Tank shell no dummy
Print Edition
It’s not often that a swap site transaction results in the evacuation of an apartment house. But then again, how often is one of the objects being traded a live tank shell?
Austrian state broadcaster ORF said the shell was on offer as a dummy. It says police had to clear a Vienna apartment house and put up road blocks after establishing that it was in fact a fully functioning explosive.
Thursday’s report said police were called to examine the shell by its new owner shortly after she exchanged two bottles of wine and a picture frame for it on an online swap site. The shell’s previous owner used it as a door stopper. Both women face criminal charges.
