Sweden: These folks certainly were not trying to keep their romance secret. A Swedish couple made so much noise in bed that their landlord tried to evict them. “Their screams of passion were so loud, I could hear them three floors away,” said one building resident. “I don’t think they were playing cards.”

Betcha they were faking it…

Indiana: If he had just brought the kid inside, he might have been the father of the year. Instead, an Indiana trucker was arrested when he left his 5-year old son in the cab of his tractor-trailer while he went inside a strip club to drink. Police caught on to his poor parenting when he called to say his truck had been stolen only to find he was too drunk to remember where he parked it.

Idiot!

Commerce, GA: “You kids wait in the shopping cart. We’ll be right back.”  A couple in Commerce, ditched their two kids

New Jersey: It is said he was the most stylish bank robber wannabe in New Jersey. A 25-year old man dressed up in his mother’s pink blouse, black coat and scarf, drove to her bank, and tried to convince the teller that he was his mom. After he presented a forged withdrawal slip, the teller called cops, who arrested him.

Cross dressing and bank robbery seldom lead to anything good.

Germany: A German crook decided to quit while he was still behind. The 24-year old tried to rob two hotels — and in each case fled empty handed with security guards chasing him. Then he tried but failed to break into the local tax office in Muelheim an der Ruhr. Finally, the bandit wannabe gave up without a fuss after being trapped in a getaway van he used to ram an armored car. “He needs a change of job,” said one police officer.

Sounds like he will get a new one in jail!

Mexican “players” be careful — you have been warned…

L.A. Airport, CA: Here’s some cold-blooded smuggling. A 40-year old man arriving in the U.S. from Australia was arrested at LAX after he was found with 15 live lizards strapped to his chest. The menagerie, which the man allegedly hoped to sell, included geckos and monitor lizard. They are worth about $8,500 — but the accused smuggler now faces up to $250,000 in fines.

Las Vegas, NV: Live strippers on the back of a truck is too much — even in Sin City. A Las Vegas strip club agreed to stop an ad promotion that involved hauling bikini-clad dancers around in a truck with clear plastic sides. “We’re going to respect the opinion of the folks that are against it,” said Larry Beard, marketing director of Deja Vu Showgirls. “We’re going to be good citizens and take it off the street.”

So much for our latter day Sodom and Gomorrah…

Bellingham, WA: A Washington man stole a pencil — and may land in the “pen.” The thief who had $600 in his wallet, walked into a Bellingham store and pocketed a mechanical pencil on sale for $5.95. When he was arrested police found that he had an outstanding warrant. Asked why he did it, he told officers, “I don’t know. Being stupid, I guess.”

Stupid, indeed!
