Isaac wanted to do a diamond-heist of an LA bank in the summer of 2022. He chose the Farmers & Merchants Bank in LA when he discovered that a wealthy California merchant opened an account there and stored $20 million diamonds in a safe-box, and Isaac wanted to take $10 million of that portion and substitute it with fake diamonds he'd bring to the heist. He began planning like a nerd.

"This is how I'll look on the day of the heist. I'll tell them I'm an Arab merchant from Saudi Arabia looking to buy diamonds in California and store them at the Farmers & Merchants Bank in Los Angeles. I'll be in this face-covering gear because of Coronavirus protection of course, and I'll have counterfeit ID materials while opening the private account for my diamond storage!"

Now, the Farmers & Merchants Bank in LA is quite nice. There's really good securities. So, you have to be a skilled thief to plan a tight heist. You have to be a little nuts too, like Isaac. That's why he's the perfect protagonist for this LA summer diamond-heist fable. You'll see.

"I'll ride to the Farmers & Merchants Bank in LA on this Vespa scooter I'll rent out using a fake ID."

When Isaac got to the bank, he noticed a celebrity was there opening an account with a friend, who happened to be a farmer. He decided to take both the celebrity and her friend as hostages during the diamond-heist. This was all part of the theatrics of his planned heist that day in LA.

This is the gun Isaac took to the bank heist to lift the $10 million diamonds from the safe-box owned by the Saudi Arabian merchant living in California. Only, this isn't a water-gun filled with water. It's filled with corrosive HCL acid Isaac procured from a chem-lab in southern California. He fitted the gun with an inner-lined protective glass tube capable of storing the acid safely and enabling the toy gun to shoot the acid.

Isaac grabbed the celebrity woman and her friend during the diamond heist and informed the guards and tellers his toy gun was filled with corrosive acid and gave a quick demo of the acid's strength and potency by shooting the gun at the marble floor, which led to the acid burning right through multiple layers of the floor itself. He told everyone inside the bank not to ring the alarm or make trouble or he'd shoot the celebrity woman and her friend as well, both his current heist hostages, in their knees, creating rather hot burns on their knee-caps. No one wanted to get in his way, so he was escorted to the vault room with the safe-box belonging to the Saudi Arabian merchant with the $20 million diamonds.

"The bank was a really nice thing to behold, and I performed the diamond heist quickly and efficiently so as to create no need whatsoever for violence or harm or danger, and I was able to simply escape with the valuable gems in a minimal amount of time, so I'm quite happy with the performance of the heist that day in LA inside this rather handsome modern American bank, part of a rather respected and polished financial company in the USA!"

Isaac rode off with the $10 million diamonds, half of the $20 million total portion in the safe-box and left fake substitute diamonds in the box and told the guards and bank personnel not to inform the Saudi merchant that the half portion was fake until he discovered it for himself. Isaac rode off with the diamonds on his parked Vespa scooter and traded them on the black market and took the traded cash to fly to the Virgin Islands on Aeroflot airlines. He decided the diamonds he took were very very delicious.

"There's something about diamonds that really sets the professional thief's heart stirring, since the glowing transparent and shiny gems remind you that there's nothing trivial about the undeniable quality of value and design, which is why I'd like to give myself an A+ for this Los Angeles diamond heist, a real testament to the darkness of the modern thief's life in the USA."
