Steal Wrong Machine
January 3, 2002 10:51 am EST
BERLIN (Reuters) - Robbers in Germany tried to steal fresh euros by tearing out a cash machine but drove off with an account statement dispenser by mistake, police said Thursday.
In one of the most hapless attempts yet to steal the new single currency launched Tuesday, three men used a stolen van to pull out the window of a bank branch in Friedersdorf near Berlin Tuesday night.
But police called to the scene found the cash machine containing euro notes intact and in place while a separate account statement dispenser was missing.
