| For a minimum bid of $2.6 million, a remote 407-acre Wisconsin lodge where Al Capone stayed while on the lam can be yours, the Chicago Tribune reports. “Al Capone's hideout retreat,” proclaims an ad run in that paper by a small Wisconsin bank that had the luck to foreclose on the property. “I suppose we thought maybe somebody who still had the nostalgia of it would be interested,” says a bank exec. The sheriff's sale is Oct. 8; 37-acre lake and watchtower included.
