Hypnotic criminal pursued by Italian police: Svengali returns

March 25, 2008

Italian police are tracking a hypnotic thief. Literally hypnotic: the till-robbing Svengali mesmerizes clerks into handing over the Euros.

the last thing staff reportedly remember is the thief leaning over and saying: "Look into my eyes", before finding the till empty.
