Berlin Hairdress Discovers Top-Secret Plans in Trash Bin

BERLIN (Reuters) - A Berlin hairdresser discovered top-secret plans for a safety vault at the Bundesbank’s Berlin branch in a bin, the German central bank said Thursday.

Only four weeks ago, the bank’s building in western Berlin was officially opened after renovation work which cost about 150 million euros ($221 million).

The hairdresser found detailed drawings of the safety arrangements at the bank, including the location of people detectors, stairwells, grilled gates and measurements with the depth of the vault’s floor, reported top-selling newspaper Bild. “I wanted to throw away my rubbish and I noticed the plastic bag with the building sketches,” Bild quoted the 26-year-old male hairdresser as saying. The bin was in a backyard in central Berlin.
