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).

Mickleham news: Shopping centre CCTV captures thieves in Bitcoin ATM ram raid | Nine.com.au
|
||
|
||
Police are on the hunt for a pair of thieves who escaped with a cryptocurrency ATM after a ram raid at a shopping centre in Melbourne's northern suburbs this morning.
|
||
|
||
Police allege a stolen Toyota Ute rammed the front doors of Merrifield City shopping centre in Mickleham just after 4am, before reversing into two ATM machines inside.
|
||
|
||
CCTV vision exclusively obtained by 9News shows one of the men, dressed in bright orange, using a sledge hammer to knock a Coinflip Bitcoin ATM to the ground.
|
||
|
||
The pair then ditched the Toyota when the machine proved too heavy to lift onto the back tray and instead dragged it out by hand, fleeing the scene in a dark-coloured sedan with the Coinflip ATM.
|
||
|
||
Police will allege the thieves then dumped the ATM in a Coolaroo car park, before setting it alight.
|
||
|
||
The Coinflip ATM, which allow users to buy and sell crypto using cash, had been pried open.
|
||
|
||
Crypto expert Steve Sammartino said crypto machines do not have the same security measures as conventional ATMS, which could have aided the thieves.
|
||
|
||
"The crypto machines aren't as robust as typical ATMs which are issued via banks," Sammartino said.
|
||
|
||
"Not all of them have dye bombs so that the money is unusable after they're broken into."
|
||
|
||
The offenders remain on the run and the sedan has not been located at this stage.
|
||
|
||
Anyone who witnessed the ram-raid or the fire, has dashcam/CCTV footage or information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
