Burglars Google their way into Safes
I just love this kind of story.
“The burglary at Bigg City, formerly Mr. Bigg’s Family Fun Center, turned into a comedy of errors early June 10. The burglars tried to disable a security camera by repeatedly spraying it with WD-40—it only cleaned the lens—and spent an hour and 15 minutes trying to open three safes—apparently unaware that some types require the dial to be turned two or three times around.”
They finally did a Google search for “how to open a safe” and “how to crack a safe” on a computer in the next room.
“They’re not professional safe people,” said Colorado Springs police detective Chuck Ackerman. “No, they’re not.”
On the other hand, the Google query apparently worked; they haven’t been caught, and they did get about $12,000.
