DanJW Posted August 3, 2011 I immediately thought of this quote from The Boondock Saints: Paul Smecker: Television. Television is the explanation for this - you see this in bad television. Little assault guys creeping through the vents, coming in through the ceiling - that James Bond shit never happens in real life! Professionals don't do that!

MrHoatzin Posted August 4, 2011 Weird how the article kept mentioning how wealthy her family was in the weirdest of throwaway adjectives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwardinen Posted August 4, 2011 Weird how the article kept mentioning how wealthy her family was in the weirdest of throwaway adjectives. Yeah, that was my big throwaway too. It was mentioned in the video too, but in the article every other sentence kept dropping hints that if you maybe wanted a ransom, this girl might be a great target. It started getting somewhat creepy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted August 4, 2011 The bomb is fake. And they still have no trace of the "burglar". This whole story smells. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syntheticgerbil Posted August 4, 2011 So are Australians incapable of figuring out whether a bomb is real or not? The article didn't seem to conclude it was fake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thompson Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Update. My assumption is that some dude decided to extort money from this family by holding the daughter hostage by proxy with a fake explosive device. Update 2. This story just gets weirder and weirder. Edited August 5, 2011 by Thompson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
