Admittedly, they used a fair bit of sophisticated equipment, but the key innovation of these highly successful robbers (over 200 robberies) was the use of a cardboard box. I keep hearing stories of late about how humans are just not well wired for protecting computer systems, but I think security is just a tricky job. A clever opponent can leverage both the sophisticated and the mundane to reframe the problem in a way that blows away all your assumptions.
