Must be a slow news day ....
Anyway, one of my favorites involved unknown perp who kept peeing in an elevator. Finally, someone put a hidden cam in the ceiling and nailed the perp: a sheriff's deputy! I saw this on some tv show not so long ago, don't recall the name.
Another one that really takes the cake involved glazed donuts. I think I saw this on tv while I was staying in Bloomington, IN a few years ago. Some customers were giving the counterboy some grief about the donuts' freshness. So, again via hidden camera installed by employer, we see him, in the back room, well, spreading his seed on some "glazed" donuts before handing them over to the customers!
And how 'bout this one:
Here is the infamous quote attributed to Jesse Jackson by John Pekkanen in Life mag 11/21/69 p.68: "Jackson talks about himself at these meetings. Once he told of his days as a waiter at the Jack Tar Hotel in his home town of Greenville, S.C. Just before leaving the kitchen he would spit into the food of white patrons he hated and then smilingly serve it to them. He did this, he said, 'because it gave me psychological gratification.' "

1. - "Rafael Diaz Jr. was driving his oil tanker through an Atlanta neighborhood this week when a bottle rocket flew into the cab and struck him in the face, sending the truck careening out of control. What happened next was even more disturbing: the same band of teenagers quickly swarmed the overturned rig, dragged out Mr. Diaz, stole his wallet and beat him, the police said."
"Mr. Diaz, 29, remained in critical condition on Thursday. His head remained swollen after seven hours of brain surgery. The police say Mr. Diaz was the victim of an offensive against Atlanta drivers, with about a dozen teenagers hurling explosives, rocks and chunks of concrete at vehicles on a busy highway."
Looks like a terrorist cell exists in Atlanta. It's an insurgency. Better raise the threat level to red down there.
2. - "A 40-year-old man died of head injuries and two women were injured Friday night when a fight broke out over a $5 parking fee at the [youth baseball] tournament. At another game in the tournament, an umpire broke his hand during a fight that started after he ejected a player for kicking and throwing his helmet in the dugout after he struck out."
We need a seven-day waiting period and background checks for people wanting to buy a baseball bat. We need better ballbat control laws.

"An Ohio man with the breasts of a woman has been charged with indecent exposure after he was spotted shirtless. "He's a guy. He's real tall, and he's got a full set of breasts," assistant Cincinnati solicitor Kevin Donovan told the Cincinnati Post."

From earlier this week in downtown Toledo:
"Note to would-be theives: If you're going to rob a coffee shop, pick one that is not in the same building as an FBI office. Police say 34-year-old Andrew Johnson went behind the counter [Monday] and grabbed $165 from the cash drawer at Beaner's Gourmet Coffee in downtown Toledo. The head of the FBI office that's in the building happened to be standing in line, along with several other agents who helped manager and two other people subdue Johnson."
