A man who police believe was trying to rob a condom vending machine was killed after he and two accomplices tried blowing up the machine, according to news reports.
The 29-year-old had rigged the contraception dispenser in the German town of Münster with a homemade bomb so he could blast it open and steal the change inside.
Despite sheltering in a get-away vehicle, he was hit on the head by a flying piece of metal.
The condom machine in Münster.
But he got in the getaway auto and failed to close the door so when it detonated a piece of shrapnel hit him on the head.
His two accomplices took the man to hospital but he died of his wounds shortly afterwards.

Police at the scene of the crime described the grass littered with condoms and money, none of which was taken by the robbers. The man had sustained serious head injuries, which one of his buddies evidently told a doctor was due to a fall down the stairs.
