Common Crims

These poms are nothing but common criminals:

The United Kingdom's Securitas depot robbery took place on 22 February 2006, between 1:00 am and 2:15 am GMT. At least six men tied up fifteen staff members and stole between £25 million and £40 million[1] (US$43 million to US$70 million) in banknotes from a Securitas Cash Management Ltd. Tonbridge, Kent.

But seriously, the UK seems to have a history of extravgant robberies. Whenever you hear the words 'great' and 'robbery', it's from the UK. In Ireland I read the 'Great Train Robbery' - loosely based on a British heist in 1855 - written by Michael Crichton. A couple of months later a Northern Irish* bank was robbed to the tune of £26.5 million. Ouch.

Good thing Australian immigration checks these Brits for criminal records before allowing them to migrate to our beautiful law-abiding nation ;)

*Since the bank was in Northern Ireland, and not the Republic of Ireland, that makes it part of the UK. While in the Republic of Ireland, my mate mentioned this fact to his Irish boss who responded with: Ah boy, you're lucky you're carrying that shovel there...
