White face masks have been a real boon to mask makers.

70k? Doesn't really seem worth it considering the risk/reward at stake.

Slows news day? Might not be a bad thing when the worst you can report is a $700 theft.

I always think it hilarious that in Japan you can wear a mask into a bank... Try to do that in California and you would be shot. It will soon be a cashless society using only credit cards and cell phones that track your every movement, purchase and robbers will have to resort to doing things like selling each others organs.
