In Germany a new patent of a special machine made sensation, it catches thieves in only five minutes. Installed in the USA, it allowed 1000 thieves to be caught in five minutes while in Japan 6000 thieves were nabbed in five minutes. Installed in Italy it was stolen in five minutes.

A well known statistic shows that being in the ten countries of the European Community, Italy, is eleventh to no one.
Italians: good for nothing, capable of everything
