Stolen Enigma Found

Ian Pointer writes "The BBC is reporting that the Enigma machine stolen from Bletchley Park has been delivered to Jeremy Paxman (a BBC journalist), and is now safe. Just thought you'd all feel better knowing." You can read the original article in which we talked about it being stolen.

Look on eBay!

The stolen Enigma is a rare four-rotor version, one of only three still known to be in existence.

Of course, they could have just bought this one off of eBay. [ebay.com]

Isn't it odd...

First we get a story Coincidence? I think not...8*P [slashdot.org]

This is a joke. This is only a joke.

Knowing this thing will be back in the loving care of a museum which was lax enough to let it get swiped in the first place. I mean, cripes, the back door was unlocked and I went in with this huge trenchcoat and wasn't even scanned or nothing, you'd think someone would have uh.. ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H
