Arkán’s Wacky Crime of the Day
First topic message reminder :
This is Arkán’s Wacky Crime of the Day, where I
shall try to post a strange but true crime daily. I am instigating this on The
Soda Shop, Campbell County, and The Town of Odyssey. Because there are some
people I know on all these things which are on only one, and I wouldn’t want to
deprive them. I have been planning on this for a while, so hopefully I won’t
run out of material.Unfortunately I may miss a day now and then and all, but
hopefully I will then post two the next day. I hope you CCer's enjoy these.
#I “I don’t.”
Mauro Pirelli of Vicenza, Italy, was a jittery bridegroom. Two hours before his
wedding he had his hair cut. While seated in the barber’s chair, he anxiously considered
his future as a husband. As his doubts worsened, inspiration struck. He
borrowed a car, speed to nearby Thiene, and climbed into a second-story window.
He clumped and clattered to make sure the homeowner heard him. Then he left a
trail even a blind detective couldn’t miss. The police arrived in the nick of
time — as Pirelli was going into the church to be married. “I attempted a
robbery just to get arrested and avoid the wedding,” Pirelli confessed at his
trial. A panel of judges found him guilty of attempted robbery but withheld a
prison sentence.

Arkán’s Wacky Crime of the Day #XXI
#XXI ‘Hose guilty?
Alfred Higgs of Portland, Oregon, said a nagging wife drove him to a life of crime.
After nine years of marriage, Higgs had had enough of her henpecking. He reached for a hose.
Oh, no, he didn’t beat his wife. He unscrewed the nozzle and held up three stores at nozzlepoint.
“It was a spur of the moment thing,” Higgs told the judge. “I had been nagged so much by my wife about getting money, so I tried it.”

Arkán’s Wacky Crime of the Day #XXII
#XXII Sleeper.
Two men with clubs forced their way into the apartment of Juan Sanchez.
Sanchez, who lived in a public housing project in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico, told the thieves he had nothing of any real value.
Unwilling to leave empty-handed, they took apart Sanchez’s bed, loaded it on top of their car, and drove away.

Arkán’s Wacky Crime of the Day #XXIII
#XXIII Can do.
Manfred Dreschler collected nickels, bottle by bottle and can by can.
He stole more than 60,000 empty, used bottles and cans from a warehouse in Geneva, New York. By turning them in at a redemption center, he collected the five-cent deposit on each and every one.
Investigators estimated that between 1980 and 1982 his piggy bank took in as much as $21,000. The sum represents about 400,000 bottles and cans.

Arkán’s Wacky Crime of the Day #XXIV
#XXIV Doze weren’t hepatitis shots. A man who claimed to be a public health official telephoned the post office in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. He said a doctor was coming to vaccinate the employees against type-B hepatitis, a disease sweeping the area.
The “doctor” arrived in a hospital uniform. He told the seven employees that the shots might cause a brief spell of sleepiness. Hadn’t they better close the post office for a few minutes?
The employees did as he advised and dozed off. When they woke up one and a half hours later, the “doctor” and all the
cash—$5,526—were gone.

Arkán’s Wacky Crime of the Day #XXV
#XXV Sympathetic response. An English hospital loaned teddy bears to small children during their stay. The stuffed animals made too big a hit. They were smuggled home at the rate of ten a month.
The nurses halted the practice by putting bandages on the bears. The children thought they were sick and needed to be kept in the hospital.

That's a pretty good solution to the problem.
Re: Arkán’s Wacky Crime of the Day
Haha! That's funny.

Arkán’s Wacky Crime of the Day #XXVI
#XXVI Prime time.
Japanese police arrested Saburo Yoshida for making 1,400 long-distance
telephone calls to Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone’s private office.
Yoshida called from a pay phone in Innoshima, 400 miles west
of Tokyo, up to 100 times a day over a period of four months.
The calls lasted about three seconds because Yoshida could afford
to deposit only one ten-yen (four cents) coin. He never spoke.
“My salary is low,” explained Yoshida, a high
school English teacher. “And I don’t have any friends. Anyway, I thought I’d
call the Prime Minister and annoy him.”

If your salary is low, why waste money at a payphone?
Re: Arkán’s Wacky Crime of the Day
An excellent question, Sko. I was wondering the same thing.

Arkán’s Wacky Crime of the Day #XXVII
#XXVII Skimming the cream. Thieves pried off the lid of the safe in the Tinee Giant Market in Portsmouth, Virginia. The opening, alas, was too small for them to reach in and grab the money.
Their solution to the problem was all wet.
They dumped ten gallons of milk into the safe. The paper money floated within easy reach.

Arkán’s Wacky Crime of the Day #XXVIII
#XXVIII You can’t see the doctor without an appointment. A burglar mistakenly sawed his way into Dr. Harley Kojak’s office in Durham, North Carolina, and apologized in a note left on the doctor’s desk.
“Sorry, wrong building, Doc.”
Nothing, not even an aspirin, was missing.

Arkán’s Wacky Crime of the Day #XXIX
#XXIX Stepping stones. Harlan Orlando stole 175 diamonds worth $550,000 from a Nashville jewelry store. He hid them in a pair of old shoes, which he left with his father while he went on a fishing trip.
In his absence, his father gave some old clothing, including the shoes, to a child care center. The children played with the jewels for a week without knowing they were real.
Then Orlando appeared at the center. He demanded the jewels back so furiously that a teacher became suspicious. She called the police.
Now, please, don’t sit there mumbling, “If the shoe fits, wear it.”

This topic is intended to be posted in daily, so it's okay. If nobody replies to a previous post, there's no way out of it.
(By the way, the previous page has around ten in a row, if I remember correctly)
Arkán’s Wacky Crime of the Day #XXX
#XXX He wasn’t trying to stiff them. Dr. Daniel Hunter was instructing a class of arthritis patients in Norfolk, Virginia.
One exercise called for the oldsters to raise their hands in the air.
“Stick ‘em up!” Hunter hollered.
At that moment a passerby chanced to look through the window. Horrified, he telephoned the cops.
Police cars, sirens wailing, closed in on the building.
Hunter explained that the “stickup” was for the victim’s health, not their money.

Arkán’s Wacky Crime of the Day #XXXI
#XXXI Purse snatching — take two. A pedestrian in Knoxville, Tennessee, saw a hoodlum snatch a woman’s purse. He gave chase, tackled the crook, and held him for the police — who arrived with surprising speed.
The problem was, the crook was a police officer. The purse snatching was being staged for a local television station.
The crimestopper left the scene before anyone learned his name.
“I think he went away mad,” said a police lieutenant. “I’d like to know who he is so we could write a letter praising him. He did exactly what I wish everyone would do.”

Arkán’s Wacky Crime of the Day #XXXII
#XXXII Hopping mad. Someone got off on the wrong foot by stealing 300 sneakers from a shoe salesman’s station wagon in Columbia, South Carolina.
There wasn’t a matching pair of sneakers in the lot.
Shoe salesmen usually have signs on their cars stating:
The robbed station wagon was signless.
