Crimes worth noting.

And you thought that a developed country or city is perfect?



DUBAI - A giganormous theft in Wafi Mall on the 15th of April left the whole of Dubai shocked out of their wits. 50 million DOLLARS worth of jewellery was stolen from the Mall.

Largest jewel robbery (Belgium) - At the Antwerp Diamond center, Belgium, over the weekend of 15/16 February 2003, 123 of the 160 vaults were emptied, with an estimated loss of at least $100 million.

Largest robbery by a mugger (UK) - Treasury bills and certificates of deposit worth $435 million were stolen when a mugger attacked a money-broker's messenger in the city of London, UK, on May 2, 1990.

Largest drug seizures - On September 29, 1989 in Sylmar, California, USA, officers from the Drug Enforcement Administration seized 21,570 kg of cocaine. The largest heroin seizure took place in Bangkok, Thailand, on February 11, 1988 when officers seized 1,277 kg of heroin.




Think again.




PS: I'm really sorry, and I know this has nothing to do with the topic, but I just HAD to tell all of you. Pablo Picasso's full name is.....*drum roll please*.....
Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno de los Remedios Crispin Cipriano de la Santisma Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso.
I'll give you a minute to retrieve your breath.
He is also the most prolific painter. In a career that lasted 75 years, Picasso (I will refrain from typing his name out again) has produced about 13,500 painting and designs, 100,000 prints and engravings, 34,000 book illustrations, and 300 sculptures and ceramics.
Yeah, catch your breath again.
