The 2005 Banco Central burglary in Fortaleza, Brazil, was once recognised by Guinness Book of World Records as the world's greatest bank robbery.

To pull it off, a 25-member gang set up a fake landscaping business. They spent three months digging a 256-foot tunnel that led up through the bank's vault floor.

Once inside, they stole several containers that held 160 million Brazilian reals. Only eight people were arrested, and just 20 million real was recovered.

Damn, I googled the dates to see if The Room was made after that. No dice, 2003.
