The art of the blag

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3016040.stm Has anyone ever pulled off a brilliant blag? I have managed to get on guestlists for clubs by pretending to be someone with more influence than I have. But never anything spectacular. It is just confidence. There is a story in Portadown about a man walking into Woolies on a Saturday afternoon in a white coat, walks up to the pay desk, tells the cashier the till isn't working and needs replaced, unplugs the till and walks out, never to be seen again.
