Man Uses Vacuum Cleaner to Steal Coins


Swedish Man Faces Charges for Using Vacuum Cleaner to Suck Coins Out of Parking Meters Police said Persson used a pilfered set of keys to open the fronts of two meters, which take 1-, 5- and 10-kronor coins. Then, because the area holding the coins couldn't be cleaned out by hand, he plugged his vacuum cleaner into electrical sockets that, conveniently enough, are provided on Sweden's electronic parking meters.
