3M was so sure their Security Glass was unbreakable, they placed 3 million dollars of cash between panes of transit glass treated with a shatter-resistant coating. Only $500 of real currency stacked on top of fake money.

People could only use their feet to break it. A security guard was nearby to make sure no one broke the rules and that people couldn’t get to keep the money if they broke it.

This is probably one of the most known creative ads and therefore cannot be missed on CreativeCriminals.com

^If you actually read the article, you would see that they could only not keep it if they used something other than their feet, the challenge is against feet, not a blow torch or sledge hammer

Yeah just wait till some shmuck actually gets up enough of a running start to get his foot through it and then bleeds to death from the resulting wounds. It;s going to take a lot more than $500 and some funny money to fix that **** up.

Does anyone remember how they stole the millennium star? that was kept behind bullet proof glass. They used a big Hilti gun (very big nail gun used to nail things into reinforced concrete) and 6inch nails , about 24 shots blew enough of it away for them to knock the glass in with a JCB and take it….. Nothing is truly secure, with enough time and inginuity anything can be stolen.

“Yeah, it’s unbreakable, we’ll even put $3,000,000 (actually only $500) inside it to prove it, but you can only use your feet to try to break it, if you do some how manage to break it, you don’t get to keep the money, I mean it, I’ve got a security guard there that will shoot you if you try to keep the money.” Why even try to break the glass? It’s like one of those commercials for “free checking” accounts with the two hour long disclosure agreement at the end.

are you guys all retarded? You only can’t keep the money if you don’t use your feet. If you broke it with your feet, you could keep it.

jenna on

If it did break, which it wont, your foot wouldn’t go through it. It would just shatter.

You can’t use diamond shoes, it’ll just scratch the glass. If you want to apply enough pressure.to smash that window you need an infant size foot with a 300 to 350 lb. mans mass behind it, and enough momentum to overexert the initial flex of the glass. Find an NFL player with baby feet. Not likely. And not many people are committed enough to risk the injury. if it were possible. 3M wins

Good luck, it has a scotch film over it making it virtually shatter proof. Even if you were to breakthrough the glass, it would not do much but create a hole the size of your foot and you cannot easily push the rest out to retrieve the goods. Great for storefronts and car windows, especially in places prone to looting.

do people only read what they want to read or are they unable to read a quote from the article
“People could only use their feet to break it. A security guard was nearby to make sure no one broke the rules and that people couldn’t get to keep the money if they broke it.”
the guard is there to make sure the rules were followed – some people are dumb and illiterate

Dumbasses don’t even know what they’re talking about. First off diamonds are pure carbon and cannot be welded to anything much less a piece of lead which is also unweldable. Secondly, there is no such ducking thing as a hollow point 12 gauge slug. Go back to school you ducking morons.

Ok… Look the glass is shatter Proof, so even if you did knock a hole in it with a “Diamond in a shotgun” Or kick it, your gonna put a small crack in it, and that is it. Or there is gonna be a hole in it the size of your finger, wich won’t be enough to take a stack of green backs out of the glass, the only way to get in there is to get an industrial glass Cutter , and or matching its breaking shatter point with enough force to Completely shatter the glass MassxVelocity. You need an object about the size of a newborn elephant going at/around 750 m/s that impacts the glass for it to completely shatter.

there is in fact hollow point slugs i took the time to look it up and there is slug that are hollow points and you cant just walk up to 3 million dollars (500) and not expect for someone to try and stop you 3m know that you can break it with more than just a foot but they also know that you cannot humanly break the glass thats why its and thats why there is a guard to stop anyone if they do.

drop the frame off at my house with or without money, i don’t care which…I’d prefer the latter(since I can’t keep it for if I do get to it)… leave it with me and my 2 brothers(they might need the money in it for motivation) for 24hrs… we’ll get that damn thing open using our feet…

2 blocks to hold it off the ground and a ladder to jump off of for my first attempt… after that all hell will break loose upon the damned thing

Someone should break their foot trying to get at the money then sue 3M for 3 million. Mission Accomplished

@Tyler- good luck welding a slug. It’s lead coated with a copper jacket. And you obviously can’t melt a diamond (to weld you melt two metals and fill the void with a filler metal) so it’s impossible to do what your saying. And I’m %110 sure I’m right

Right, because criminals only use their FEET to break in. Sorry, with the limitations, it just doesn’t look as bright as it first looked.

the only way you could get a diamond on the front of a shotgun slug would be to make a mold where you could set the diamond at the bottom, then melt the led and pour over it, used to make weights for fishing by melting led, but id rather find a cheap pair of steel toed shoes and weld a point on the steel part under the leather, then kick the living shit out of it you know something like this…

THROW REALLY BIG DIAMONDS AT THE GLASS. OR BURN THE GLASS WITH A FLAMETHROWER. OR SHOOT THE GLASS WITH A CANNON FROM 1 INCH AWAY. OR GET A BUNCH OF SPIDERS TO SNEAK IN AND TAKE THE MONEY OUT FOR YOU. CAUTION: AMERICAN INGENUITY AT ITS FINEST!!!
