Burglar Leaves His Facebook Account Logged In : Caught

You can't imagine how helpful Facebook, the popular social network, can be! It can even assist in nabbing the culprit. But for this to happen, the miscreant should have to be too stupid, like this Jonathan Parker.

It was easy for the cops to nail Jonathan G. Parker, 19, of Fort Loudoun, Pa., of day time burglary in a House at Martinsburg. Reason? He left his Facebook account open on the victim's computer after committing the burglary, but before leaving the place.

A woman reported police that someone had broken into her home through a bedroom window and stole two diamond rings worth a total of $3,500. The victim later noticed that she was missing the rings from her dresser in the same room as her computer and the computer was found open with an unfamiliar Facebook account logged in.

It is reported that during the investigation, it was found that the victim and the suspect had a mutual friend, who admitted that Parker asked him to help him commit the crime.

Parker was arrested and is at the Eastern Regional Jail on $10,000 bail. If convicted, he may face upto 10 years prison term.

Now, the lessons you learnt : if you break-in, remember to log-out! Don't trust Parker to be in your Mafia Wars list. I don't know what his Facebook account is and I don't think you care to be in his friend's list!

What A Fantastic Job!! : Man Earns $400 A Day Begging!

Why do you burn the midnight oil doing such hard work? If you can make money easily without doing much in a day? Make 'Begging' as your 'profession'!

A homeless man in Sydney, Australia, earns up to $50,000 a year by begging on a street corner, reports Daily Telegraph.

Ken Johnson,a 52 year old beggar, does not have to go to any office and work hard for his earnings just as you all do. He just sits at George and Market St, outside the Myer store in Sydney's CBD for the whole day and makes his living.

Johnson makes about $400 on his good days when you all are so generous. And he has been in this 'profession' since the late 90's. He says that when on some days if he could make only $250 from morning to evening, he gets frustrated and feels thoroughly disappointed.

It is reported that Mr Johnson displays a sign that reads:

"Needing support for major family exp(enses) including just heaps for medicine. Paying up is a big grind. Please leave me alone, if you are the abusive nasty sort.''

He even says that on this Wednesday, he collected $30 in 20 minutes. How lucky, he! His annual savings are said to be about $50,000 a year! Now, isn't that a good reason for all of you to think of a change in your 'profession'?


But don't be so excited. This 'job' too requires a lot of effort:

• He works about 16 hours a day. Isn't it some long, long hours?
• He depends on luck and mood of the passers by. Isn't it so dependable?
• In his profession, there is no sick leave nor superannuation plan. Now, would you like to compromise?

Johnson has a bank account and deposits his collection over many times a week.

Now, if you think that he is wasting his money, I would like to add something about this good Samaritan:

• He does not smoke.
• He does not take drugs or drinks.
• He is raising money to help a friend who needs a liver transplant.

Now, let us not disturb him at this moment as he may be treating himself to a sumptuous breakfast from Hungry Jack's.

Yawning May Lead You To Jail

It is thought that yawning is an involuntary action and is natural. But beware; it is not always so. Yawning may lead you into prison ~ if it is inappropriate and is disturbing.

A man in a U.S Court gets a jail term for yawning in the court and disturbing its proceedings. He faces six months in jail for criminal contempt.

Clifton Williams, 33, was at the fourth-floor courtroom at the Will County Courthouse in Joliet when he yawned audibly while Circuit Judge Daniel Rozak was sentencing his cousin to 2 years' probation on felony drug charges. The judge had to stop proceedings for the loud sound to subside. But the judge was quick in delivering the maximum penalty for criminal contempt without a jury trial.

Williams's father said, "I was flabbergasted because I didn't realize a judge could do that. It seems to me like a yawn is an involuntary action."

But you are wrong, Senior Williams! Because the court thinks otherwise. "It wasn't a yawn. It was a loud, boisterous, deliberate noise and over-exaggerated stretch. It was a deliberate attempt to disrupt the court".

Now, if you think that yawning is associated with tiredness, stress, overwork, lack of stimulation, or even boredom, then think twice before acting!

The 'Dirty' British Men

Blame it on the people who survey such things and publish the results before the entire world to see. If the Brits don't like to take bath more than once a week, why should the survey publicize it? Is it necessary to label them as 'dirty' and embarrass them?

The survey was done on the shower frequency in 5 different countries. The results reveal that British men are falling behind Mexico, Australia, the US and France.

The Daily Express reports that more than one British man in ten shower or bath as infrequently as twice a week.

But don't worry - the Brits are not 'dirty' always. They take a shower at least:-

• before going on a date
• before going to a job interview
• after going to gym

But don't worry, men. The Brit women do not bother whether their men take a shower or not ~ at least one-third believe it doesn't make any difference.

Now, I believe YOU take a shower atleast more than once a week!

Pee in the Shower to Save the Atlantic Rainforest!

Pee in the shower! Save Environment! Save Water! Start this first step as an environmentalist! Now, would you be contributing to this noble cause?

Brazilians are urged to save water ~ by urinating in the shower. This is being advertised all over the country through various humorous TV ads.

The group behind this is Brazilian environmental group SOS Mata Atlantica. According to this group, if a household avoids one flush a day, it can save up to 4,380 liters (1,157 gallons) of water annually.

Though the issue of saving environment is a serious one, the group uses humor to persuade people to reduce flushes. Television ads show cartoons of dancers, sportsmen and even aliens relieving themselves while showering in order to avoid flushing.

Narrated by children's voices, the ad ends with: "Pee in the shower! Save the Atlantic rainforest!"

Now would you be contributing to this noble cause?

Cops Fail Chasing Car Driven by Seven Year Old Boy

Don't ever think that grown up police can easily chase the car driven by a ..... wait.... by a 7 year old boy!

The incident happened in Plain City, Utah. The Weber County Sheriff's Office received a call about a child driving recklessly. They assign two deputies to chase the car. They pursued the vehicle as it drove through parking lots and stop signs. But alas! They were unsuccessful in their duty.

Now about the driver behind the steering. A boy, just 7 years old, driving for the first time! The cops could not stop the car. Finally the boy stopped himself near his home and ran inside his house.

The reason for his sudden taking away his father's car is also interesting ~ He didn't want to go to the Church.

Weber County Sheriff's Capt. Klint Anderson reported that the the car reached 40 mph before the boy stopped in a driveway and ran inside his home. The deputies followed only to discover the boy's father had not realized the car was gone.

Father confronts his son, who admits his escapade. Luckily the boy or his father did not face any punishment; but the boy is confronted and gets a detailed angry lecture from his father.

Now, on the coming Sundays, keep your car keys hidden from your kids and even toddlers. Who knows what they are up to?

Thieves Steal Liquor, Gets Drunk, Sleeps Off and Caught

What happens when a burglar robs some liquor and celebrate the booty on the spot? He gets drunk and falls asleep. Easy for the cops, right?

This is what happened to Keith Cullen and Paul Wiggins at Swansea, Wales. Both these burglars steal liquor worth about $1,154 from a liquor store. They stacked up the stolen booze outside the store and then went in to have a drink. Naturally got heavy drunk on the free booze, they doze off. It was for the cops as they found them deep in sleep outside the store next morning.

The Sun newspaper reports that Cullen turned up for his hearing at Swansea magistrates' court so drunk he was prohibited from entering the building. Wiggins disappeared from the court.

Don't ask me whether there was any proof. The close circuit TV installed at the store recorded the entire proceedings of their burglary, boozing and sleeping act for all of us and the court to see!

Now, next time, we hope, when both these burglars decide to steal liquor, they would celebrate their booty at a different place and not the place of theft. What do you say?

Underwear Thief Caught With More Than 1000 Pairs

Is he insane? He has a fetish for underpants? Or does he steal them for fun? What do you call a man who steals underwears?

It was the 3 pairs he tried to steal that caught the eyes of cops. He was caught from a sports hall in the western town of Gelnhausen. The German man, 46, was caught red-handed (or was it pants-down) by the policemen.

Later, a thorough search on his flat by the cops revealed that he has an enormous collection. The German police uncovered over 1 000 pairs of underpants and more than 100 pairs of swimming trunks from his flat, the report says.

If you think that this collection would be dirty and unused, then you are wrong. All these underwears were neat and clean thoroughly washed and stacked perfectly. The police is wondering where from all his pricey catch came from.

Now, what do you think? What idea do you have to give as a clue to the cops?

Family Sues Harassing Genie

Do you think that 'genies' always grant your wish and follow your orders? Like the tale of 'Aladdin and the Magic Lamp'? Then beware! A family in Medina is dragging a genie to court on a case of harassment.

According to Wikipedia, In Islam and pre-Islamic Arabian folklore, a genie (also jinn, djinn, from Arabic جني jinnī) is a supernatural creature which possesses free will. Genies are mentioned in the Qur'an, wherein a whole Sura is named after them (Al-Jinn). They can be either good or evil. In some cases, evil genies are said to lead humans astray. In Islam, Satan, known in Arabic as Iblis, is the iconic genie that refused to bow down to Adam when ordered to by Allah.

This Saudi Arabian family, who come from Mahd Al Dahab, had to change their house where they had been staying for the past 15 years due to the evil spirit. They started hearing strange sounds and later heard voices of the genie saying them to vacate the house. The genie started throwing stones and children got scared.

Now, the family found no option, but to vacate the house as 'ordered' by genie. But they decided to fight the case. A local court is investigating the case.

Will they be able to drag the genie to the court and win their case? Time only will tell. Let us wait and watch.

Hide and Seek Is No Kids' Play

Hide and Seek is now banned in an American house. You wonder why, naturally. Because they can't afford to call firefighters and police all the time!

Natalie Jasmer, a cute, smart two year old girl lives in Pennsylvania and she loves to play hide & seek. Recently she was playing the game with her siblings. But even after the passage of hours, the kids could not find Natalie, who was hiding. Then it was the turn of elders to search thoroughly for her; but to their astonishment, they could not trace the little girl.

It was the turn of police and fire fighting personnel to frantically search for the girl, as informed by the family. But inspite of one hour thorough searching, they also could not locate the girl, the report says.

The credit finally goes to Copper, the family dog, who located the girl, who sniffed her out. The little girl had fallen asleep in a drawer underneath the family's washing machine!!

Bear Ransacks House-Gobbles Up Chocolates From Fridge

Did you know that bears have sweet tooth? This was proved recently in a Californian house. A bear gobbled up a box of chocolate from a couple's refrigerator.

When the couple returned to their San Bernardino County home, they found that a bear broke in to their house and was chowing down in their kitchen! Apparently it pushed aside vegetables in their fridge and went for the two pound box of chocolate.

The couple phoned police; but the bear fled before they arrived. The sad thing was that the bear tried to open a bottle of champagne, but became unsuccessful in its attempt.

Now, if you like to have a party full of fun, why don't you invite this bear and keep ready some sweets and one or two bottles of champagne?

Bear Knocks Down Man For Sandwich

'Gimme That Sandwich', shouts a hungry Jersey bear to a man on his own driveway. When he does not obey, bear had no option left, but to attack him and knock him down. Won't you think so?

Henry Rouwendal, at Vernon, New Jersey was loading his car in his driveway for a trip. Lurking somewhere in the dark was a black female bear that smelled the Italian hoagie Henry had in a bag outside the car. He was suddenly got hit from behind.

Henry was knocked to the ground face-first, according to the report. He rolled over to find the bear standing over him. It grabbed the sandwich. Henry went into fight rather than flight mode. He says he kicked the bear 3 times!

The bear ran off and Henry was left aching on the ground with a head injury, dislocated shoulder, large cut on his left temple and some deep body bruises. It took him an hour before he could get up and get back inside his home.

Now, what do you think? Should Henry have attacked the bear in return? I would have simply gave the sandwich to the bear. After all it was very hungry, you know. Moreover, kudos to whosoever made that sandwich. It should have a wonderful aroma and would be very tasty too!! Yummy! Italian hoagie, loaded with salami and other meats, lettuce, onions and tomatoes" was so tempting for even a bear.
