As a fan (but not ring leader, mind you) of organized hijinks, I have to say that if this weren't so illegal I'd be very impressed.
While the world is full of people with more greed than intelligence, I have to imagine that the pool of individuals capable of pulling this off has to be quite small. Your average thief doesn't know any helicopter pilots, much less one willing to steal a helicopter and use it in a high profile robbery.

I might be wrong.

Mike | I'd dare say that there's no chapter about this in police forces' intervention manual either. Quote:

He learned to fly from a flight simulator. One small airport reported a plane had a "hard landing" at their airport, when they went over to the plane, it was empty. Later that day, several residences reported being burglarized.
Same kid who broke into a police car, stole some guns and a digital camera. The police can not find him.

Without knowing how old these guys were, it's best to assume that they would have been too old for the military and had to sue for age discrimination, crippling the Swedish government and eventually leading to them getting this pile of money, anyway. I'd say that by just taking the money without all the paperwork, attorneys and legal fees, they actually saved the country money. When this is realized, they'll be awarded a medal and actually bring the discussion full circle, being able to get the cash and serve their country.

Either that or he didn't pay up. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
