[QUOTE]RIO DE JANEIRO -- Police in Brazil's southeastern Sao Paulo state are investigating the theft of 50 metric tons (55 U.S. tons) of corn from a moving train.

A police report says the thieves greased the train tracks, making the wheels of the 54-wagon locomotive skid and slow down before they used a tow truck with a hook to remove the corn-filled containers.

The report says the theft occurred as the train traveled through a rural area about 180 miles (300 kilometers) north of the capital. The train was headed to the southeastern port of Santos with 60 metric tons (66 U.S. tons) of corn and sugar.

[B]The case is reminiscent of Wild West robberies, where bandits on horses stole from moving trains.[/B]

I don't mean to condone theft or anything but this is goddamn genius.

"All you had to do was get the damn corn, CJ!"

They have since released a composite sketch of the head thief, as compiled via several eyewitness testimonials.

Even real Brazilian thieves can come up with a better train theft plan than the people who wrote Fast Five.

Yeah, I read it, but it just seems extremely weird not to be able to stop this shit due to it probably taking a while.
