uur, I considered that, but I couldn’t find an update to cite. I seem to remember that the guy was found, but denied having anything to do with the theft. However, I can’t find that article now so I don’t know for sure what happened, or how the case has progressed.

I don’t mean to be “that guy,” but spelling mistakes just pop out for me and I hate to see such a good site look bad.
Under Lottery Theif, you have written: “the funes had permeated the store.”
Keep up the good work on a great site!

I wish I could find a source. We had a local thief stealing copper wire (Langley, BC Canada)and in the process of cutting the wires, accidentally lopped off a couple of his own fingers with the wire cutters and then fled the scene. The police were able to print the severed fingers and the repeat criminal was identified.

Nate, David, and others: I know. There are several stories I thought of and couldn’t find the original source. A lot of news sites purge old stories to save bandwidth or memory or whatever. And some of the ones I recall may have happened in 2006 or earlier, but I couldn’t find a source to check. There are many many places that list such stories without sources or dates. So I limited this to those I could link to.

How about the guy who was breaking into cars at a casino near the Everglades. Security started chasing him so he ran into a near-by swamp only to meet the grumpy and large gator who lives there. His body was found the next day. Darwin award nominee for sure!

You’re doing great, Miss Cellania. Keep up the good work.
yunno, not only am i baffled that people commit these stupid crimes, but i’m more baffled at how easily some of them are carried out. ever since one guy gave a teller a note saying he was robbing the place, every other thief has been doing the exact same thing! if someone handed me a note like that, i would probably make a big fuss to scare him away. if he doesn’t have the guts to say something to me while carrying out his crime, i won’t give him the satisfaction of handing him any money. people are so f*ckin stupid.

Some people are REALLY stupid. I like this article, good work!
If that guy “denied any memory of the incident”, then it’s not surprising his face was covered in tape…

YES! My hometown made the top of the list! Not sure that’s something I should be proud of. I didn’t know that’s how the convenience store burned, but then again, I don’t watch the news. You’d be surprised at what comes out of a town of 100,000!

To Dr. Jones:
na na na na na, you cant spell either, na na na na na, keep your corrections to yourself, you look stupid too! -
Who cares!

Why is everyone making fun of Dr. Jones? Leave the guy alone haha. You’re making fun of him for spotting grammar errors and then at the same time.. finding HIS grammar errors. Which makes you just as guilty of being, “that guy,” as he is!

I’ve been reading this with my sons. I’ve been trying to convince them the importance of good spelling skills. Thanks for driving my point home.

No! Don’t teach your sons any more spelling skills than is absolutely necessary! A literate person on the internet has only two choices: correct other people’s mistakes and be branded a Grammar Nazi, thereby attracting more vitriolic responses than actual Nazis, or let it go and quietly wonder why you learned to spell in the first place. Ignorance is bliss.
By the way, when I type “theif”, a little red dotted line appears under it. Am I the only one who gets this?
