Love it. | Of course, the really dangerous ones are the ones that can do it. A RISKS digest I think, but I cannot find the cite. I do recall a story somewhere about some army guys breaking into a fireworks factory with a torch, and that it was known they were army guys because there was a gate they'd ignored nearby. I found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vuurwerkramp but it doesn't match my recollection. This page: http://www.sandlingfireworks.co.uk/index.html (follow the "NEWS" link) has it: 26/9/00 Dim witted thieves break into Sandling Fireworks factory using a welding torch!!!!! Really!!!! Amazingly nothing caught fire and they lived to tell the tale - to the police. 95% of the fireworks stolen have now been recovered by police. You have heard the expression "as thick as thieves", well they don't come much thicker than this! Doh!
