emmadilemma commented on A Burglar's Guide to the City by Geoff Manaugh
Encompassing nearly 2,000 years of heists and tunnel jobs, break-ins and escapes, A Burglar's Guide …
The author pals around with the LAPD in Chapter 2, getting a ride in a helicopter and debunking bits of City of Quartz (which might actually merit debunking, as I think about it). But the fact I didn't remember the LAPD being involved tells me I originally read this in a very different personal time.
