Polite crook
A man politely waited his turn in a queue at a busy central Sydney post office before jumping over the counter, grabbing money from two tills and running off, police said on Thursday.
Respecting the horse’s privacy
Out of their deep respect for privacy, Google has been blurring faces in some recent street level views of Manhattan … including the face of this horse. You can’t be too careful.
Woman sits 42 years in front of TV. Did I mention she was dead?
The mummified remains of a Croatian woman have been found sitting in her armchair at home in front of a black and white TV set 42 years after she was reported missing.
Croatian police say Hedviga Golik, who was born in 1924, had apparently made herself a cup of tea and sat down to watch the television which at the time was regarded as a luxury item.
They say that would have been in 1966 when she was last seen by neighbours. They said one day she seemed to have just disappeared and they thought she had moved out of her flat in the capital Zagreb.
Why did it take 42 years to check her apartment? Shrug.
