Local Store Accidentally Discovers Fireproof Money
Following a break-in at the Co-op food store in Great North Road, during which intruders attempted to gain access to the contents of the cash machine using a blow-torch, the manager has claimed to have discovered “Fireproof Money”.
“Yep,” said Dave Bedejaz, 42. “They scorched the cash machine and the ceiling and all sorts, but all the money was safely intact.”
Bedejaz has since filed a patent for Fireproof Money, although he finds it difficult to explain why exactly the money itself cannot be set alight. “It’s nothing to do with the fact it’s in a very secure cash machine,” said Mr Bedejaz. “It must be the money itself.”
Bedejaz, recently divorced, plans to leave his lucrative retail management career to make a fortune fireproofing other people’s money. Town Council enterprise spokesman Warren Tutha Gee said, “It’s great to see the spirit of entrepreneurialism alive and well in St Neots. We’ll definitely submit Mr Bedejaz for a Huntingdonshire Chamber of Commerce award of some description.”
