    Well that just really sux.
    If they did not have CCTV then something dodgy is going on.
    I would much rather have this argument with Australia or NZ banks though

    That's very sad news. I think most people don't even realize that most bank SDB's are not insured....they simply assume it is without reading the fine print which disavows the bank.

    Very sad for those people....I hope the scum thieves are caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

    Chances are that Bank manager and few other bank staff will be shot by disgruntled customers. SA not the friendliest of places.

    As for CCTV probably not released yet.

    Not every banks thief can work 12 -15 hours with jackhammer without activating security alarms.
    Saving on operating cost I suppose.

    That is why this sounds like an inside job.
