Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.  (Check the picture on the link too) http://news.yahoo.com/stolen-train-crashes-building-sweden-110546205.htmlBy KARL RITTER | Associated Press – 4 hrs ago....
.....STOCKHOLM (AP) — A woman stole an empty commuter train from a depot Tuesday and drove it to a suburb of Stockholm where it derailed and slammed into an apartment building, officials said.
The woman was seriously injured in the early morning crash and was flown to a Stockholm hospital, police spokesman Lars Bystrom said. No one else was injured.
Bystrom said the woman was arrested on suspicion of endangering the public.
Tomas Hedenius, a spokesman for train operator Arriva, said the woman, born in 1990, stole the four-car train at a depot outside Stockholm.
She then drove it about a mile (1.6 kilometers) to the end station on the railway line, where it jumped off the tracks, careered for about 30 yards (25 meters) and crashed into a three-story building.
Photographs from the scene showed the crumpled front car of the train buried deep into the structure.
"There were three families inside the apartment building, but no one was injured. At least not physically," Hedenius said.
The motives of the woman, who worked for a company contracted to carry out cleaning for the train operator, were not immediately clear.
"We have only heard good things about her. We're investigating how this could happen, and why she did what she did," Hedenius said.
He said it's unclear how she got the keys to the train, but added that driving it is not that complicated.
"Generally speaking that's possible even if you're not a train driver," he said. "You can read about it on the Internet, or observe how others do it."
Stole a train?? This woman is loco.

I have a few questions/comments: Quote:

Suspicion? I mean, do they really need to collect a lot of evidence here.
Prosecuting attorney: I present Exhibit A, A FREAKING TRAIN IN A HOUSE. I rest my case.

Well, she was born in 1990. That explains everything! 23 year olds are notorious train bandits.

Seriously, they couldn't work in a "loco-motive" zinger here?

You start a train with keys?

Hmmm, wonder how big those keys are?!? And, do they have a keyless entry fob attached??

They had to go through a pre-trail to show that there was enough evidence against the whacko who killed all of those people in that theater in Denver.

Yeah, but this is Sweden we're talking about. They gave the world ABBA and Roxette. So, obviously, they're on the ball.

We don't have to agree with each other, to respect each others opinion.

No, not smart, but you have to admit it is sort of cool.
I have always had a train thing. It would be pretty cool to push that lever forward and get that sucker moving.

I agree with you but if you are going to do it, do it big.. don't steal a light rail commuter train.. go get a big boy and plow across the country side.
