A Shining Example of Albanian Public Education: Dynamic dodos fumble FedEx theft
Bungling crooks hijacked a FedEx truck filled with Christmas packages Friday - but left empty-handed because they couldn't figure out how to open containers holding $1 million in merchandise, police said. All the valuables were still in the 18-wheeler when police recovered it on a desolate Brooklyn street early Friday, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.In a bizarre twist, the failed robbers gave the kidnapped driver $60 after freeing him - offering no explanation for the apparent tip, a police source said. The FedEx driver, Robert McGary, 47, told police he was driven around for three hours in the SUV and the robbers even stopped at a fast-food drive-thru window. The hijackers' plan was thwarted by their own stupidity when they were unable to detach the six large cargo containers from the floor of the truck. McGary told investigators he believes his captors were Albanian because of their accents and the conversation he overheard, Kelly said. Cops found the abandoned truck about 5:30 a.m. at the corner of India and West Sts. in Greenpoint. Investigators were reviewing its inventory last night. Posted by: Icerigger 2007-12-22 |
