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.

Vancouver police were on the hunt recently for a thief who snatched a take out meal at a fast food restaurant. The oddest thing about the story … the man was naked!
A Wendy’s Restaurant employee in Langley, British Columbia, was handing food to a customer at the takeout window to a customer waiting in her car when a naked man ran between the car and takeout window and snatched the fries!
The two women were hard pressed to describe the man other than to give an approximate age range.
The naked thief jumped into a waiting van which sped away from the scene of the crime.
Sounds like a dare to me!

A Czech man who found a pair of handcuffs in the garbage in the Southern Czech town of Brno decided to take them to a bar where he proceeded to bet his friends that he could free himself with the aid of a piece of wire. I wonder if this guy watched one to many episodes of McGyver?
When the 48 failed at his attempt to free himself from the handcuffs he walked to the police station to ask for help. Unfortunately for him the police didn’t believe his story. The did a background check on him to see if he’d been charged with any crimes in the past, but he had a clean record. I guess they believed he was an escaped criminal!
A locksmith finally came to his aid and freed the man. Why on earth didn’t he try a locksmith before going to the police?
I guess the moral of this story is that if you find handcuffs without any keys don’t play with them or else you might find yourself in a rather embarrassing situation!
