Museum Security: Do not as Cairo Does

ABC News tells the story of the massive security shortcomings at Cairo's museums, which have come to light after a popular van Gogh painting was stolen from the Mahmoud Khalil Museum on Saturday.

The Egyptian Museum houses some of the world's prized antiquities, including the gold mask of King Tut that draws millions of tourists a year. But it also has an outdated video surveillance system that doesn't work around the clock and guards who snooze, read the Quran or are seemingly too bored to pay attention.

Shortly after van Gogh's 1887 painting "Poppy Flowers" was stolen, museum officials discovered that no alarms were working, and only seven of their 43 cameras were operating. With those odds, stealing a priceless piece of art is like shooting fish in a barrel.

"The value of the van Gogh is $40 (million) to $50 million," Cremers told The Associated Press. "A complete security system of that museum would be $50,000, and to keep it running would cost $3,000 a year. ... Need I say more?"

ATM Thieves Use Breasts to Distract Their Victim

The U.K. Telegraph reported that two women were captured on CCTV in Paris using their breasts to distract an ATM customer--so they could steal 300 euros from his account.

The two women, both in their 20s, could not be identified. A French police official told the Telegraph: “We would advise anyone withdrawing cash from a machine to focus on what they are doing and not allow themselves to be distracted, however attractive the view."

CCTV Captures Times Square Car Bombing Suspect

New York City police officers investigating Saturday's failed car bombing attempt in Times Square announced today that they have CCTV footage of a possible suspect.

The surveillance video shows a 40-something white male shedding clothing in a nearby alleyway and stashing it in a bag. Police also found what they believe to be fertilizer, as well as propane tanks, fireworks, petrol containers, electrical wire and other components in the SUV.
