Every good thief knows that a successful heist should be planned backwards. The planning must start from the desired end result of the heist, and work backwards in stages to the starting act. This ensures that the thief covers every possible outcome in the most streamline way. (I have never officially investigated this theory, I just know it to be true).
Paul was a half-decent thief, but he had only just recently gained this title. Up until his last heist, he was a very bad thief. Paul had been caught over ten times, attempting to carry out heists planned in the forward direction. Only in his last heist had he learned the backwards method of planning, in which he was able to successfully plan a four stage heist of the local hot dog vendor. He had succeeded because no one had cared enough to have stopped him.
He had reached stage 27 of his current heist plan. This was a complicated heist, he was sure it had to work. With the proper backwards planning, any heist would succeed. He had examined in for heist holes at least 20 times at this point, and he had found none. This would be the greatest heist he had ever achieved. Paul’s heist’s end goal was to break into the Sacramento Bank and remove all cash and gold from the inner vault.
The day of the heist had arrived. Paul was surprisingly calm. He never each and every step of his 34 stage plan like the back of his hands, it couldn’t go wrong. He began carrying out the heist at 2am that morning, and reached the vault by 8am, just before opening. He had succeeded. He could now be considered a quite decent thief. Paul left the bank with his well earned cash and gold in hand and his head held high. Upon exit of the bank, he was immediately arrested and his cash and gold was confiscated back from him.
