This Week of Shockers

Its Thursday here in the states, I for one feel a little under the weather, but rumor has it laughter is the best medicine. So I hope this edition of Law and Disorder can help us both feel a little better about ourselves.

Case #1

Today we start off in Metairie, Louisiana, where deputies said they didn't have to look far to find the person who stole thousands of dollars worth of heating and air conditioning equipment. They say the thief was right behind the counter.

On Jan. 9, the manager filed a theft report indicating that 70 rolls of 50-foot copper sheets were missing from his inventory. The report said that further investigation by the company revealed that the manager had been entering the store after hours using his personal alarm code.

Turns out the 44-year-old manager, who manages the appliance part store, made off with about $203,000 worth of inventory.

Officials said the manager later confessed to selling the equipment and pocketing up to $50,000 in cash on the deals.

Law and Disorder Rule #6, when stealing after hours from the company you work for; do not use your employee ID number with the security system. It’s a dead giveaway on what you have been doing.

Case #2

For case number two, lets board a plane or jump the Rio Grande and flee to Monterrey, Mexico for our first ever International File. It is here in Mexico we find Ana Gomez. Gomez was a local in Monterrey and was best known for strolling around town in her wheel chair begging for spare change.

So imagine how surprised everyone was to hear that dear Ana and her husband had tried to rob the local furniture store, or how shocked they were to find out that after a security guard had confronted the couple, Ana jumped out of her wheelchair and ran away on foot.

Ana and her husband showed true Law and Disorder identity when they returned to the store to get her wheelchair, the couple was arrested.

Law and Disorder Rule #7, when tricking the whole town into believing that you are a quadriplegic from the waist down, first off congrats on that task by itself. But second off, when getting caught during a heist and you jump up and take off running, just praise God for a miracle with your new magic legs, and for god’s sake do not return to the scene of the crime.

Case #3

Let’s jump on the Gulf Stream and head over to Pensacola, Florida. A deputy responded to an alarm at a convenient store early Tuesday morning and reported seeing a 37-year-old man exiting through a smashed-out front door while carrying several packs of cigarettes.

Deputies said the man tried to flee, but the handfuls of cigarettes prevented him from holding up his pants, which fell down and tripped him before he could make it out of the parking lot.

The man was charged with criminal mischief, burglary, theft and possession of drug paraphernalia. He is being held on $12,000 bail.

Law and Disorder rule #8, its never fun getting caught with your pants down.

Just because it is too odd to pass up:

Reporters claim that China is taking credit for the first snowfall of the winter in Beijing. Officials claim they fired sticks of chemicals into the sky to seed clouds in a bid to end a persistent drought.

Zhang Qiang, deputy director of the Beijing Weather Modification Command Centre, was quoted as saying it had fired 426 cigarette-size sticks of silver iodide to seed the clouds from 28 "weather rocket launch bases" in the city.

Law and Disorder commends China for being a super power country in our world, after all to my knowledge they are the only country with superpowers.

Until next time take care and God Bless -BC
