The first thing that came to mind was, what are you hiding up in a safety deposit box in Hatton Garden. Uninsured work in progress?

I read and was told that a life assurance policy was in one of the boxes, it disappeared, the person is now deaceased.

The chaps name was John Palmer

They are all linked, it doesn't prove that the Hatton Garden job was pulled off for a life assurance policy, far from it.

The documents were palmers leverage on other people, in the event of his death they were to be released to the papers and the police. No documents.      oh dear!!! He was shot six times in the chest the police put it down to a heart attack, until the autopsy. All a bit fishy

He is/was one hell of a rich powerful guy.

Unbeknown to my family we had his nephew as a customer once , we took over a holiday hire shop business in Tenerife and he was an existing customer who owed 2 months rent for a TV. I went to his apartment to collect the TV or payment , he was not there but members of his family was staying there on holiday. They let me in to the apartment to find the TV, it was not there so I said I will have to take the VCR that was as we need paying or compensating...That's when the possibly life changing question was asked "do you know who he is" of course I said "no" as his name was not Palmer...Luckily I believed them when told and left immediately apologising for my intrusion and demand for payment..."just tell him to ring us whenever he can please ,bye"...If I had removed goods, I guarantee me or my family would have suffered , even for threatening to take goods I'm surprised nothing happened...week later the lad rang and I met him to get the money, nice lad...months later always wondering if he was who I was told he was I saw him walk into this posh hotel as if he owned it and the receptionist confirmed he was the boss , and a Palmer family member.

Years ago there was an ITV documentary on the people who went missing in Tenerife, working in Timeshare for John Palmer.

Palmer must have been one of the richest criminals in UK history?  Maybe the Hatton job was in order to retrieve some of his hidden wealth?
