Ever hear the saying; "if it sounds dumb, but it works, it ain't dumb"?
"On the morning of December 10, 1968, four Kokubunji branch employees of the Nihon Shintaku Ginko (Nippon Trust Bank) were transporting 294,307,500 yen (about US$817,520 at 1968 exchange rates) in the trunk of a Nissan Cedric company car. The metal boxes contained bonuses for the employees of Toshiba's Fuchu factory.
A young man in the uniform of a motorcycle police officer blocked the path of the car, a mere 200 meters from its destination, in a street next to Tokyo Fuchū Prison. The bogus police officer informed the bank employees that their bank branch manager's house had been destroyed by an explosion, and a warning had been received that an explosive device had been planted in the car. After the four employees exited the vehicle, the police officer crawled under the car. Moments later, he rolled out, shouting that the car was about to explode, and smoke and flames appeared underneath it. As the employees retreated from the vehicle, the police officer got into it and drove away."
