Italians Use Finger To Rob Bank

Italians Use Finger To Rob Bank


January 28 - A resourceful group of Italian robbers used a severed
finger to defeat a bank's security system and steal 10,000 Euros
($12,900). The only problem was they left the finger behind.

The bank on the outskirts of Rome was equipped with "Bio Digit" which
records the digital imprint of the index finger of each person who
pushes the entry button on the airlock.

According to the Italian media on Saturday, the two robbers used "the
finger of the right hand from a body, perhaps that of a woman," to
mask their digital identity and gain access to the bank.

The hold-up went perfectly; except for when police arrived they found
the finger in question lying on the pavement in front of the bank.

"One can imagine the finger was kept in ice to stop it decomposing."

"Investigators are checking morgues to see if any bodies are missing a
finger, and making sure it doesn't belong to someone on file,"
reporters said.

"Bio Digit questo culo! There's an Italian woman roaming the country
with one less finger to pick her nose with.

Why did the hold-up go perfectly? The bank tellers must have been
smiling when they handed over our money.

Bank charges and statements seem to be an emotive issue in Italy.
Yes, they can be confusing.
Yes, the charges are high.
Yes, they will make you emotionally angry!

You have no idea how many Italians would love to go to their local
bank and give them the "finger".
