Cannes sneak thieves
Risky Biz Blog's Stuart Kemp (apparently sharing duties with Gregg Kilday) is reporting that a gang of French thieves is working the Croisette, " turning over apartments and stealing whatever they can get their hands on. Every year as Cannes kicks off, there are always tales of thievery. It's a known fact that criminals steal in, take what they can from unsuspecting visitors, before melting away as the first weekend approaches. This year, a movie marketing team awoke one morning to find thieves had been in their room while they slept, spiriting away televisions, computers and cash."

Are they sure this isn't a totally misguided attempt to market OCEAN'S 13?

That sounds exciting, but I'm dying to know how No Country for Old Men was!

It's not the thieves you have to worry about in France anymore.
It's the infected.

"today, some hooligans overturned a dust bin in shaftsbury..."
