AUSTRALIA: Sea Flee?  A drug suspect’s getaway attempted was foiled when he tried to flee Australia for Papua New Guinea on a Sea-Doo water scooter. The 57-year-old British man fled from the northern tip of the state of Queensland carrying enough fuel to make the 86-mile trek across the Torres Strait. He was found and apprehended only a few miles from his destination.

GERMANY: The headline read, “Foiled again.” Authorities impounded a blinged-out Porsche covered in gold foil because, they say it was dangerously distracting to other drivers. The 31-year-old owner had previously been cited for driving the flashy sports car, so police took his keys on the second offense.

RUSSIA: “His excuse did not fly,” read the headline. A man tried to board a Moscow airplane stark naked – by claiming that clothing made him less aerodynamic. “He shouted that he was naked because clothing impairs the aerodynamics of the body. He flies with more agility when undressed,” a passenger said. We learn that the plane left without him.

SLOVENIA: No way to hand-dle it? A woman allegedly sawed off her own hand to collect insurance money – and now she has been “fingered” for a crime.

Surgeons reattached the hand, and the woman was charged with fraud.

SOUTH CAROLINA: Axe body spray ploy?

The 11th brewski was also sitting between the suspect’s legs when police stopped him.
