2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

The news above is a story about a 29 year old man who stole a cabinet for storing guns and ammo and was killed trying to open it, probably using something like a blow torch (the story does not mention what was used to open the cabinet).

Other facts in the story: He was found dead five meters from a house, undergoing renovations at the time and large parts of the building was destroyed in the explosion.

The owner of the house was not present but close by.

The nominee had been arrested for theft and other crimes but was released a few days before the incident.

The explosion happened at midnight in Kringelstad, a small city between Helsingborg and Landskrona on the west coast of Sweden.

The police theory is that he tried to open a large gun cabinet, stolen a few days earlier.

If he KNEW the gun safe contained ammunition and used a torch to open it, I'd say it qualifies-
