Garden invaders?

Betty Kratzke finally figured out what was disturbing the flowers near her driveway all summer. She discovered that 44 baby snapping turtles were crawling around her yard trampling her plants.

“The turtles are the cutest little thing,” said the Jamestown, N.D., resident. She also went on to state that she was relieved it wasn’t a muskrat or raccoon wrecking her flowers.

She scooped up the little snappers in a cardboard box and dropped them off at nearby James River.

Good thing she moved them. She wouldn’t think they were so cute as they got bigger!

Secret sauce in the box

A St. Louis, the Rittenbergs, got a surprise when they got home and open the box that was supposed to have contained a brand new Sony Camcorder that they had purchased at a Best Buy store for $1600. They opened the box and found a bottle of pasta sauce inside rather than the camcorder.

When the couple contacted the store regarding their find, store officials told them that the box was sealed so the switch couldn’t have happened in their store, and that it must have happened at the Sony warehouse. Best Buy officials haven’t made a decision yet on how to handle the dispute. The Rittenbergs say that they are not thieves and that they filed a police report upon making their saucy discovery.
