RIP Peter Scott, king of the cat burglars:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/9949054/Peter-Scott.html
You may have died broke but you left us a fun obituary.
― woof, Saturday, 23 March 2013 10:35 (eleven years ago) link
I wasn't aware of him, but this quote in the obituary is fantastic: “The people I burgled got rich by greed and skulduggery. They indulged in the mechanics of ostentation — they deserved me and I deserved them. If I rob Ivana Trump, it is just a meeting of two different kinds of degeneracy on a dark rooftop.”
