A $240,000 Airplane Lavatory Heist
OK, it's still a crime. But can we say the guy who stole almost $250,000 from an airplane's hold by crawling through the bathroom earned, maybe, $100,000 of it?
The unidentified crook complained of feeling sick and spent most of the flight in the bathroom, flight attendants told police.
But in fact, airline officials said, the man was tearing out panels in the restroom in order to crawl into the cargo hold.
A Brink's security guard had placed sacks of cash containing $1.6 million in the hold of the Air Antilles plane before it took off from Guadeloupe for a 40 minute trip to Saint Martin, according to Fox News.The guard discovered that $238,000 was missing after he retrieved the sacks when the plane landed.
Citizens of Saint Martin: Be on the lookout for a rich, stinky man.
