Bro, watch/read Catch Me if You Can. Frank Abagnale is one of my heroes, like Joseph Smith is, and for the sane reason Christ is our lord. The audacity of a man in reflective vest, hardhat, with ladder and/or clipboard to walk confidently into a building to waltz up to the seventeenth floor to steal state secrets? Well, I've only done that four times, so it's not like I'm an expert or anything.

My dad tells a story about an indicent in the 1980's, I think, where a couple of gentlemen went to Governer's Island and stole an 8ft diameter bronze screw. (Ship propeller)

I don't think they had vests, but they most likely just drove up with a flatbed like they had every right to be there. Probably even asked for help loading it.
