$65 million equivalent in Brazilian currency is taken from Brazil's central bank. While I don't approve of theft, the methodology in this particular crime is pretty neat - one of the possible suspects is some criminal mastermind who escaped from prison in 2001 by tunneling out. For this robbery, the thieves tunneled in. Apparently the money had been gone for weeks, but they just discovered it this weekend. And I thought this only happened in the movies!
