Vault cracked in the old customs office

Master safecracker Wim van den Hoogen cracks the vault in the customs and tax office

The vault in the old customs and tax office was to get a new use. But the vault had to be opened first. A nice job for master safecracker Wim van den Hoogen. The vault got opened neatly and undamaged, of course. There wasn't much in it - just an old pipe and a thermometer. Still, the new owners were quite happy. The vault can now serve as wine storage in the hotel, the building's new function.
