Thieves Use Vacuum To Siphon Cash From Safes
Tootech writes "A gang of thieves armed with a powerful vacuum cleaner that sucks cash from supermarket safes has struck for the fifteenth time in France. The burglars broke into their latest store near Paris and drilled a hole in the pneumatic tube that siphons money from the checkout to the strong-room. They then sucked rolls of cash totaling £60,000 from the safe without even having to break its lock. Police said the gang — dubbed the Vacuum Burglars — always raid Monoprix supermarkets and have hit 15 of the stores branches around Paris in the past four years. A spokesman added: 'They spotted a weakness in the company's security system and have been exploiting it ever since.'"
Did anyone else picture the Beagle Boys doing this when you read the article?

That sucks.
That's it. We should ban vacuums.
Wouldn't a government required registration of vacuums be sufficient?
That's it. We should ban vacuums.
That idea sucks.
