Video of failed bank break-in in France
by Mark Frauenfelder from on (#2HR4H)
A gang of masked thieves attempted a late-night heist at a bank (or some other building) in Pernes-les-Fontaines (southeastern France). They succeeded in partially ramming through the wall with a large flatbed truck, but then the truck got stuck. They ended up lighting the truck cab on fire and taking off in two cars. Someone caught the whole thing on video and posted it to YouTube.
It's a scene out of one of Donald Westlake's Dortmunder novels.
