Take these tunes and shove ‘em

The Reg manages to keep a straight face for some of this story:

Police in the Czech Republic have arrested a man who attempted to steal a digital music player by concealing it in his anus.

The thief was caught when the shoplifting alarm rang loud and proud at the supermarket he had entered in the town of Prerov. Nabbed by staff, he was found to have a pair of earphones stashed in his slacks.

Yet the earphones had no alarm-system tag. What had cause the bell to ring? Searching the man more thoroughly, security guards uncovered a tube of lube in his pocket.

To quote Interested-Participant: “Frankly, this story is hard to believe.” Well, maybe. Then again:

Sony MP3 Walkman

Dimensions: 84.9 x 28.8 x 13.9mm. You gotta admit, it’s easier than an iPod.

    The RIAA will now call for a ban on concealable music players.

    As some of you may recall, I own one of those little suppositories Sonys, in precisely that shade. However, the only dark place it’s been deployed has been a storage bin at the bottom of the car’s center stack.

    Must be a profitable line of business, reselling stuff smuggled this way. And you can’t call it second hand, strictly speaking ;-)

    I was going to say something about the rules of handling firearms, but “handling” just didn’t seem to make sense in that context.
