Curiosity Kills the Carjacker

The criminal's life can be so hard. Two carjackers abscond with a truck (after beating up the legitimate driver and his assistant) but don't realize it's carrying a butt-load of cobalt-60 (used in hospitals for radiotherapy) ... time's probably running out on 'em.

I actually did LOL at that! Thank you.

 

PACHUCA, Mexico (AP) — Federal police are blocking access to a central Mexico hospital where six people may have radiation exposure.

An official familiar with the case confirmed Mexican media reports that the six have been admitted to the general hospital in the city of Pachuca and may have been exposed to a stolen source of cobalt-60.

All six people say they are innocent and have no idea how they came into contact with cobalt-60. One of them said his wife may have spiked his drink."
