When he got back to where he took the car, Fidel Retana saw the angry parents, so immediately unhooked the vehicle and left, police said. He was later charged with child endangerment, but cops said the rap would likely be dropped.
A patient discharged from a Colorado hospital stole an ambulance and turned on the siren, leading cops on a 100-mph chase.
Mickey Stevenson Terry, 35, was stopped only when he wrecked the ambulance. He was taken back to the hospital - this time under armed guard.
A retiree in Wales lived in pain for 50 years following a motorcycle crash, only to discover his leg had been broken all along.
Roy Calloway, 70, thought the pain was a side effect of the accident, and used a walking stick to get around.
"The pain had been intolerable for so long it was part of my life," he said. "I've been living in agony for half a century."
World’s most expensive cup of coffee
Caffe Raro is said to be the world’s most expensive coffee. The coffee sells for about 50 pounds per cup (roughly $98). The coffee comes from the rare Kopi Luwak beans.
The Kopi Luwak beans are eaten and then expelled by the Asian palm civet. The Asian palm civet is said to be able to pick the best coffee beans, and their stomach breaks down the fruit leaving just the bean.
Workers collect the beans and wash off the excrement. The coffee beans are then roasted for around 12 minutes to maximize the potential of the coffee. I will stay with Folgers!!
Ketchup plus eggs equals antisocial youths
Norfolk officials have banned the sale of tomato ketchup and eggs to minors because it is believed to cause antisocial behavior. According to authorities, several complaints were coming in about youths squirting ketchup at passing vehicles, or at windows or doors.
As a result, local supermarkets were told to “challenge” youths who were trying to buy ketchup in squirting bottles or eggs. Local police even posted signs supporting this on the supermarket windows.
“I know it sounds a bit daft, but it has made a difference because we have had no more reported incidents since the supermarkets came on board with this,” said Sgt. Andy Brown.
A German man survived a 25-foot plunge down an elevator shaft only to land on top of a 57-year-old woman who had toppled down the shaft the day before.
Despite causing her further injury, he likely saved her life, police said.
"The woman had been lying unconscious in the shaft for some time already," said police spokesman Manfred Vonhausen.
It took 76 years on the road for Jack Higgs to finally crash his car but, boy, was it a doozy!
The 93-year-old took out not one, but two gleaming new Porsches with his Ford Fiesta, causing $120,000 worth of damage outside a showroom in Wales.
"I can't understand it. Nothing like this has happened to me before," Higgs said, estimating that he has driven half a million miles in his lifetime.
Apparently, this is one way of getting someone's attention.
Police in Billings, Mont., were called after a naked man brandishing a handgun ran through a hotel asking for help getting into his room.
First, the man knocked on several doors, then jumped over the check-in counter at the Comfort Inn.
Not surprisingly, police say, the man was intoxicated.
