You just can’t make this stuff up!
On December 14, the Lewiston Tribune put a surveillance camera photo on their front page of a man in a black-and-blue checkered coat that had stolen the wallet of an unaware convenience-store customer.
Directly above that picture, the Lewiston Tribune put a photo of Michael Millhouse decorating a window with holiday spirit.
In a black-and-blue checkered coat!
Police quickly made the connection, and Michael was arrested on charges of theft.
Talk about good timing!

So you’ve probably read the story about the 17-year-old Dutch kid who was arrested for stealing virtual furniture valued at over $5,800 in the online world of Habbo Hotel, but my question is this (besides the question of why anyone would pay $5,800 for virtual furniture): If he just stole virtual furniture, shouldn’t he just get put into a virtual jail?

If you were born to ride, but bicycle theft is a problem in your area, then check out OnGuard’s Locking Skewers.
By replacing the quick release wheel and seat bolts with a bolt set that can only be opened with a one-of-a-kind key, you can simply lock your frame to a solid object and not worry about somebody making off with your bike’s pieces and parts in the middle of the night.
