[Conrad Black: redfaced, redhanded]

"IN what might be the first recorded instance of his Lordship using the servants' entrance of any building, [Conrad] Black, a trusted aide and his chauffeur liberated the [12] boxes [of documents from the Toronto offices of Hollinger Inc.] at the beginning of the Victoria Day long weekend -- a smart move that delayed discovery of their activities until Tuesday.

Not so smart was that the mission was carried out just hours after the security system, in place for some time but never operational, was repaired.

As a result, Black's unauthorized removal activity -- specifically prohibited in the eviction order -- was captured on tape."
