Two teenagers stole a car and went joyriding around Buffalo Grove, Ill., while recording their excellent adventure on a video camera.
They ultimately abandoned the vehicle but forgot to take the camera with them. Police solved this one easily.
But a girl has to look her best
When the law is looking for you, it's best to maintain a low profile.
Police nabbed a woman for trying to put on her makeup as she was driving down I-94 in Fergus Falls, Minn.
A routine check revealed she was wanted in North Dakota because she skipped out on a subpoena to testify at her former boyfriend's murder trial.
It made the bride's day so special
Police showed up at a wedding in Cache County, Utah, and arrested the groom for having sex with two 14-year-old girls.
Hey, where'd he go!? VAROOOOM!
A burglary suspect being pursued by an Indiana policeman left his car and ran behind a nearby church.
The cop pulled over and ran after him. The suspect circled around the building, went back to the road and stole the police cruiser. He was arrested a few days later.
The thing is this: Nobody likes you
A 105-year-old woman who resides at the Grimtunet nursing home in Kristiansand, Norway, constantly complained about the food. Sometime she would begin even before she tasted it.
Officials said she was upsetting other residents and ruining their appetites. So they barred her from the dining room and ordered her to take all her meals in her room. They relented when the episode became public.
PUFF! Will this race never end!?
Two middle-aged men went on a 50-mile road race through the countryside in Nottinghamshire, England, but forgot their glasses. They fell far behind the other runners and then were unable to read their map or the route signposts to catch up.
They wound up going around in circles, and ran an extra 20 miles before getting to the finish line 18 hours after they started.
Now you've gone too far, missy!
A maid in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, had been stealing from her employer for years - cash and jewelry totaling tens of thousands of dollars.
The thefts went unnoticed until she took the expensive slippers belonging to her boss, who searched the maid's room and found the loot.
Airliner to tower, come in, please
Air traffic controllers at the airport in Milan, Italy, are accused of regularly leaving their posts to go outside and play soccer while they were supposed to be on duty.
The defense attorney for some of the 67 defendants said they were guilty only of ``bad habits.''
But Mummy, I'm in love with him
A 14-year-old British schoolgirl, vacationing with her family last spring in the Black Sea resort town of Marmaris, was smitten with a Turkish bartender 10 years older than she.
Despite the fact that she is too young, she returned earlier this month to marry him. The parents alerted Interpol, and the man was arrested.

Hey, I posted that one here:
Where you the first person to pick their nose too??
What is the BFD if someone finds and posts a story a week and a half after you??
Not everyone lives here, some people just stop by and browse, they need extra posts of interesting article's!!
he/she said "hey, I was first"
it was about propriety and I challenge that...
as I said, not everyone spends 20 hours a day here, some stop by and look for interesting articles...
in this particular case it was posted 9 days after the original, and hardly impacts on his/her internet skills!!
Don't be so series.
read #5!!
I just responded to a challenge, as any good Navy man would!!
I'm generally a very positive, very good natured person. I hate the thread police. I thought this was a nice post (this thread- not mine), it was very amusing and I try to leave a comment that might help other people find out more and what do I get for my trouble...
But cheers at any rate, thanks for your comments and have a nice day! (seriously) ;-)
I LOVE Indiana..
ROFL!!
It's like living in the wild west..
I don't think that was the presentation...
he/she said "hey, I was first"
You are wrong. First about the presentation and second about what Prodigal Son posted.
The correct quote was: "Hey, I posted that one here:"
Not "hey, I was first".
Get your facts straight or admit that you were wrong and replied before considering every angle.
