Trucker Charged in 'Dumb-Crook' Beer Heist

Fri Aug 27,10:09 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!


TORONTO (Reuters) - Somewhere in Canada there are thieves with nearly 50,000 cans of beer they will have a hard time selling, although police said on Thursday the truck driver who disappeared with the loot has been arrested.



The shipment of Moosehead beer, worth over C$75,000 ($57,000), was on its way to Mexico from an East Coast brewery when it went missing, along with the driver.

The transport truck was recovered last week -- still running -- in Grand Falls, New Brunswick, but with most of its cargo missing.

The 30-year-old driver was picked up in Lindsay, Ontario, about 1,000 miles from Grand Falls. He has been charged with theft but police reported he did not have any beer with him.

The shipment of Moosehead was labeled in English and Spanish for export to Mexico, so it could not be sold in Canada. Nor could it be shipped into or through the United States without proper documentation.

"Its one of these classic, dumb-crook stories," said Joel Levesque, a spokesman for Moosehead.

"They can't sell it anywhere in Canada without giving away the immediate fact that it's been stolen... So we have crooks stuck with 50,000 plus cans of beer that basically they can't fence."

Very little of the stolen beer has been found. Four cans, three of them empty, were found in various parts of the New Brunswick province, according to the police and media reports.

On Monday, police found another 5,000 to 8,000 cans after a half-ton truck with a homemade trailer went off the road in New Brunswick. The driver of that truck fled the scene.

Underwear in Public Not Indecent, Court Says

Fri Aug 27,10:14 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!


CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (Reuters) - Wearing underwear and nothing else in public does not constitute indecency, a Massachusetts court declared on Thursday as it tossed out charges against six animal rights protesters.



Members of the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals were arrested and charged with indecency and disturbing the peace after a chilly rally in March near Harvard University where they stripped to their skivvies and staged a nearly naked pillow fight to protest against fur.

Six months and three court dates later, a Cambridge, Massachusetts, judge threw out the indecency charges against all six PETA members.

All but one of the protesters -- PETA Vice President Dan Mathews -- were also cleared of disturbing the peace. Mathews was ordered to pay a $300 fine.

Mathews told Reuters he was relieved that the indecent exposure charges were dismissed, noting that a conviction on such a charge would have forced him and the other demonstrators to register as sex offenders in Massachusetts.

Scrap Metal Dealers Steal 150-Year-Old Iron Bridge

Fri Aug 27,10:06 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!


SARAJEVO (Reuters) - Six scrap metal dealers have been arrested for stealing an Austro-Hungarian-era 13-meter-long iron bridge, Bosnian police said Friday .



"The six dismantled the iron bridge built 150 years ago and sold its parts to a nearby junk yard last week for 280 Bosnian marka ($174)," a spokesman for the regional interior ministry Drazen Mustapic told Reuters by telephone.

He said the police were alerted by villagers near the southern town of Mostar who saw the gang loading the bridge parts into vans.

The six men, identified by the police as Roma, were arrested this week and are being held pending prosecution, Mustapic said.

Sexually Frustrated Chimp Takes Up Smoking

Mon Aug 30,10:02 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!


BEIJING (Reuters) - Sexual frustration has turned a Chinese chimpanzee from a mild-mannered simian into a problem primate who smokes cigarettes and spits at visitors, the Xinhua news agency says.



Feili, a female chimp in the city of Zhengzhou in the central province of Henan, picked up her nasty habits by imitating visitors who behaved "improperly" around her, Xinhua quoted zoo director Liu Bing as saying on Sunday.

But, Liu said, the root cause of Feili's transformation from a "gentle girl" into a "shrew" lay with the inability to find her a satisfactory mate.

A male chimpanzee at the zoo has failed to live up to Feili's sexual demands, and she has snubbed other potential suitors.

Zoo officials said Feili was not addicted to nicotine, but the chimp has also demonstrated clever -- if not desperate -- behavior to score a smoke.

"The chimp is spitting at tourists and smoking," Xinhua quoted a boy visiting the zoo. "Just now a tourist threw a cigarette butt to just outside the cage, she tried to get the butt with a stick."

Germans wake entire street with noisy sex session

Tue Aug 31, 5:31 AM ET

BERLIN (Reuters) - A pair of young lovers so annoyed their neighbours with a noisy sex session that police had to go and ask them to lower the volume.



Officers in the western city of Essen interrupted the couple shortly after midnight after neighbours, listening to the sounds through an open window, called to complain.

"Gradually more and more neighbours gathered in front of the house to investigate the noise," said a police spokesman on Tuesday.

The embarrassed couple were asked to close the window and continue at a lower volume, he said.

Police Catch 80 Revelers with Pants Down

56 minutes ago Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!


JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Around 80 men were caught with their pants down at a men-only nightclub when detectives burst in on a late-night drug raid.



Inspector Dennis Adriao told Reuters Monday four men at "The Factory" nightclub in New Doornfontein were arrested in the early hours of Sunday after drugs were discovered stashed in their socks and shoes, which most patrons were still wearing.

"Men had to pay at the entrance and leave their clothes at the door. Police were tipped off there would be drugs but they got a bit of a shock because they didn't know it was a nudist night," he said.

The owner of the nightclub was also arrested for serving alcohol without a license, and around $4,500 worth of liquor was seized, Adriao said. Drugs were also found dumped on the floor by people who managed to avoid arrest, he added.
