Is it Just Me, Or Is Our Mainframe Missing? Australian Customs have recently suffered a rather unfortunate set back in their "War Against Terror" with the admission that two of their secure mainframe servers have been wheeled out of the building by persons unknown.
Israeli Super Drone Stolen Globes Online reports that Steadicopter's prototype pilotless helicopter was stolen a few days after the completion of its test program and final test flights. |

Radioactive? The ambassador was assassinated with a pellet coated in ricin, unless you're thinking of something else.

I've been saying you couldnt have written a more deep and complex conspiracy. The Russian backed president wins dispite everyone saying its rigged, the opposition leader poisoned by unknown agents. A country on the verge of splitting in the middle. The Johnson slides into the booth, "hello ladies and gentlemen have any of you been to europe?" |

In 2000 a group made a run at the Debeers diamond exhibit at London's Milenium Dome.
Their plan was to use a bulldozer parked at the site from constrictuion to go through the dome's side near the exhibit, throughing out gas grenades , knock over the display cases and then run to a boat waiting on the Thames. to escape by river with 500,000,000.00 in diamonds. the only problem was the police were on to them and waiting, disguised as workmen, with guns hidden in dustbins. My husband and I were in london that day and whne we heard the report on a radio, he looked at me and asked "Do you know where all your friends are?" "On which side?" "does it matter?" |

Was that the one where the crooks used a Nailgun to shatter the bulletproof casing?

I might be thinking of a different one.
The guys had to wait until low tide to be able to get away, then they drove a tractor in and then they defeated the 'undefeatable' protective glass with a nailgun. But yes, the cops got word of it (the guys were scoping it out for a long time) and they got em. |

I think they used both.
That was interesting as the thieves gave themselves up and used the classic line "its a fair cop gov" while being hand cuffed. |

I can just imagine the Johnson explaining:
"We have some chemical weapons that need to be smuggled out of the country into Syria..." |

Nothing. I was confusing it with something completely unrelated. My bad.

The auction of Juganskneftegaz, the amazingly low bids by all the large, well-known companies and how a small company no one had ever heard of before managed to raise 7 billion euros (over $9 billion). I bet corporate- and government-specialized faces have been working overtime.

Immediate nationalization looks bad. But not releasing their trustee "protection" of it to a company that doesn't pay is more... tenable. |

I think we can all agree then, that these types of incidents will become more common before they become more rare.

It reminds me alot of things we have done in runs.
Luckily (or unluckily) you need a space suit to pull this one off in the year 2064. |
