    During the heist at Sparkasse savings bank in the city of Gelsenkirchen, thieves broke open more than 3,000 safe deposit boxes containing money, gold and jewellery.

    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.

        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
