Yes, there were loads of ex-soldiers that could plan and execute such, (Frank Sinatra in Oceans 11) showed how.
A Coventry lad, friend of a friend, of a friend I knew had a trolley/kiosk on Victoria Station, he had been chased out of Coventry by police, while I was talking to him, gave a foreign woman change to a five pound note when she had given ten pound note, he did it a second time and I made it plain to the woman, and he went livid at me. but there was no way he would take me on.
But the London police catching up with him, (he was gay) so to escape he joined the French Foreign Legion, it only took them a few weeks to see his ways, they dumped him on the British Embassy steps in a town in Morocco, a pair of shorts, passport, and that was it. The Embassy brought him home to a jail, but I did see him a few times back in Coventry after that.
