Thieves Steal Medical Equipment Loaded With Flesh-Eating Bacteria


Some criminal masterminds in Florida thought that stealing equipment from the Florida Hospital Center for Diagnostic Pathology was a brilliant idea. Now they have $US500,000 in medical machines — loaded with flesh-eating bacteria everywhere.

The thieves loaded the biohazardous machines in a trailer pulled by a pickup track, according to police spokesman Sgt. Vince Ogburn. Some of the stolen goods were a a slide stainer and specimen analyzer full of vials. Way to go, idiots! I hope you enjoy the process of seeing your arms eaten alive by an invisible zombie.
