Love is like a high prison wall, sang Spandau Ballet in their hit song Gold.

Coincidentally, it was released in 1983, just a few months before the Brink’s-Mat robbery took place, during which thieves stole gold —in the form of bullion — as well as diamonds and cash now worth an estimated £111 million from a facility at Heathrow International Trading Estate in London. Described at the time as ‘the crime of the century,’ it remains one of the biggest hauls in British history.
