Harrowing Ordeal of the Day
Harrowing Ordeal of the Day: In what may be a rather tactless promotion for the next Saw film and/or 30 Minutes or Less, an 18-year-old girl from upscale Burrawong Avenue in the Sydney suburb of Mosman was freed from a “very elaborate†collar bomb shortly after midnight local time after been trapped in it for 10 hours.
According to a police report, a balaclava-clad intruder broke into Madeleine Pulver’s multimillion-dollar home, and attached a device to her before fleeing.
Pulver told police the stranger left behind a ransom note. It is believed that Madeleine, the daughter of businessman Bill Pulver, was the victim of an extortion plot.
There had been no contact between Pulver and her parents during the ordeal, nor had the intruder attempted to re-establish contact.
“The important thing, ladies and gentlemen, is the young lady is safe,†said Assistant Commissioner Mark Murdoch following the scare’s conclusion. Australian Federal Police and the British military were called in to advise while bomb technicians “[came] to grips†with the “very sophisticated device.â€

What? They just break into someone's house to strap a bomb on them, then leave without stealing from a "multimillion-dollar home"?
Even with the ransom note, you could steal thousands worth of items in that time :what:
Tactless indeed! - but congratulations for being able to take the bomb off :thumb:

Hire that guy to strap everyone that comes on the property with a bomb necklace.
Good protection if you ask me

Bomb was fake, was a practical joke. However no one told the girl that. The police took it seriously because they note was spelled correctly and had proper grammar or something XD

Based on states, Peters was found due to an email address he'd left on the collar bomb ransom note. That fifty-year-old Paul Douglas Peters, the suspect in the Aussie teen collar bomb case, has been captured by federal authorities -
Aussie teen collar bomb suspect nabbed by FBI, reports the Guardian. Peters was captured at his ex-wife's house by a joint task force consisting of an Federal Bureau of Investigation Swat team and Australian law enforcement.
