Burglars Search Google to Help Steal $12,000 from Safe

Yesterday, 2 burglars tried to raid an amusement center, but after an hour, couldn’t open the safe, according to the Colorado Springs Gazette.
The burglars tried to disable a security camera by repeatedly spraying it with WD-40 — it only cleaned the lens — and spent an hour and 15 minutes trying to open three safes, apparently unaware that some types require the dial to be turned two or three times.

Barry at Search Engine Land says that after search terms, “how to open a safe” and “how to crack a safe” gave them the boost they needed.
The duo have not yet been caught.
They should’ve done their research beforehand, really. As DigitalPoint Forums members suggest:
