teh bunneh Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Re: Today's Dumb Criminal Story ... I guarantee this is what was going through his mind... "Hey, there's a huge box of quarters here in the garage, buried under a bunch of other crap, with a half-inch of dust on it. They don't even know it's here! Because if they did, they wouldn't just leave it sitting out here in storage. There's gotta be at least 30 or 40 dollars worth in here, and they don't even know it! ...Dude, if I took it, they wouldn't even realize it was gone. How cool is that?"

Cancer Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Mexican truck carrying cobalt-60 robbed They stole a truck carrying cobalt-60 (the truck itself was legit, but not properly equipped, so they probably did not know what they were stealing), opened the box, and ditched everything. Most likely, they'll be dead soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely, they'll be dead soon. I just read about a thai salvage yard having cobalt-60 mixed into it's stuff and not being found until radioactive items made from the steel started turning up. Hmm, the thai item was back in 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christougher Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 I just read about a thai salvage yard having cobalt-60 mixed into it's stuff and not being found until radioactive items made from the steel started turning up. Hmm, the thai item was back in 2000. If this is the same story I heard... The radioactive stuff was from an old Xray machine. It was discovered by a radiation detector going off at a highway checkpoint - the detectors over 100 feet away on the road going the other direction. And the poor staffers weren't properly trained how to react when the sensor went off... Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markdoc Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Haven't heard about that one, but a ship was quarantined in Italy (Genoa) when it was detected as emitting unsafe levels of radiation. It took robots about a year to pick through nearly 25,000 tons of scrap metal on board to find the source .... a cobalt-90 rod about 20 centimetres long and 1 cm thick (say, about 8 inches long by a third of an inch thick). It's nasty stuff. I don't recall the exact number but safe exposure time at close range was just a few minutes. cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Sheffield must be the Florida of the UK. I can assure you it is not. Sean 'Boromir' Bean comes from Sheffield and is a proud supporter of one of the two clubs from there. it is a steel town. I cannot reveal where the Florida of the UK is. We don't have Disneyland, Alligaters (or crocodiles) and Hurricanes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
