Sumo Wrestler Steals Cash Machine From Moscow Shop

Posted by kdawson on from the you-want-fries-with-that? dept.

timothy writes "Anyone skeevy and devious enough can buy online an ATM skimmer from some underhanded maker of same, but why not cut out the middleman, and just take the cash directly? (Also, if you're going to attempt to stop him, can I have your watch when you are dead?)"

    I thought this was in idle and was wondering why it was in my RSS feed and then saw it's in YRO. Come on slashdot...

      Best. Summary. Ever. No information was left out. It is the perfect example to which all other summaries pale in comparison. It set the bar so high. Here was my pitiful attempt:

      A man believed to be a sumo wrestler ripped out a cash machine weighing 90kg (200lb) and made off with it on his shoulders, police in Moscow report.

      The machine containing 25,320 roubles ($850) was found in his car.

    This story has nothing to do with "Your Rights Online", it isn't news for nerds, and it doesn't matter.

    It may be entertaining but it's not remotely slashdot material.
