More Things to Worry About on Wednesday
Latest negative-cash-flow robbery: A 31-yr-old man, desperate for a drink, told police that he needed a hammer to be able to break a window at a state-operated liquor store and grab a bottle of something, so he bought a hammer for $11, broke the window, and swiped a $9 bottle of wine. KHQ-TV (Spokane) via MSNBC
Law enforcement computers are notoriously not interconnected from state to state, including on arrest records for DUI, as illustrated by this Associated Press report with the lead example being Mr. Robert Hood, who as you can plainly see from his mugshot, needed absolutely no DUI-computer-flagging at all (with the base-level question being whether multiple DUI's isn't the least of his worries). Associated Press via Fox News
He didn't write a vulgarism at all, so perhaps the crime (misspelling a common dirty word in graffiti) is something like "attempted indecency." Northwest Florida Daily News
They must not be much into religion in the Russian village of Komarovo, where a 200-yr-old Orthodox church building was stolen, brick by brick, and its icons taken, and a visiting clergyman just recently noticed it. Reuters
Update: The late superrich Nina Wang died last yr and was reported then [NOTW Daily, 4-21-2007] to have willed her whole fortune to her feng shui advisor, but her relatives have an earlier will that looks more normal, and besides, they think the master wangled his way into the will by promising her eternal life, kinda defeating the purpose of a will (and everybody'll hash it out in court in the spring). Reuters
Readers' Choice: (1) You'd think Kelli Thompson, 24, could find one sober relative in her Contacts list to come drive her 1-yr-old home when a cop stopped her for DUI, but first the kid's dad came to the rescue drunk, and then two grandparents came by to pick up the kid, but they were drunk, too. (2) It was her time to go: A Brazilian woman was killed escorting her dead husband's body to the cemetery when a car hit the hearse, knocking the casket into the back of her head. The Times of Northwest Indiana (Munster) /// Associated Press via Yahoo

drunk family - That kid has a great future ahead.
stolen church - How does an entire church go missing? I know the church wasn't being used and was in an isolated area, but wouldn't somebody notice an increase in traffic headed that way?

negative-cash-flow robbery This reminds me of a drunk years ago at a Toddle House in the middle of the night who tried to trade me a brand new lighter (that was his selling pitch) for a cup of coffee. Dude, the cup of coffee is cheaper and Toddle House had free matches.
church building was stolen Caffeinated Katie, in New Orleans we have problems with thieves stealing concrete mausoleum adornments (angels, gargoyles, statues of people). You'd think they would be spotted carrying a statue that weighs a couple hundred pounds out of a cemetary but nobody ever sees it happening.
Kelli Thompson Why were the grandparents just escorted home and not charged with DUI? Did they walk to get the kid? Sounds like age discrimination to me.

I told her I'd kill her if it was the last thing I ever do.
