Headlines you don't see every day..."Playboy cushion robbery..."
(LM: If you rob a train and all you get are cushions, you have chosen the wrong career…you are not Butch Cassidy...the posse trailing Playboy cushion thieves might be interesting, though…this is from BBC News.)

Playboy cushion robbery in France

A goods train in southern France has been attacked by robbers who made off with cushions bearing the Playboy logo.

The attack happened in the northern suburbs of Marseille, the regional newspaper La Provence reports.

It says the thieves blocked the track with sleepers, causing the 700m (760-yard) train to screech to a halt, and forced open a number of containers.

Apart from the Playboy cushions, police said it was not clear what else was taken. The train driver was not harmed.

The car used in the robbery was later found burnt.


(LM: No link because there is no more…all that is left is the mockery…)

1. Look for them to turn up on Ebay and/or the black market.
I saw a TV show about couple that routinely broke into Hooters restaurant and stole logoed merchandise.
