The Plan
Make notes about the number of staff in and out of the building at all times. Organize a team of experts in safe-cracking and weapon use. Make sure not to involve that idiot Brian who thinks he's God's gift to crime whenever he gets drunk and starts bragging. Pick a day when all factors seem to be in your favour and make sure you do have a proper getaway vehicle (at least two of them must be available). Ignore the advice you receive from Brian about what types of vehicles you should use...like his. Point out to the team that Brian still drives the same car he had in high school and that he never had to pay for it. Use Brian's vehicle without telling him what your plans are. Remember that it is a holiday weekend and that no one is going to be in the building. Remember that Brian is also on holiday because he works there and knows the place inside and out. Bring Brian along to give you some general information. Decide that the weekend is too long and that you can wait for another date. Ignore Brian's and the team's offer to join them.

Rookie Card. Top Story - June 2023.
Kendall watched and waited while sitting on the designated park bench. His hands clasped the black gym bag that contained his savings, cashed in 401 K and recent paycheck earnings. He still could not believe he was going to purchase his dream Mickey Mantle rookie card. He found the seller on-line. His fingers trembled, checking his watch once again. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard yelling.

Micro Heist
"What's the difference again between a robbery and a heist?" "Gheezus Christ on a cracker Rob you are a dummy" Kleman replied with an exasperated sigh as he often did whenever addressing one of Robbie's incessant questions. "A robbery is stealing some stupid shit from some nobody on the street. A heist is stealing some important shit, like gold or a famous jewel or shit like that, from somebody or someplace important. In our case that would be a museum" Robbie looked puzzled as he contemplated Kleman's answer. He was not exactly sure he really saw the difference. Stealing was stealing in his mind. Then again, his mind was of the slow variety and contemplation was not his strong suit. But, what he lacked in brains, he made up for in spades in courage and loyalty. At least, that is what Kleman liked to tell people when they asked him why he had partnered up with that "retarded kid Robbie." In truth, he had taken on Robbie because he simply did not trust anyone of normal intelligence. In his experience with former partners, the smarter the man, the dumber the plan. Robbie was perfect, exactly because he was so dumb.

Test Heist
Since the brownie caper, there have been many successful heists along with a few botched ones. Now my skills were about to be tested. It was time for finals and graduation from high school. My worst subject was English. A grade of B was required or I wouldn’t graduate. Of course, I could study, but where was the fun in that? I needed a copy of the answer sheet.
