Have you ever seen a movie? Once you get into the drop ceiling, you can
run and jump just like it's a floor. They're also clean and well lit.

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.....
