A WORLD
FULL OF CLOSET CRIMINALS
Tony Musulin is a 39-year-old French
security van driver. Well he was.
On Thursday, Tony and his three Loomis co-workers
were transporting €11,6-million (about R120-million)
in cash, when his two colleagues stepped out of
the van briefly to run an errand.
When they returned, Tony, the van,
and the money had disappeared.
The empty van was found three hours later in an
area nearby.

Tony had vanished off the face of the
earth, with 49 sacks of bills picked up from the Bank
of France in Lyons, and instantly became an online hero.
No guns or violence was used in this heist,
which is believed to be a first in France.
Now, Tony Musulin has become somewhat
of a word-wide hero on the Internet.
Several Facebrook groups have cropped up and it seems
most people admire, even worship him.
The Tony Musulin Fan Club hails him as a hero for his
‘no guns, no violence’ approach, and there
is even a 'Tony Musulin for President' group.
Yet another group is called ‘The
World is Yours: Tony Best Driver 2009’ and describes
his crime as ‘the heist of the century.’
It seems that ordinary folks still admire
crooks, criminals and gangsters, much like in the days
of Al Capone and Lucky Luciano.
Can it be that
most people are closet criminals without the gumption
to step out and go public? |
