Earlier this month a Toronto man went to check on his property in the central Ontario community of Dundalk only to find that his 10 year old double wide manufactured home was missing. Just think about that for a moment. It would be bad enough to find your place robbed, but completely gone? Yeah, that’s one for the books!
All that was left on the property was the foundation that the 45 foot double wide home had stood on. His home was too large to easily move so he was quite puzzled as to how someone could have stolen his home.
He went to the closest provincial police department in Southgate Township to make a complaint about the theft of his home.
As it turns out once the police were aware of the homes theft it didn’t take too long to find the missing $30,000 house. It was on a property not too far from its former location – how it got there is still unknown. Ownership documents found at the scene were found to be fraudulent.
Jeffrey LaForest of Southgate Township is charged with theft over $5,000, mischief, and uttering a forged document.

What was this mother thinking?
A mother was accused on Wednesday of driving a getaway minivan with her two young children inside after burglaries at two New York City homes.
Prosecutors said Erika Santana, 23, drove the van with her four-year-old and five-month-old children inside after Hugo Lantigua, 22, who is the baby’s father, and Pedro Camillo, 19, broke into two houses in the borough of Queens.
Santana, Lantigua and Camillo face charges including burglary, criminal possession of a weapon and endangering the welfare of a child, and face up to 25 years in prison.
“It is unthinkable that a mother and father would put their children in harm’s way while allegedly committing these crimes. It is even more unimaginable that they would allegedly do so with a loaded handgun in their vehicle,” Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said.

Talk about an embarrassing day at the golf course! A South Korean golfer, identified only as Jung by the Country’s Supreme Court, was fined 2 million Won ($1,400) for a golfing incident that took place at a golf club in Gunsan Province two years ago.
So how did Jung the golfer end up in court? Well, according to reports Jung wound up for a huge swing at the third hold, but when his left foot slipped, the ball rocketed off in the wrong direction and hit his caddy in the stomach. Oddly enough his caddy was standing 8 meters behind him!
The caddy was injured badly enough that he needed seven weeks of hospital treatment!
The Supreme Court recognized lower courts’ ruling that Jung had violated the duty of due care to prevent injury to others while playing a sport.
“In events such as boxing or judo, injury to the opponent is to be expected so there is that mitigating circumstance,” the court said.
“But in golf, it is unreasonable to expect a caddy should anticipate injury to him or herself.”
