We know that not everybody gets his news from the BBC. If that’s the case with you, you may have missed this story:
PLAYBOY CUSHION ROBBERY IN FRANCE
A goods train in southern France has been attacked by robbers who made off with cushions bearing the Playboy logo. The attack happened in the northern suburbs of Marseille, the regional newspaper La Provence reports.
It says the thieves blocked the track with sleepers, causing the 700m (760-yard) train to screech to a halt, and forced open a number of containers.
Apart from the Playboy cushions, police said it was not clear what else was taken. The train driver was not harmed. The car used in the robbery was later found burnt.
(Note: the cushion in the accompanying photo was not the item actually purloined.)
