I did crawl over an acoustic tile ceiling once. It has a lattice framework of
1x2 sticks. I spread myself out as far as I could. Never collapsed but I am
sure it was close.

You can't really stand on a suspended ceiling. The heaviest thing up there were
the 2x4 florescent light fixtures that rested between the T bars. They did have
HVAC duct work, and phone lines and some electrical, but those things were not
resting on the suspended ceiling T bars.

Was the space above high enough to stand in? I don’t recall where I was, but
I remember being above a ceiling somewhere and walking on top of the walls.
I bet there are no cameras up there either. Sounds perfect, Bill. Count me
in on the heist.

We did service to a store in a strip mall once. The best line of sight was
above another store, but when I got into the suspended ceiling, I discovered
that the walls between stores did not go to the roof. You could run any wire
from any store to any other store if you went above the suspended ceiling.

When I read “tunneling through stores” I pictured a big core drill through
adjacent basements. Sawing through drywall partitions is a lot less dramatic,
but geez, is that the only thing between stores?
At our local mall there’s a maintenance corridor behind the stores with
only a drywall partition between the corridor the stores. I’ve drilled through
it to install Internet service there so I know as a fact it’s just a double
layer drywall partition. Somehow it never occurred to me, but yeah someone
could definitely access any store from there with nothing more than a drywall
saw. Oh and the corridor was never locked…..I know that because friends and I
used to use it as a shortcut when we were young and defiant badasses with no
respect for The Man and his stupid rules.
I don’t know about the walls between stores, but apparently those might
also just be drywall partitions.

Here, this is better than the movies. What just happened here locally.
From
https://www.dailyherald.com/20240805/news/burglars-tunnel-through-stores-to-steal-1-5m-in-jewelry-from-marquise-jewelry-in-schaumburg/
In what appeared to be a calculated crime, burglars cut through the walls
of multiple stores overnight to get into Marquise Jewelry in Schaumburg and
steal merchandise worth $1.5 million.
“Everything was gone. They did not leave us anything,” said owner Asma
Anwar. “This was a well-planned burglary.”
Anwar and Shazad Malik walked into their store at the Woodfield Mall Friday
morning to find their shelves wiped clean by burglars who had broken in during
the overnight hours.
“I came into this place that I worked hard for 13 years to build, and I
came to this place, and it was wiped. I was speechless at that point,” Malik
said.
The couple said they were told by police that there were six people
involved, after the mall closed for the night; but they said they weren't
notified about the break-in until the next morning.
“I need answers on how this was going on for overnight hours, after mall
hours, how was this going on that the security was not notified,” said Anwar.
Schaumburg police said the crime was discovered by a construction worker
who entered a vacant store adjacent to Marquise Jewelry at about 9:30 a.m.
Monday and reported a hole in the drywall. Police said they found the suspects
covered one of the surveillance cameras to avoid detection.
More disturbing was how the burglars gained access to their store. The
couple found a small hole in the wall, and later learned from police the
burglars cut through the walls of three other businesses to get to their
jewelry store.
“This is a concern my family's safety, this is a concern for my safety.
This is a concern for millions of people walking in this mall,” Anwar said.
The couple said they have security in their store and the mall also has
security patrolling overnight, so it's unclear why they were not notified
sooner.
“We are small business owners. We are not a corporation. It going to take
us a long time to recover, if we can,” said Anwar.
“It's a whole mess. It's a big mess, you know. It's a heartbreaking thing,”
Malik said.
Schaumburg police called the investigation “very active” and said they are
reviewing surveillance footage from multiple sources, as well as other evidence.

Noticed Moviepass is trying to get me to subscribe for $1 a month or
something. Been happy with AMC's program every since Moviepass
imploded.....anyone trying moviepass again?
Are there even any descent movies anymore? Found "Clear and Present
Danger" on my antique DVR last night and watched it.
Realized I saw it a while back but probably not "Patriot Games". Thought
"Sum of all Fears" was one of the better movies of its
time. Nothing like that anymore. Nothing "good" since Olympus Has
Fallen / England has Fallen / whatever else they did...."
I know there was a writer's strike but it seems they just didn't recover.
Seems like Hollywood is imploding. Some of us say
"good" since their politics aren't exactly my politics....but I **must**
unplug and just be entertained from time to time....
Wife asked me to make "Mr Robot" fall out of the sky (oh, i'm sorry,
now-a-days that is "cloud" right lol). Guess we will see
how that is.....
