World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The “vault” had a brick wall and wooden shelves?
From the photo, there seems to have been a substantial-thickness concrete wall and then a brick wall. Obviously, they were still not enough, but it wasn't just a brick wall.
And about the wooden shelves: So what? They are not security relevant or customer facing, they just need to work as shelves.
More formal vaults have boxes which are locked in place so that even removing the locked box requires a key.
That's a lock box vault, not a standard vault. Those have the people that own the boxes entering them often, so of course everything inside is behind another lock and key. Normal vaults don't usually ha e strangers entering them.
The article says there were safe deposit boxes so the shelves in the picture were probably used to hold other non-valuable stuff like paperwork.
Nope. You do not have open shelves in a safe deposit boxes room. ~~This is where they started drilling. The room with the safe deposit boxes is on the other side of the hole.~~ The real safe deposit room seems to be not visible. This here is just the main entrance into the bank. I believe they had a large, reinforced room, separated by thin dry walls, so that they have one publicly accessible area and one where they would store documents internally.
The photo caption says they started from a parking garage. The near side doesn't look like a parking garage, it looks ransacked. And everything on the floor is under a mosaic censor. The near side in the photo is the vault.
Thanks. Edited my comment!
The article says they used a parking garage. I think the reason so much is blurred in the picture is that there are documents. This is the bank side
True, thanks, edited my comment.
No. This is where they did the drilling.
That's your wishful thinking. The blurred pile is boxes and documents they pulled down and tore open from the wooden shelves. It says they came in from a parking garage
