    Couple sue after Mega Death sauce hospitalizes son (October 25th, 2010 @ 6:25pm)

    CLEVELAND, Tenn. (AP) - Some don't like it hot. A Steak 'n Shake restaurant in Cleveland, Tenn., was sued by a couple who claimed it served a hot sauce that sent their son to the hospital.

    Tim and Mary Katherine Gann said a restaurant server gave their minor child a bottle of Blair's Mega Death Sauce for his chili and encouraged him to eat some. When he did, he broke out in hives, had trouble breathing and suffered severe pain.

    The brand isn't customarily served by the chain, according to the Cleveland Daily Banner. Mega Death's maker warns that it's "500 times hotter than a jalapeno."

    A spokeswoman for franchise owner Debbie Richmond said Thursday the company wasn't commenting.

    The lawsuit seeks $10,000 in compensation and $50,000 punitive damages.

    Oops!! And, to add injury to insult, the guy's own mom makes him fess up.

    Robber takes off mask a bit too early
    Mom sees his face published in U.K. media, makes him turn himself in


    MANCHESTER, England — A masked man who robbed a U.K. bookmaker is in jail now because he took off his disguise an instant too early.

    After waving a handgun, demanding and receiving a bag of money from a frightened clerk, the man paused as he walked out the door. He then removed his scarf. Security cameras were able to capture a clear picture of his face.

    His photograph was published in local media and the Manchester Police published the video on YouTube. His mother recognized him and made him turn himself into police.

    Lorenzo Mason, 21, will serve five years in jail for the crime, Sky News reported.

    Everyone who thinks gun control eliminates crimes committed with guns, forgets one little tidbit of info... criminals do NOT care about the law, hence they will be the only ones packing the pieces. How many car jackings have we read about in Houston TX? I can't remember any... probably because any would-be car jacker would be shot by everyone in the car.

    This next one cracks me up. Someone needs to get a REAL life.

    Thief takes everything but the cat in Facebook home burglary

    By Winda Benedetti

    Popular Facebook game "Pet Society" lets players decorate a virtual apartment and clothe a virtual pet. Now, if only it came with a virtual home alarm system.

    Here's a lesson that all of you Facebook game players should heed: If you're going to have a fancy virtual house, you'd better install a fancy virtual home alarm system.

    Authorities in Italy are investigating a home burglary that took place within the popular Facebook game "Pet Society."

    "Pet Society" – a social pet simulation game from Playfish – lets players decorate virtual houses and shop for stylish virtual clothes for their virtual pets.

    But Paola Letizia of Palermo, Italy, told police that a hacker stripped her home within the game taking everything but the blue-colored cat that lived there.

    According to British news site Metro, the not-a-cat-burglar swiped the virtual furniture, virtual clothes and virtual paintings that 44-year-old Letizia had spiffed up her seven-room home with. And those virtual items cost her real money – somewhere around $140. (Proof that game micropayments really do add up.)

    "I don’t think it matters that the flat only exists in Facebook," Letizia told the Italian media. "It is real to me and I have suffered a real loss."

    Playfish does not appear to offer home alarm systems for their "Pet Society" homes. In their place, we'd like to recommend that social network game players try installing a little thing called a strong password. Apparently the hacker was able to access Letizia's Facebook account by cracking her password.

    Italy's "postal police" are investigating the crime as an 'aggravated entry' into Letizia's e-mail and Facebook account. The offence carries a penalty of up to five years in a real prison.

    Accused bank robber dropped wallet
    Oct. 30, 2010 10:19 AM
    Associated Press


    DESTIN, Fla. - Investigators knew a man accused of stealing $6,000 from a Florida Panhandle bank didn't stuff the cash in his wallet. That's because he somehow left it there, making it easy for authorities to find him.

    The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office says the 26-year-old robber brandished a handgun at Destin's Union State Bank on Thursday, ordering the employees to the floor. Deputies say he fled with $6,000.

    While investigators searched the bank, a witness found a wallet nearby. Investigators showed the ID photo to bank employees, who thought it might be the robber.

    Deputies searched the man's house and say they found cash and a gun that appeared to be the one used by the robber.

    Judge: 4-year-old can be sued in bike crash
    Oct. 29, 2010 05:30 PM
    Associated Press


    NEW YORK - She might have been too young for grade school, but a judge says a New York City girl was old enough to be sued over a bicycle accident that happened when she was 4.

    A Manhattan judge refused earlier this month to toss out negligence claims against Juliet Breitman. She, her mother and others are being sued by the estate of a woman who said she was severely hurt when hit by bicycles that Juliet and a boy were racing down a sidewalk in April 2009.

    The woman, Claire Menagh, died later that year.

    Juliet was three months shy of 5. The judge says there's no evidence a child of that age couldn't appreciate "the danger of riding a bicycle into an elderly woman."

    Lawyers for those involved didn't immediately return calls Friday night.

    Burglars leave thank-you note for homeowners
    Oct. 29, 2010 12:29 PM
    Associated Press


    FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - Two suspects face multiple charges after North Carolina police said they left a note thanking the homeowners for the $5,000 worth of electronics gear and food they stole.


    Fayetteville police spokesman Dan Grubb said Friday the pair left one note on a white paper napkin saying simply, "Thanks." Grubb said a second message etched into a wall Wednesday morning said the same thing, and added: "We love the stuff we got."


    Police charged Dajuan Marquis Avant and Darrell Sturdivant Jr. with breaking and entering, larceny, and other charges.


    Both 19-year-olds are from Fayetteville. It was not known if either had an attorney.


    The homeowners told The Fayetteville Observer the stolen loot included a box of corn dogs, frozen chicken and beer.

    Now, this is irony...

    By CORY MATTESON / Lincoln Journal Star JournalStar.com | Posted: Tuesday, November 2, 2010 6:00 pm

    The Halloween crime of the year torch appears to have been passed to Lincoln in 2010.

    Early Monday, a police officer pulled over a pickup being driven erratically by a man dressed as a Breathalyzer.

    Matthew Nieveen, 19, was cited for second-offense driving under the influence and being a minor in possession of alcohol.

    According to a police report, he was driving a 1992 Ford F-150 northbound on 33rd Street between Holdrege and Huntington when an officer saw the truck rapidly accelerate and cross the center line several times. The officer stopped the truck at 37th and Huntington, the report states.

    The officer said Nieveen had watery eyes and slurred speech and smelled like alcohol. Police found a bottle of vodka, a half-full bottle of Mountain Dew and vodka and several cans and bottles of beer in the truck.

    "He was dressed as a PBT (preliminary breath testing) alcohol sensor and had been attending a Halloween party prior to the stop," the report says.

    Police took Nieveen to Cornhusker Place, where, the report says, his blood alcohol measured more than twice the legal limit of .08 percent. The legal limit for minors is zero.

    Nieveen also was cited for an open container violation and negligent driving before being released to detox staff.

    Last Halloween, an 18-year-old in a similar outfit was arrested for driving drunk in Oxford, Ohio.

    In other costumed arrest news, Lincoln Police Officer Katie Flood said officers arrested a French maid early Saturday and what was described in reports as a "naughty border patrol agent" Sunday. Both women, both younger than 21, were arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and being minors in possession of alcohol.
