It's short - just post it.

Quote:

MARTINSBURG - The popular online social networking site Facebook helped lead to an alleged burglar's arrest after he stopped check his account on the victim's computer, but forgot to log out before leaving the home with two diamond rings.

Jonathan G. Parker, 19, of Fort Loudoun, Pa., was arraigned Tuesday one count of felony daytime burglary.

According to court records, Deputy P.D. Ware of the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department responded on Aug. 28 to the victim's home after she reported the burglary.

She told police that someone had broken into her home through a bedroom window.

There were open cabinets in her garage, and other signs of a burglar.

The victim later noticed that the intruder also used her computer to check his Facebook status, and his account was still open when she checked the computer.

The victim later noticed that she was missing two diamond rings from her dresser in the same room as her computer.

The two rings were worth more than $3,500, reports indicate.

During the investigation, a friend of the victim told her that he knew where Parker was staying, in the same area as the victim's house.

Police then went to the home and spoke with a friend of Parker's.

The man said Parker had stopped by his home occasionally, but he said the man didn't live there.

He also said that the night before the burglary, Parker asked him if he wanted to help break into the victim's home but he refused.

As of Tuesday evening, Parker remained in custody at the Eastern Regional Jail on $10,000 bail.

If convicted he faces one to 10 years in prison.

Here's a headline I just couldn't resist:

Quote:

Woman pulls gun on cop as chihuahua deal goes wrong

A Sydney woman has allegedly tried to steal a chihuahua at gunpoint from a police officer's home in the city's north-west.

Investigators say a 26-year-old woman had arranged to buy the puppy and went to a house at Kellyville to collect the animal yesterday.

Once inside the property, police allege the woman produced a gun and demanded the puppy be handed over.

The woman was restrained by the people who lived at the house, including an off-duty policeman.

Police say the gun was a replica pistol.

The woman has been charged over the attempted robbery and will face court next month.

Sequel to Reservoir Dogs, maybe?

Gym Weights Cut From Man's Genitals
Man Was Trying To Enhance Size Of Penis, Police Say

POSTED: Thursday, September 24, 2009
UPDATED: 10:14 am CDT September 24, 2009
Firefighters had to be called to an emergency room in Newport Beach to help save a man's penis when it got stuck in the hole of a steel dumbbell, Costa Mesa newspaper The Daily Pilot reported.

Costa Mesa police said the man was attempting to enlarge the size of his penis. Authorities said the man's organ had swollen to five times its normal size.

The man initially refused treatment but officials at the Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian explained to the man if he waited any longer to remove the fastener the flesh in his penis would die.

Firefighters used a saw to cut through the metal ring. Authorities said the whole procedure took about two hours.

Steve Carell's 8-year-old daughter is learning how to profit from her dad's celebrity status by selling lemonade to paparazzi lurking around their Los Angeles home.
The actor admits he had low expectations for little Annie's business venture, and he was shocked when his daughter came back with a pocket full of cash after helping paparazzi trailing neighborhood celebrities cool down with summer drinks.
He explains, "She went down to the corner. ... I figured she'd come back in half an hour or an hour with 75 cents. She came back with $36 in half an hour.
"Billy Ray Cyrus (came) by walking his dog and drops $20 on a cup of lemonade, so she keeps the $20. Then the paparazzi who had been following Billy Ray Cyrus, they all came and bought lemonade as well. And then the police who were called to chase the paparazzi circle back and bought lemonade. Now she thinks she can do that for a living

What kind of a negligent parent is he, letting an 8 year old girl go down to the corner without supervision for half an hour?!

Of course, I'm kidding. But there are a lot of people who would never dream of letting their kids do that. Steve is a good dad, teaching his daughter independence.
