Thieves Snatch Diamond Truck at Airport

Revive of an old thread...
I just saw read this in the news on yahoo.
Impressive, I wonder how good their fence is.

another article
Thieves pull big diamond heist in Holland

"BBC cited unconfirmed reports that the load of “high-value goods” was worth at least 75 million euros (approximately $99 million U.S.)."

Hmmm... much better than the bank one mentioned earlier, the diamonds at least can be much easier to unload. Or at least themselves be used as a sort of currency.

Millions of Nickles Stolen From Fed

Just for the implausibility behind it.

They've found most of them, but $44,000 is still missing.

Every morning four or five runners break into my house, roust me out of bed, feed me, shave me, drive me to work and make me slave away with a gun to my head.


No wait, I have children, runners don't scare me.

Sorry to bring up this old thread, but I thought this was appropriate more or less for what I wanted to bring up.

Freak weather hitting explorers

Basic gist of it is that a 70 man exploration team was hit in a remote part of China by a combined snowstorm, rainstorm, and sandstorm. A freak once in a century thing that killed 15 people. In Shadowrun terms, I can see some nature spirit or shaman wrecking vengeance upon energy/mineral exploration teams in remote areas to prevent further exploitation of the region. Anyway, something I thought that was interesting.

Nope. I always thought this art heist was rather interesting, especially since it is still unsolved today, where I believe the statute of limitations may have already run out. CNN did an in depth story on this a few years ago, you can find it here.

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

I don't think we can necessarily agree that they're going to become more rare.
