Molly and Bill were in their van parked a block away from the birthday party house. Molly turned to Bill and said, "Bill, this is going to be the easiest break in ever. Kids parties are chaotic, parents are distracted, and the presents are just sitting there waiting for us to take them all." Bill looked at her with skepticism. "Easy? Molly, those kids can be like little alarm systems. One wrong move and they scream for their moms. How do you plan to get inside without getting caught by that?" Molly replied quickly. "We bring a big box of decorations and say we're the decorators for the event. Then we go around the room picking up the presents to wrap them better but really we put them in our box and slide them out the back door to the van." Bill thought for a moment. "That could work but the back door might be blocked by the bounce house. Kids are jumping everywhere and if we try to move things they might think it's a game and follow us. Remember the last heist where we were followed by a dog? This could be worse with a whole group of children." Molly waved her hand dismissively. "The bounce house is our friend. We can use it as a barrier. While you keep them busy with magic tricks, I will pile the presents in a corner and cover them with a tablecloth that looks like part of the setup. Then we make a chain of us passing them out in the confusion of the gift opening time." Bill said. "Passing them? Like a human chain of thieves at a kids party? Molly, that's ridiculous even for us. What if the birthday boy sees us and starts crying because his new bike is being stolen? We need a distraction like a clown act but without the clown suits because they are too obvious." "I have it, Bill, we can be the music people. We set up speakers and play loud kids songs so no one hears the noise we make dragging the boxes. And to top it off we tell the parents we are part of the clean up crew but we clean up the presents instead." Bill started to smile a little. "Music distraction is good, I like that. But what about the magician? If he is real he might notice us sneaking around. We have to time it during his disappearing act so that everyone is looking at the stage we set up in the living room." "Exactly, during the disappearing act we disappear with the gifts. It's poetic, Bill. For the getaway we have the ice cream truck rented under a fake name so if anyone sees us leaving they think we are just the treat vendor pulling away." Bill agreed with that plan. "The ice cream truck is genius because it has room in the back for all the presents and we can lock it. But one problem: how do we know which presents are the expensive ones? We want the good stuff not the cheap socks and ties that uncles bring." Molly answered enthusiastically. "We don't need to know, we take all of them. Even the cheap ones can be sold or kept as souvenirs for the next job. The point is the volume we get from this one event will set us up for months of heists. All those toys will fetch a nice price on the secondary market." Bill nodded. "Secondary market for toys, sure, but we have to make sure we don't leave any fingerprints or something. With all the cake fingers it could be messy but okay let's finalize. I will handle the music and you handle the collecting."
