Heist of the Day

posted by on February 25 at 14:24 PM

Thieves in Milan took millions from a jewelry showroom the old fashioned way. From the BBC:

Undisturbed, the thieves dug a 3ft (1m) tunnel into the cellar of the jeweller’s showroom.

The seven men, unarmed and unmasked, came through the wall as staff above them prepared the jewels for a celebrity Oscars party.

The thieves tied the staff up with plastic cable and sticky tape.

They then locked everyone in the bathroom except the manager, who was taken to the safety deposit room and forced to empty the lockers.

The gang then left the same way they came in. So far, police have few leads.

Hey! The A-Team was wrongfully framed for a crime they didn't commit--they weren't common criminals!

Shame--shame! on you!

Unmasked??? So the surveillance cameras would get good photos of them, I suppose. They'll be making friends with Bubba in no time. (Do Italian prisons have Bubbas? Guido, maybe.)

I think the first photo was more effective. This just spells it out too clearly and doesn't work as well with the quote.
