Wow what a quick way to get away with 26+ thousand Euros! I don't know how or why there's not more security or preventive measures in place just in case this was to ever occur. And, obviously it did! It just seem's like there'd be more in place then being able to run in a door and back out with a load of cash so fast. Think they're playing on-line poker today!

well i don't know about Denmark but 26,000 pounds sure don't get you a lot over here! really bad there isn't more security there and i wouldn't feel safe going to that place now that this has happened.

You're very wrong. According to the stats prepared by Sydney University, the Finland is on the 4th place in the world (after the USA, Yemen and Switzerland) with 46% gun posession. Sweden is on the 10th place - with 32%, Norway - 11th place - 31%... Denmark is much lower - 54th place with 12%.
My country is one of the lowest - 142nd place of 178
Wow you got to be pretty silly or got giant balls to be doing such a robbery in a casio. Howere it's been a few in the past mounths to be rob like that. How freak should it be for all the customer out there and how to react when your in the security...
