Foil, not just for hats anymore! Tinfoil is apparently not just good for keeping the lizard people from reading your thoughts from afar, with a little wit and the silver stuff you can also wreak havoc on those high security and dimple locks that are just a little too hard to pick sometimes.

IDG News Service – U.S. federal authorities arrested a 26-year-old man on Thursday for allegedly selling modified cable modems that enabled free Internet access, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Matthew Delorey of New Bedford, Mass., is charged with one count of conspiracy and one count of wire fraud. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison for each charge, and a $250,000 fine.

An estimated $27 million worth of art, including works by Jackson Pollock, Vincent Van Gogh and Rembrandt, were stolen from a Pebble Beach home on Friday.

Today in Sweden we saw an amazing movie-like heist. Early this morning a white helicopter landed on the roof of a money depot, three men walked out and into the building, the helicopter lifted again and hovered above the building, explosions went off, the robbers came back out with several large bags after the helicopter landed again and they took off.

Many witnesses who live nearby saw the whole thing and gave detailed descriptions of the modus operandi. http://www.thelocal.se/22234/20090923/ Update: Seems CNN has got the story too: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/09/23/stockholm.helicopter.heist/index.html
Ever wonder how to gain ownership of a building with least amount of work regardless of legality? The New York Daily News “acquired” the Empire State building in about 90 minutes of work. Here is their story: http://www.nydailynews.com/money/2008/12/02/2008-12-02_it_took_90_minutes_for_daily_news_to_ste.html Seems like there is a lot of money in these mortgage fraud cases, not that I’m encouraging anything.
