Is it still possible to find a poorly defended target? Yes. The security at Hatton Garden was poor. Over that Easter weekend the vault was left completely unattended. When the burglars did set off the alarm the security guard did not check the vault, he checked whether the front door had been unlocked and left it at that. There was nobody watching CCTV from inside the vault although the main building had CCTV the vault wasn't exactly protected that way. One of the burglars did turn up at the scene of the crime in his own car, this was a bit stupid!!! That gave the Flying Squad all the information they needed to start investigating the gang. So, in response to the question, it is perfectly possible to steal poorly defended valuables where poorly defended means no CCTV etc. As for whether it is possible to escape through a built up area with the stolen goods, the stolen goods part is irrelevant, is it possible to go missing in a city? Yes!
