Withdraw a few hundred dollars, break it into small bills(preferably one bill at a time at different stores. Buy junk food ore something), and visit several hobbyist shops, picking up the following: liquid fuel hobby rocket engines, remote control radio parts, motorized wheels, command software. See if there is a shop doing custom metalwork or plastics, and get a shell similar to a scout eye, as well as several cylinders or pipes.
Then, discreetly order explosives through our mining front and wait for delivery to a secure location(have Steve set up one).
Junk food ore? You've struck a vein of Doritos! PRAISE THE MINERS!
You spend a while doing some amateur money laundering and then buy up all the supplies you need for something that is, frankly, a bit Jokerish. Just add a smiling face and you're set.
How much explosives and how powerful? I'll assume you want something nice, stable and electrically activated.
Edit: Before all this though, make sure the address I give them is NOT the one where we are all staying. Go and get another apartment set up for us.
Eh, let's go with several hundred thousand, and set up some investments. Long term and short term. Sign up for services, including the deposit boxes, and see if they'll give us a tour of their security measures as I am a Very Important Person and want to ensure my money is protected. Make sure to bring Ulrich along.
We'll assume you have a nice anonymous po box.
You and your Body guard head over to the bank but are stopped almost immediately by their security, who politely inform you that, if your guard insists on carrying a gun into the bank, they're going to have to insist on calling the police and or shooting him. He tells them that the gun is fake, just something to scare criminals and they nod, very understanding, and tell him it doesn't matter. They give you the option of surrendering the weapon or leaving.
((@renegadelobster: Bank might need your address. Ensure you have one that isn't our apartment.))
Ulrich Leland. Location: Apartment --> Bank
Leave with Thaddeus in a bit less obvious manner: Wear different clothes when leaving the apartment and switch into the suit in other part of city where nobody can see us. Recommend same idea for Thaddeus.
Be his designated driver and bodyguard and act like it: ie. position myself to protect him from possibly dangers, watch people in bank, all while actually scanning for usual security measures: cameras, locks, sensors and guys in security office if I happen to see them. If possible, try to see name of manufacturer or serial/id number in those security things.
Assuming I can understand the language, listen what people talk about. Maybe I can hear something useful?

Personal information | Thief. That's what he is. Driven by his desire for wealth (of others), he started his trade early as a pickpocket. Soon he moved on to easy burglaries and eventually to high value heists. His demise was to join a group of thieves, successful but short-lived. In wake of their success the group became too proud and careless and started to make mistakes, such as failing to notice hidden security cameras. The last mistake was attempt to steal jewelry from a one of richest men in the city. Security had noticed their scouts eyeballing the mansion and prepared a trap to caught group in action. Normally such criminal activity would be punished by 15 years of forced labor, but the victim happened to have connections with judges and law-enforcement and arranged much worse punishment for the thieves: the HMRC. |

See above. Your move, quick draw.
Local laws allow open carry, and the process of getting a permit involves taking a test and going through a training class.
Well, we'll assume it runs and you stay incognito. What are you looking for?
Mostly trying to identify the security and other bank radio channels, partially by judging the channel response as customers enter, and around when our pair enters.
Find a random open source coding project to work on occasionally while waiting for our pair.
I forget, did you get any sort of good radio monitoring equipment, because you can scan for wireless but radio monitoring is not the sort of thing usually done with a laptop computer, at least not without an antenna.
