Shoplifting suspects make it too easy for police to track them down



Two women in Port St. Lucie, Florida tried to shoplift about $200 worth from their local Wal-Mart. They were using the self-checkout line and only scanned about $70 worth. An employee noticed that their bags looked like it was much more than just $70. So, when the employee asked to see the receipt, the two women took off.

What helped police get them? One of the women left her recently developed photos in the cart. And guess what? It had her name and phone number on the envelope!

Thief robs X-rated store with syringe


A woman in Melbourne, Australia hit up an x-rated store for her second robbery of the night. You're probably thinking she used a toy gun, pointed her finger through her pocket to pretend it's a gun, a real gun, knife, or a baseball bat. You're wrong.

Guess what she used. Can't guess? Well, she used a syringe. Police don't know if it's a used syringe or if there's any possibility that her victim could contract anything because they can't find her.

She browsed around the x-rated store for about 30 minutes waiting for the rest of the customer to leave. Then, she went up to the employee demanding the money. A struggle broke out and the employee ended up being pricked with the syringe. She's had blood tests, but it'll take three months before results come back.

Man crashes through airport gate


A man in drove his pickup truck and crashed it through a fence gate at the Fort Smith airport in Arkansas. He wanted to get to a parked airplane airplane. However, the plane was missing something kind of important--the propellers.

Witnesses told police that the man said he needed to "get to Israel" and that he had "all the answers." Does he have all the answers to LOST, how to fix the economy, or how to end the wars? If he does, I'd like to know.
