#2 The capture rate for Bank robbers is something like 99.99%. Unless they have a really good fence that can wait for the payoff, they have millions of useless notes.

#3 The police reckon the gang comprised about twenty people. That's about Â£1m each. The bank (not its insurers - the cash wasn't insured) will probably offer a reward in the region of Â£2m, for information resulting in arrests and recovery of money. I think someone who wasn't invited to join the party is going to earn themselves a heftier sum than they would have got from being involved. Of course there aren't as many people prepared to rat out the IRA as there are prepared to rat out your average gang of bank robbers...
