Not really. The only planning apparent is "had an escape vehicle", which does not meet the requirements for "not morons".
> In 2013, a crown and sceptre used in the funeral of Sweden’s 16th-century King Johan III were stolen from Västerås, another city on the shore of Lake Mälaren. They turned up a few days later in two large rubbish bags at the side of a highway after a tip-off to police.

- Nr7 8y agoJust because that's the only part of their planning that we know of doesn't mean that it's the only planning that they actually did.
- dopamean 8y agoSince they successfully absconded with the jewels I'm going to guess they had more of a plan than simply "have an escape vehicle."
