peer agreement (net): +2lazo Explanation: The ST appears to have originated in Portugal: www.smartstain.pt/protection/why-use-staining-systems The Portuguese word for lasso (as used by cowboys to catch cattle) is “laço”. I deduce that “lace” is a mis-translation of “laço”, and that a fair Spanish translation would be “lazo”. One of the other common methods for robbing ATMs is the use of a “lasso” made of chain or steel cable and pulling the ATM away from its mountings with a vehicle. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2017-05-17 14:45:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A couple of examples: www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=125621359 www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Thieves-in-Stolen-Van-Lasso-A... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2017-05-17 16:37:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Example of "lazo" in Chile: http://www.cooperativa.cl/noticias/pais/policial/robo-de-caj...
