It's something I have always thought and this proves it. It just goes to show our armed forces are up there as the best in the world.
We should start a war, it’s one of the few things we’re still good at. Get the ball rolling with somewhere we could take in a day or so. Like France.
A European manhunt is under way for a man accused of one of the biggest burglaries in English legal history, a BBC investigation has found. Alfredo Lindley is said to have led a series of burglaries on the luxury homes of three celebrities in December 2019 - including a £25m raid on the home of F1 heiress Tamara Ecclestone. Italian authorities also accuse Lindley of raiding the home of Patrick Vieira, now Crystal Palace manager, in 2009. Lindley is believed to be in Belgrade. The 40-year-old Peruvian national has a criminal record in Italy for scams and burglaries under multiple identities dating back to 1995, according to court documents obtained by the BBC. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-59049960
I had to check, and I'm glad I did. Comisar grew up in Beverly Hills, California. As a young man he sold a "solar powered clothes dryer" in national magazines for $49.95. Buyers received a length of clothesline. Comisar has been arrested and convicted of numerous crimes. Comisar was convicted of a variety of frauds in 1983, 1990, 1994 and 1999. All these trials took place in Federal court in Los Angeles. Comisar used the working name Brett Champion during the period when he said he had retired from his career as a con man and posed as a fraud prevention expert and consultant, using it on Dateline NBC, The View, Sally, Leeza, Crook & Chase, and in various other television appearances, and when he wrote the book America's Guide to Fraud Prevention. Comisar is now prohibited from using this alias or from referring to himself as a consumer fraud expert. His book is considered a "piece of fraud history" by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners and is on display in their fraud museum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Comisar
