Along with being an evil terrorist the likes of which this world has seldom, if ever, seen, CNN's international correspondent Nic Robertson reports via Twitter that Osama Bin Laden was also that scary neighbor whose yard was a black hole for kids' balls. The compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan where Bin Laden lived and ultimately died has 12-foot-high fences complete with barbed wire on top and according to neighbors, if a ball made its way over, it was gone for good, like The Sandlot, but with way more death and danger. "Someone gave them money instead," Robertson reports.
