A perfect, meticulously planned heist (Poland)

Open

It looks like there is no news about it in english media, so in short:

One year ago a guy started working as a guard. His job was, among others, to replenish money in ATMs. One day he stayed in the car when his 2 colleagues proceeded to put money in an ATM. He unexpectedly hit the road leaving his coworkers behind. By that time he had 8M PLN (~2M EUR) in the car. He jammed the GPS signal, cleaned the car with chlorine, and abandoned it in a forest. It wouldn't be that perfect if:

He didn't provide the company he worked for with fake personal data (and no one noticed)
He hadn't worn gloves all the time, and grown a massive beard that altered his look

The sole purpose of him taking the job a year (!) ago was to steal from the bank. The police have been looking for him for quite a while but to no avail. Looks like they won't find him anymore :D

They can still check transactions, but since he isn't dumb he'll be paying cash for the rest of his life and leave the country.

He probably left the country on the same day he stole the money :) And yeah, if he just spends cash without depositing it in banks or anything it will be hard to track him down.
