OK, I've got one I know you'll all enjoy: A couple of weeks ago in our sleepy town, a young man, recent high school graduate & football player, took his friends up on a dare, and for $20, went streaking through a Little League game one evening. An eye-opening sight for the 9 year olds & their parents, surely. Dashing from one side of the field to the other, he jumped the fence & got into his friend's red pick-up truck & they drove off.
His one mistake was dropping his cell phone as he jumped the fence . (No, I don't know where he was carrying it...) Police were called, they found the phone, opened it up, and there was a photo of the Streaker, wearing his football jersey. He was number 54. Didn't take long before the cops found the truck, and several teens hanging out at a nearby beach. Playing it cool, the officer asks if any of them play football...? Yes? What's your number...? Case closed. The ultimate stoopidity in this case comes with the Streaker facing felony charges of something or other... Being Naked While Running...? In addition, if convicted, the Streaker would have to register as a sex offender in the state of Massachusetts. Most likely, the case will be continued without a finding, but still... a sober reminder of what can happen when both teenagers & cops are bored. :) -c On Fri, Aug 19, 2011 at 10:46 AM, Walt Gilbert <[email protected]> wrote: > On 8/18/2011 1:48 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: >> >> On Thu, Aug 18, 2011 at 5:55 AM, Ann Sanfedele<[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> >>> http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Thief-Jacks-Car-With-Kids-Poodle-Drops-Them-All-Off-at-Home-127999188.html >> >> There seems to be a rash of totally inept criminals lately.
