$68M Stolen From Brazil Bank

[Churlant]

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - Thieves tunneled into a bank in northeastern Brazil and stole $68 million, the biggest bank heist in the nation’s history, police said Monday.

“It’s something you see in the movies. ... They dug a 200-meter (650-foot) tunnel that goes underneath two (city) blocks. They’ve been digging for three months,” police investigator Francisco Queiroga told Reuters by telephone.

The thieves broke into a branch of the central bank in the northeastern state of Ceara over the weekend and removed 156 million reals ($68 million).

I gotta say, I hate thieves, but I sort of get a adolescent respect for the guys that did this.

Hate them or love them, what they pulled off was pretty impressive. And yes they're bastards for having committed a robery.

Dude, they dug an impressive tunnel in order to rob the bank blind. The only other impressive thing like that was in France.
