Robbers dig man-hole tunnel into jewellery store

Talk of being caught red handed

After taking a month to dig a one-kilometre tunnel to a jewellery store in Italy, four would-be thieves were nabbed at the last minute and were "just a few metres" from their target, when two of them were seen climbing out of a manhole. Hahahaha.
The men who tipped off police were also spotted carrying walkie-talkies in the picturesque town centre of Acireale in Sicily. Mountain rescue climbers called in by police on Tuesday found a narrow rocky tunnel with its own lighting system, as well as shovels and pickaxes.
Italian police earlier this month foiled a similar attempt at a famous jeweller's in Naples where thieves had dug a 30-metre tunnel. The same store was hit successfully in January by robbers who entered the premises through the sewers.

If they can put in that much effort, why not take up jobs as miners or underground engineers?

There is a manhole in front of you lady! Well it is in a town in the US. We do love a good laugh you know. Some of the laws that are passed in a lot of countries are so funny, but some are just plain balmy. Though this makes a lot of sense but its still just funny. It is now an offence to walk while you are texting (or sexting as the case may be) in Fort Lee, New Jersey, for about a month now and already the local police department has issued 117 tickets at $85 per offence after 20 accidents were caused by distracted pedestrians texting and strolling across the road. So if you are ever in Fort Lee, New Jersey and caught walking on the sidewalk and texting (this includes tweeting, BBM and any other form of textings), you will be charged with 'Reckless walking' and a fine of $85. Happy texting!
