Way back when, doing an NDB approach at Kano at 0 dark 30 in a 747 with a full load of detainees - the ndb went off the air.
We diverted to to Algiers then back to the Bride of the Red Sea.
on the way ATC called and apologised - someone had stolen the fuel from both generators
On another trip, watched a colourful chap deplane and then reapppear outside the fence a bit later.
watched him walk to a car and chat then walk back to the terminal.
then watched him reboard with obviously new a ID!!
