| Thieves Take Coffeemaker - Leave New Citroens |
| 2005-01-06 |
| German detectives are hunting thieves who broke into a car showroom and stole only the coffee machine. Very focused. Prolly needed a fix. Dozens of brand new Citroen cars were parked in the showroom in Bonn and the keys were on the wall. This is too easy. But the thieves ignored all the new motors, and instead unplugged and made off with the coffee machine. Since this was in Bonn, ya think it was a Bunn? Ooooh, prolly a 2-burner model. No wonder. Bonn police spokesman Robert Scholten said: "The coffee machine was a pretty good one but not worth as much as a new car. Oh yeah? How're they selling? "Staff only discovered the theft when they went to make a drink in the kitchen and realised the machine was missing." And there you have it. No fix for youze guyz this morning, heh. The showroom which was owned by the Citroen main dealer in Bonn is on the main street. Police so far have no clues as to the identity of the culprits. Not so dumb, eh? Tip: Look for jittery people with bloodshot eyes - driving something other than a Citroen. |

| #8 Hey, I've heard this one. They also left the dealership's [film] camera, and when the film was finally developed, it showed the thieves with the Citroens stuck up their nether regions! |

| #3 My husband thought he wanted one of those fancy espresso machines for his birthday, so I looked into it. We are talking US$1500 for a good one (they look like Porsches, too!), $600+ for the mediocre one for which you have to buy a separate bean grinding machine. I'd say the thieves made the right choice. BTW, no, Mr. Wife did not get a new espresso machine. He is making do with the classic Italian stovetop espresso pot (for which my mother paid $11 back in 1991). |
