They offer two million pounds to those who can give information about the robbers.
Isn’t two million a bit…too small? Ha! No seriously…It’s like if I knew where to find these robbers, I’d really try to ask them first what they’d offer me so I don’t tell the police, and - when we are talking about 40 MILLION! - I think what the police offers is a joke! The money is LOST, GONE, ADIOS! And that means 40 million is gone, not two million!
And if they can’t find the 40 million without help, why should that “help” only get two? I’d say at least 10-20% but well…there are people that prefer losing 40 million instead of sharing it with somebody and get back a part of the cake!
