Divisions and Precisions

*cue James Bond theme* This just in from London:

Acting on intelligence reports, police were waiting when the robbers used a large yellow excavator to smash their way into the vault that usually houses a dozen top quality stones — including the 203-carat Millennium Star.

Four people were arrested in the vault, two were captured as they tried to escape by powerboat along the nearby Thames and five others were arrested in raids across southeastern England, police said.

Okay, that's really cool, with the bulldozer and the smoke bombs and the powerboat chase and everything, but where in the hell did they think they were going to fence a 203-carat diamond?
