Paris - Police have recovered part of the 11.6 million euros (17.2 million dollars) stolen last week in the French city of Lyon by the driver of an armoured van transporting the money, the online edition of the daily Le Progres reported Monday. According to the report, several sacs of the stolen money were found in a car near Lyon. However, no details were provided about how much money was recovered and under what circumstances. Police believe that 39-year-old Tony Musulin, a driver for the Loomis security company, on Thursday simply drove off with the van and 38 sacs of bills belonging to the Bank of France when the van's two guards left him alone to collect more money from a bank. Since his seemingly perfect crime, Musulin has become a hero on the internet, with a Facebook page that now counts more than 1,000 friends. 'Really classy,' wrote one admirer. 'Enjoy your millions.' 'Without weapons or violence,' wrote another. 'Respect.' In addition, a website - www.abrutishirt.com - is selling a line of t-shirts bearing Musulin's photograph and various comments, such as 'The World is Yours' and 'Tony - Best Driver 2009.'
