Takes Pride In It

Clearly, the Bank of England has a sense of pride in its different layers of security. Their confidence over their security measure can be gauged by the fact that they once removed the entire Brigade of Guards soldiers who used to secure the institution at night. The institution has never been robbed since its foundation in 1964. The organization claims it with an overtone of pride.   

Claim By Sender

Despite all, there is a rumor that makes one doubt the security measures. It began when the directors of the organization received a letter in 1836. The letter made everyone uncomfortable. The sender claimed in the letter that they had found out an alternative way to enter the gold vault of the bank.     

Holds The Record

The Bank of England has never been robbed, let alone the gold vault. The gold vault was already under high security. It was impossible for anyone to enter the premises without getting unnoticed. What was the sender talking about?

No Attention Given

However, the directors did not take it seriously. In fact, they laughed it off. They were sure that because of their security measures, it was impossible for a non-employee to get into the vault. So, clearly, they did not pay much heed to the letter. However, the real surprise came when the second note came their way. This particular note had a specific request. 

Date And Time

The person asked the authorities to choose a particular time to meet him in the gold vault. The directors’ trust over the security measures did not shake a bit. They were still adamant that nobody can break into the vault. But then they decided to confront the sender. 

Curious Officers

However, the letter had actually invoked curiosity in them. So they gave this mysterious person time and date to see them in the vault. They knew someone was tricking them but still, they wanted to see what is it all about.
