TOKYO – The earthquake and tsunami that pulverized coastal Japan crippled a bank's security mechanisms and left a vault wide open. That allowed someone to walk off with 40 million yen ($500,000).

the vault came open. And it took 11 days to figure out they had been robbed ?? (nice clean get away!) I bet this will make the thiefs rebuilding of their home much easyer!

    And I was just watching a report last night on CNN that said there was no looting,
    crime or other problems. Just a few spats!
    Maybe in Japan that's not a crime.

    PS: overall I think they are doing much better than we could ever do!

    it's also possible the money was swept away unless there's proof it was actually removed by hand. Story doesn't say too much.
