Man Pleads Guilty to Stealing Enigma Machine

Posted by timothy on from the or-at-least-touching-it dept.

Adler writes: "A man has pleaded guilty to to 'handling' the stolen Enigma machine in the UK. Its a short piece, but says that some vital parts of the machine are still missing. A longer BBC News piece is here." You may remember when this was first stolen, then held for ransom, then recovered -- this is the mopping up part.

  1. completely offtopic by Marcus+Brody · · Score: 0, Troll

    Basically, I'm completely pissed, so i am gonna post something completely offtopic, yet strangekly relevant.
    Bletchley Park.
    Thats where the war was won.
    As much as the Somme....

    I live in bletchley, MK
    2 minutes walk to bletchley psrk.
    And you wanna know abouth this place???

    Man this ids the most boring dull, back end armpit of the earth, a hell hole full of inbreds who havent left this twon for 6 generations.
    The IQ of the population lep 10fold when Alan Turing arrived (more offtopic-ness: why to gays (and i'm saying this an afectionate way, i love em even thou i aint one)... pick such bad role models..... ie steps, elton john, princess die, when they have someone like Turing to look up to), and since turing left, the town has gone ven further down hilll.
    Anyways.... Any yanks coming over here..... avoid bletchley at all costs - at best, you will prbably come away with BSE

    ---- you think this is flaimbait - just wait till you come here ---
