Bungling thieves steal safe – but miss the loot

BUNGLING burglars stole a safe from a house belonging to a near neighbour of Lord of the Dance star Michael Flatley – but didn’t find the loot which was in front of their eyes.

They discarded the safe not realising a “substantial” amount of cash concealed in envelopes.

The owner was unaware his house had been ransacked until he woke on Tuesday morning.
