I saw this on The Register in the week and it made me chuckle! An armed robber in Austria picked the wrong back to rob, which unfortunately was located next door to Austria’s special forces headquarters and a police station.

While the hostage situation developed the robber started taking telephone calls from customers enquiring about loans, where he agreed every loan request:

Duly surrounded, Baum made his way to the building’s first floor with three staff and a customer as hostages, and then rather agreeably “started taking calls from customers offering loans as the police waited outside”.

After five hours, Baum gave himself up “leaving the bank to deal with the angry customers who thought they had secured the answer to their financial problems”

I wonder if the bank honoured the loans?
