store. That's the store.

• 41:14Speaker 04

  It's his exit.

• 41:16Speaker 02

  Mate, sorry, wish Andy had...

• 41:17Speaker 04

  Yeah, we got it here. It's the store.

• 41:18Speaker 02

  Wish Andy had memorized the floorplan better. He's got us out.

• 41:22Speaker 04

  Okay, we're not out the back yet.

• 41:23Speaker 02

  We are not out the back. We're still at the ball.

• 41:26Speaker 04

  Okay, you ready? You got the keys to open the door?

• 41:29Speaker 06

  Prince Charming, Cinderella, please, go.

• 41:31Speaker 04

  Go, open that garage door.

• 41:35Speaker 02

  Is it opening? Carriage is opening. We're out. Suzuki is there. Repeat, the carriage is there, the carriage is there.

• 41:44Speaker 04

  Pop this down, someone put this in. There's no back doors.

• 41:48Speaker 04

  There we go.

• 41:51Speaker 04

  Right.

• 41:52Speaker 05

  They were nearly home. The Suzuki was open. They just needed to load the painting, open the roller door, and speed off to freedom.

• 42:01Speaker 02

  We're just loading the painting in now. Kevin's doing Prince Charming, loading the painting. Cinderella and Prince Charming, preparing to leave the ball.

• 42:08Speaker 05

  However, the last person to drive the Suzuki must have been really short.

• 42:14Speaker 04

  Oh God, so tight.

• 42:16Speaker 02

  It's a really short person who's been driving, I think, here.

• 42:18Speaker 04

  So short, yeah, yeah.

• 42:22Speaker 02

  Have we got everything? Yep.

• 42:26Speaker 04

  Don't celebrate too much.

• 42:27Speaker 02

  Not celebrating yet, not celebrating yet. Alright.

• 42:31Speaker 05

  And suddenly, they were away.

• 42:34Speaker 02

  Backing out safely. Let's close the carriage door.

• 42:39Speaker 06

  You're kidding me, are you driving the Suzuki right now?

• 42:43Speaker 02

  Baby driver, we are out of here, take a left up here, him.

• 42:46Speaker 05

  Jack quickly realised his accomplices were out, leaving him the only guilty party still on sight.

• 42:53Speaker 02

  Cinderella and Prince Charming to Ugly Sister One. We are gone, repeat. Cinderella and Prince Charming have left the ball in the princess carriage, get out of there.

• 43:04Speaker 05

  So he made up a quick lie, jumped in the van, and made a hasty retreat.

• 43:10Speaker 04

  Just gonna move this onto this street here.

• 43:13Speaker 06

  Alright, I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm hearing that you're coming out, I'm leaving. Just leaving the gear behind.

• 43:21Speaker 02

  Guess what?

• 43:23Speaker 02

  It was like three minutes tops. Mate, what are those girls thinking?

• 43:27Speaker 04

  Have we left the other vehicle there?

• 43:29Speaker 05

  They were in and out so quick, they thought maybe they'd left Jack behind in the chaos.

• 43:34Speaker 02

  Jack, you won't fit in our car, you think you're coming to our car, we're gone? Go grab the other car and leave. Jack, are you okay? Confirm, are you okay?

• 43:41Speaker 06

  I can't believe it, I'm right behind Jack, can you hear me?

• 43:43Speaker 02

  Is he behind us?

• 43:44Speaker 04

  He's right behind us, yes! Yes! Yes!

• 43:48Speaker 06

  I can't believe this. Oh my God, well done. Congratulations, everybody.

• 43:53Speaker 03

  Amazing stuff.

• 43:55Speaker 04

  Don't run a red, just be cool everyone, just be cool.

• 43:58Speaker 05

  But they weren't cool for long, for they were successful Burg boys.

• 44:05Speaker 04

  The perfect time, the frigging perfect time.

• 44:13Speaker 05

  But celebrations were short-lived, as they missed the turn-off to their hideout.

• 44:17Speaker 04

  Lefty, man, that's it. That's our hotel.

• 44:21Speaker 02

  Oh, that's our hotel.

• 44:22Speaker 04

  Imagine we got caught now after missing the turn-off to our hideout.

• 44:26Speaker 02

  I didn't realize how close our hotel we were.

• 44:28Speaker 03

  Where are we going, question marks?

• 44:30Speaker 04

  We've got question marks, yeah, we missed that turn-off to that, to the secret hotel.

• 44:35Speaker 03

  Uh, we'll do a lap, guys.

• 44:36Speaker 05

  After doing a blocky in the swift, they eventually arrived back at the motel hideout to regroup and congratulate each other.

• 44:45Speaker 04

  We did it.

• 44:48Speaker 02

  Unbelievable hosting, unbelievable hosting.

• 44:52Speaker 04

  We did it, I can't believe it.

• 44:56Speaker 03

  The car and the painting, and the painting?

• 44:59Speaker 04

  Oh my god.

• 45:00Speaker 02

  Come on, let's get a, let's get a shot with the loot.

• 45:03Speaker 04

  Huge.

• 45:06Speaker 04

  Oh my god. We even took down the sheet inside. You did so good.

• 45:21Speaker 05

  But suddenly, the self-congratulation would have to wait, because Andy's phone was ringing.

• 45:26Speaker 04

  Oh, someone's calling the number.

• 45:28Speaker 05

  Someone back at the building had called the 1-800 number.

• 45:31Speaker 04

  Adrian, safeguard, Damien speaking.

• 45:34Speaker 07

  Hi Damien, it's just me from D H S Partners. I see the guys that are on our site checking.

• 45:40Speaker 04

  Let me see, yeah, we've got a system, our system says we should have three people there at the moment, three technicians there at the moment.

• 45:46Speaker 07

  Yeah, yeah, no, he was just parked out the front and he said he was just moving the van around to the other side. Um, but the van was just gone, so we're just waiting out the front, so I wasn't sure where he went off to, but the guys are obviously still inside, I'm not sure where the van's gone, that's all.

• 46:01Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's still reading his continuous flow from our end of things. Um, yeah, they'll be out soon, I'll, I'll radio them now and make sure they can't see you.

• 46:10Speaker 07

  Okay, of course. No worries. Thanks so much for that.

• 46:13Speaker 03

  Bye.

• 46:16Speaker 02

  Oh man, even though we're finished, we can't stop.

• 46:19Speaker 03

  Yeah, we've got a taste for it.

• 46:24Speaker 01

  But the Burg Boys don't keep their goods. They return them. So it was time to put Tamika and Sharon out of their misery and reveal the heist.

• 46:36Speaker 02

  You guys recognise this, Ker?

• 46:42Speaker 02

  You let a couple of thieves into the building.

• 46:44Speaker 00

  Oh my god!

• 46:46Speaker 03

  We robbed your place.

• 46:48Speaker 02

  We robbed your blind.

• 46:51Speaker 00

  I thought you were shady.

• 46:54Speaker 03

  You didn't say that at the time?

• 46:56Speaker 00

  No, I thought you were shady.

• 46:58Speaker 02

  Tell us what gave, was something giving Jack away?

• 47:00Speaker 00

  Because he just disappeared. Yeah. I'm like, what the hell? Like, where's he gone?

• 47:05Speaker 02

  By that stage, we already had your Suzuki and your painting and we were long gone.

• 47:11Speaker 02

  Thank god we weren't real criminals because we've been sent here by upper management to test the security of the building. Unfortunately, we have to say, she is full of holes. But I cannot stress enough how well we did.

• 47:26Speaker 00

  You did it.

• 47:27Speaker 03

  I, I got them in the building. What are you talking, you believe me 100%?

• 47:33Speaker 00

  I did believe you.

• 47:34Speaker 03

  I know, you never looked at me suspiciously.

• 47:36Speaker 00

  No, I was, you were shady. I could say there was something, I could say something.

• 47:39Speaker 03

  In high times, it's very easy to call someone shady.

• 47:45Speaker 01

  And so, dear friends, that draws to a close the story of the Burg Boys and 2025. Hamish, Andy and Jack will be back in 2026 after the mandated break.

• 48:00Speaker 02

  How do I know?

• 48:01Speaker 01

  Because they told me and you can trust the Burg Boys. You can take that to the bank.
