Second and third rounds on the dossier pipeline, reviewed locally before commit. Retrieval - wayback_pass.py: retries every BLOCKED/DEAD/THIN/ERROR linked source through the Wayback Machine; blocks carry the snapshot date, archive URL and the live verdict. 143 slots retried: 93 fetched, 37 no snapshot, 12 script shells, 1 PDF. - fetch_sources.py: fetch_wayback() helper. - add_extra_sources.py: files staged extra_* finds (web search, not on the DB record) into the store with a provenance note. - Cases re-sourced by web search: 248 (Oslo: Document.no, Avisa Oslo, NRK; the linked Le Parisien piece is case 242 and is marked OFF-CASE), 258 Kharkiv, 260 Singapore, 358 Bangkok, 365 Las Vegas, 388 Verneuil-sur-Seine, 390 Zoersel, 430 Homestead. 341 of 364 cases now hold a fetched article; 11, 66 and 399 have no public text source (podcast, police video, direct victim report). Trimming - auto_trim.py: case-anchored furniture cut for UNTRIMMED blocks. Finds the body run that mentions the case, merges across subheadings and short furniture gaps, drops teasers, share bars, date/URL/caption lines and subscription pitches; refuses pages with no record term or almost no body. 302 blocks trimmed; 16 left on auto-trim-review.md (7 OFF-CASE suspects). Every cut is labelled AUTO-TRIMMED, UNREVIEWED in the dossier; the full extract stays in staging/. Decisions with anchors in trim-decisions-auto.json. - build_cases.py / verify_all.py: banners for auto-trimmed and archived blocks, staged-file check extended to Wayback blocks, flag legend under the record. Detention rule - README "Definitions": the DB field `kidnappings` is the DETENTION violence type (victim, guard, staff or relative held to force submission or execute the theft), distinct from the Kidnapping scenario (taken away and held). - detention-flag-review.md / detention-flag-corrections.json: 40 records reviewed with evidence; 30 set-to-1 proposals accepted by the owner on 2026-09-06 (listed in corrections-approved.md), 10 still open. - apply_detention_wording.py: "Violence Used" in the 70 reviewed summaries now names detention explicitly (62 of 70 labelled), supported by the summary's own text; idempotent; supersedes the batch scripts' wording. Worklist and docs - sofia-worklist.md: 248 decisions, detention rule item replacing the old "no abduction" item, fresh-search section for the textless cases. - README-START-HERE.md: progress notes, run commands, next steps. - Bug fixed in passing: Wayback blocks stored in-memory text with carriage returns; now stored as read back from disk. verify_all.py PASSES (2321 checks).

Dutch Bitcoin ATM Owner Laughs at Thieves Who Took His Machine
|
||
Thieves stole a bitcoin ATM installed in Oudenbosch, Netherlands last Wednesday by lifting and carrying it away. With bitcoin’s high prices attracting newcomer crooks as well as investors, it’s unclear if the thieves really understood what they were stealing.
|
||
Bitcoin is a virtual currency, which thieves would not be able to access simply by stealing the machine, the owner said. The ATM had operated at the Tivoli Brasserie in Oudenbosch since 2014. Thieves stole only the bitcoin machine, and nothing else.
|
||
Herman Vissia, owner of the machine said: “Bitcoins are virtual coins, so I think it’s logical that they do not get out of the machine. They would have thought they hit a jackpot with a full-blown machine.”
|
||
Customers buy BTC by feeing paper cash in the machine, so it’s possible that’s what the thieves were really after. Still, bitcoin ATMs don’t process the kind of transaction volumes bank machines do — even in cash, the takings were probably not worth the physical effort.
|
||
“What an Idiot” Says ATM Owner
|
||
|
||
The ATM was run by Byecoin, a popular bitcoin ATM operator. The company has two available machines, one at Oudenbosch (which got stolen) and the other at Eindhoven. Vissia said “What an idiot”, referring to the actions of the thieves. He found the whole act foolish, and had a laugh over it, according to the local press.
|
||
Vissia believes it would take three people to lift the Lamassu machine — as it weighs around 265 lbs (120 kg). Hence, he is certain that three or more robbers carried out the theft.
|
||
Along with regular people, all types of criminals are gaining interest in cryptocurrencies. Physical theft is a new addition to the existing long list of hackers, phishing websites, investment scams, and dummy wallets that aim to steal bitcoin and other digital currencies.
|
||
Since bitcoins don’t exist in the physical world, they’re actually much harder to steal than cash, gold or diamonds. Muggings associated with local P2P trades are more likely to involve victims being relieved of hard cash, than BTC.
|
||
No Bitcoins in the Machine
|
||
In Vissia’s opinion, the thieves would have completely dismantled the bitcoin ATM. He said: “They will have broken it completely to get the contents out.” He added, “At the new vending machine they place a sign which will read — There are no bitcoins in here!”
|
||
Bitcoin ATMs are often connected online to a third-party exchange — the machine itself does not hold the private keys. Even if they did, cracking the machine open wouldn’t give you access to them.
|
||
A similar incident occurred in India just a couple of months before. The thieves, who possibly couldn’t read, actually stole a passbook printing machine instead of ATM.
|
||
Either the Dutch thieves were foolish too, or they were after the cash — which they could have probably stolen much easier elsewhere. These capers are reminiscent of the notorious scene in Breaking Bad, where two drug addicts haul a bank ATM to their living room but are unable to open it. It ends gruesomely.
