Another Tiger Raid

    For those who don't know - a Tiger raid is where an armed gang hold the family of a bank manager hostage while they force the bank manager (i.e. key holder) to open the bank and remove a substantial sum of money. Once the money has been secured by the gang, the family members are released.

    Now why oh why is it possible for one member of staff to open the bank alone?

    Shouldn't there be a system whereby at least two members of staff have to be present to open the door? Two different locks or something?

    This could be coupled with a system where at least one of the keys is distributed randomly at the end of the evening to one of three trusted members of staff so that the location of the second key on any night is not known until that evening.

    This would make it more difficult for a gang to coordinate an attack as they would have to spread their resources thinner.

    Would this work? Any more suggestions?

    then you woul have "tiger pack raids", more tigers, more families.... oh the humanity...

    where they kidnap all three families, and force all three men to go in there and get the money.

    plus if one of them take a holiday then its back to predictable two again.

    Well if the gang is bigger then the booty is split more ways making the risk less acceptable especially because they have to attack three or four houses at the same time.

    The chances of a gang being observed at one of these houses by passers by/neighbours increases. Makes it more difficult to coordinate and synchronise attacks.

    I don't understand why members of staff have keys for banks at all tbh. Why can't security staff/patrols lock up these premises? Why would managment put staff in a position wherby this type of thing can happen? It's hardly uncommon in this day and age, is it?
