Treasury Safe Loot Plot by Broadfoot Planned via Sewer
A long-ago plan by Martin Broadfoot to loot the U S Treasury involved entering through the Fifteenth Street sewer, bypassing a weak time-locked vault system, filling rubber bags with coins and bullion, and floating them down to the Potomac. Secret Service notes say the scheme failed after his arrest, with authorities doubting the feat could succeed given the security and alarm gaps then relaxed.
