Concerned Burglar Returns to the Scene of the Crime

Did you hear about the kind New Zealand burglar?

He snuck into a home through a window and stole several items such as the property owners laptop, camera and wallet. Unfortunately the couple were unable to make insurance claims on these items for some reason.

A short while after the burglary the couple returned home to find their missing items along with gloves and a basketball that had been purchased using their credit card. The kind hearted burglar had left a note apologizing for robbing them and stated that he’d leave money in their mailbox to pay for the window that he’d broken.

I wish all burglars only borrowed things!

A shot in the dark

A Port St. Lucie Florida woman has been held on a gun charge after she claimed that she accidently shot her husband in the head after being startled by the burglar alarm.

April Moylan, 39 years of age, was charged on Wednesday with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and has been ordered held on a $75,000 bond.

Sheriff Ken mascara stated on Wednesday that the attorney’s office is going over the facts of the case and additional charges could be laid in the future.

Now here’s where the story takes a strange turn:

April’s husband, Michael Eugene Moylan, 45, awoke early Tuesday morning with a severe headache. The couple went to the hospital where the bullet was discovered in Moylan’s head.

It was first thought that Moylan might have been the victim of a stray bullet but it was later discovered that the couples stories didn’t match up.

The couple finally fessed up and told authorities that April sleeps with a loaded .32 caliber gun under her pillow. When the burglar alarm sounded at 4 a.m. Tuesday morning she grabbed the gun and it accidentally discharged a bullet into her husbands head just behind his ear.

The couple hadn’t wanted to tell the truth because they are both convicted felons and as a result are not allowed to own a gun so they came up with the headache story.

April was previously convicted for sale and delivery of cocaine in Palm Beach County. At this time her husband Michaels criminal record is not available.

Michael Moylan’s head wound was not considered life threatening. He’s recovering in the hospital.

It seems that Michael is a lucky man! I wonder what other charges the couple might face when the investigate concludes?

Dimwits mistakenly call police when trying to buy drugs

If you aren’t the brightest bulb on the planet …

If you’re in a hurry to get some dope calling 911 might not be your best move. Have you ever text messaged or paged someone and added 911 to your message so that the person would know it was urgent? Well, Pomona California Police say that two suspects trying to page a drug dealer from a payphone mistakenly called 911 as they were trying to make an urgent dope deal.

Michael Olivieri, a Police sergeant, says that dispatchers traced the call and sent officers to the location. When the police arrived they arrested Paul White and Ryan Ogie after searching a care with stolen plates and finding suspected burglary tools.

The men admitted to mistakenly calling 911. All that Sergeant Olivieri had to say to that was “No one said criminals are smart.”

That’s when the homeowner, unsure of the safety of his children and wife upstairs, grabbed the fire extinguisher and sprayed the would be robber with foam. He then hit him over the head with the fire extinguisher and held him down until the police arrived to arrest the burglar.

The intruder was taken to the hospital by the police and treated for minor wounds. He was scheduled to be arraigned in Yonkers City Court on a felony charge of second degree attempted burglary.
