El captor

The real Swedish robbers' list of items to be brought into the bank is a classic part of Swedish crime history. The list included: "Boxes of Prince cigarettes!", "WHISKEY!!" (almost etched into the paper & underlined twice), "calming pills.. for the ladies if they get nervous!", a T.V. with an oddly specific sized screen, and specific amounts of toilet paper and vegetables and so on.

The massive television set in the prime minister's office is American, as are the power outlets on the wall. European television sets don't have trims covering the edge of cathode tubes as American versions do. The type of rabbit ear antenna as seen in the prime ministers office has very rarely been used in Europe; rather TV sets were connected to big rooftop antennae. Also, the power outlets in Sweden are Type C European (CEE 7/16 Europlug) or Type F German (CEE 7/4 Schuko).
