Can't see it, can't steal it Concept Smoke Screen system saves the day
Frankfurt, Germany
Three of the thieves scaled the warehouse while a fourth, the getaway driver, waited outside in a 7-ton van. They had clearly planned on getting a large haul. After traversing the warehouse roof the thieves smashed open a skylight with an axe before lowering down a folding ladder.
The ladder proved their downfall, as it triggered the alarm and Smoke Screen system which quickly filled the entire warehouse with dense security fog. Seeing their quarry rapidly disappearing from view the villains scrambled off the roof and fled.
A stock-check the following day revealed that not a single item had been taken, and the only damage caused was the broken skylight, costing just 800 Euros, as opposed to losing 4 million.
