I was interested to read today that police in India are investigating a rather strange bank robbery.
According to several news sources, termites have apparently broken into a bank’s strong room and eaten their way through an estimated 10 million rupees in bank notes. That’s over $200 000 in Australian dollars.
Staff at the State Bank of India in Arthur, near the northern India city of Luck, opened the steel vault to discover that termites had been lunching on a steady diet of Indian currency.
It seems that the building which houses the strong room was riddled with termites. Termites had previous damaged bank furniture and documents before turning their attention to the strong room, where cash was stored.
For such a small creature they seem to have incredibly expensive tastes.
Matthew 6:20-21 (New Living Translation)
20 Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. 21 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
Maybe we need to add termites to moths, rust and thieves.
