I think this is actually a record. Bank guards at a private bank in Baghdad yesterday decided to take their jobs and shove it. Before leaving, however, they helped themselves to $282-million and they took it in US dollars, not Iraqi dinar either.
This being Iraq, there are a lot of unanswered questions and even more suspicions. Why did the bank have that much American cash on hand? How did the two or three errant guards get away with it undetected? According to The New York Times:
Several officials speculated that the robbers had connections to the militias, because it would be difficult for them to move without being searched through many checkpoints in Baghdad.
Militias? Involved in bank robbery? Really? Go figure.
