So I was curious what happened to this guy.  Plead guilty, life imprisonment.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Reading the summary of a fairly routine convenience store robbery:

QuoteI was informed that a male entered the store where he immediately went
behind the counter and placed the clerk, G, in a headlock holding a large kitchen
knife toward his neck. The male demanded G open the safe, to which he stated he was
unable to do so. At this time another male and female entered the store where they grabbed
cigarettes, lottery tickets, and food items while the first male continued to hold onto
G. G was then brought to the front of the store as the first male yelled at his
accomplices to hurry up. G was then released and all three fled out the door, one
returned briefly to steal a cardboard standup
from the movie Deadpool.

:rolleyes:

So this lady walks into a Walmart, takes a steam cleaner wirth $167 off the shelves, then walks over to customer service to "return" it, and is given a gift card with $167.  Walmart LPOs realize the fraud the next day, and in response cancel the gift card.

Lady comes in the following day to complain about the cancelled card, at which point she is arrested.

The perfect crime!

I think WalMart sounds a lot dumber than she does in this story...

Meh.  They make the calculated trade-off that they'll accept exchanges w/o a receipt, knowing it will encourage some level of fraud, in order to increase customer satisfaction of those who legitimately want to make an exchange but can't find their receipt.

The dumb part of course wasn't the fraud itself (which is a very common MO), but to return to the store once the card had been cancelled.

I know he killed a man in cold blood, and I don't wanting him walking the streets, but I feel bad for the guy.

Here is one really nice story :)

Wanted BC man arrested after revealing location

Quote
Jessie Dean Kowalchuk has been transported back to Kamloops from Edmonton  to face a judge for three charges of breach of probation stemming from three separate files in 2015.

Last December, Kowalchuk saw his photo being circulated by Kamloops media outlet CFJC Today as part of a weekly Most Wanted segment, said Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jodi Shelkie.

He then sent a direct message on Facebook to CFJC Today.

"News flash morons: I'm in Edmonton and not coming back," said Kowalchuk in part of his message, which was given to CBC by the RCMP.


"The tone of his message was very derogatory stating that the RCMP had missed the ball, because he'd been living in Edmonton for three years," said Shelkie.

Warrant extended

After the RCMP became aware of Kowalchuk's Facebook post, it requested the B.C. Prosecution Service extend his three outstanding warrants to Alberta.

On May 10, he was arrested by Edmonton police, remanded and then sent back to Kamloops, said Shelkie.

"We're just really pleased that he sent the message advising where he was living in Alberta and that we were able to extend the warrants to Alberta so that we could bring him back here to face charges," she said.


"You've  got to face up to your actions at some point and you know it doesn't matter where you go. Sooner or later the police are going to find you, and in this case, we did."


that one tops the list, I'm sure! :P

I really like the conclusion... The RCMP always get their man... yeah, with a little help ;)  :D

That's what a church gets for allowing the performance of such a sinful song?
