This is True

Thief Blows It

A thief snatched a bag from a train in Reading, west of London, England, but paused after he got outside the station to look inside. He found enough explosives to make several bombs — he had apparently ripped off a terrorist group. He ran away, screaming, “It’s a bomb, it’s a bomb!” Scotland Yard’s anti terrorist team disposed of the explosives, while a witness observed, “I think he’ll think twice about nicking bags that aren’t his again.” (Reuters) ...The witness originally thought the guy had found a videotape of “Last Action Hero”.
