There was another robbery similar to this in Knoxville earlier this year. Off to find the link. http://www.knoxnews.com/news/watchf...and-driven-to-smartbank-cable-worker_55086584

It was in Oak Ridge, just to the west of Knoxville.

Time Locks:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_lock:

"...Time locks were originally created to prevent criminals

from Kidnapping and torturing the person(s) who knows

the combination, and then using the extracted information

to later burgle the safe or vault, or to stop entry by staff at

Unauthorized Times..." [Emphasis by Richrd]


In My Opinion:

It is better to Surrender the money to the Robbers,

than have the hostages Slaughtered when entry is denied.
