Burglars Break into Prison, Steal TVs

Well they would have the element of surprise. It’s like those kids who tried to hold up a police station. Who would expect that criminals would try to break into a prison?

It would make a good gag for a comedy if it weren’t actually true – thieves have broken into a Dutch prison to steal the inmates’ televisions.

Twice in the last six weeks, burglars broke into a minimum-security prison and stole TVs from cells while prisoners were away for the weekend, a spokesman for the justice ministry said on Wednesday.

    This took place in my home town; it’s akward to see a post about it on my favorite website, since I’m not sure wether to be amused or ashamed. It certianly makes my country seem clumsy at the least. Still funny though…

    “while prisoners were away for the weekend”
    does this make any sense to anyone?
