They walk among us.

Chamblee, Ga. (AP)
    Trevor Gladson Jr. tried to rob a bank. The bank robbery failed when the clerk jumped behind a bullet proof glass and hit the robbery button.  Mr. Gladson escaped.  Later, Mr. Gladson returned to the same bank to withdraw money to pay cab fare for his getaway. Just didn't work out well for old Trevor.

Wonder why they thought they wouldn't get caught?

Deer Park, Texas (AP)
   Officers at the Deer Park police station were wondering why their lunches kept disappearing out of the break room fridge. After the food thefts had reached an intolerable level, the police chief set up a sting to find out who the culprit was. Yup, police officer Kevin Yang was caught taking the food.
   Yang explained that he just routinely "cleaned out" the fridge.  Apparently, Yang forgot his victims were cops!!!!

Wait, I thought you had it!!!!

Madrid, Spain (AP)
   "They walk among us" even in Spain. Four thieves hit a vault at a courier service and make off with many bags of valuables. In the thieves' haste, the getaway car was crashed leading to a flat. The four theives successfully hijacked and second car and made their escape.  However, the four fellows left the bags of loot in the first car.  Guess they forgot to assign someone to the task and no one did the job of grabbing the loot.  LMBO, dumb asses!!!

I'm thinking space aliens.

Hello loyal readers. I've been a bit under the weather so I've dropped the ball on updating my posts. But I'm better now and here we go.

Ann Arbor, Mich (AP)
   A hot tub mysteriously appeared on the roof of a University of Michigan building. Folks noticed people visiting the hot tub on Saturday. However, by the following Monday night, the hot tub disappeared. I'm thinking space aliens or the hot tub had slipped over from another dimension. Hope no one was in the tub went it slipped back.

One tough emu.

Looks like a place for a New York dog.

Frankfurt, Germany (Reuters)
   A truck carrying a load of sauerkraut was involved in a crash on the autobahn. Tons of sauerkraut was scattered across the road way in sub-zero temperatures. The delicacy quickly froze creating a massive road block. Four hours later workers had chipped the frozen pile away.....  I'm sorry, in my head I see a New York hot dog vendor setting up to feed the workers.

Now he knows.

Butte, Montana (AP)
   A fellow was wondering what it would be like to be chased by the police. So Mr. John Hughes followed a police car for a few blocks and then blew past the patrol car at 70mph on city streets and reaching speeds of 100mph. Mr. Hughes found out that a police chase costs $1000 and new set of tires (spike strips). Next time dude just ask somebody.
