(1) Bryan Sanderson was arrested minutes after allegedly committing his second bank robbery of the day in York County, Va., in September. Sanderson’s main misjudgment, according to police, was making his getaway both times in his company home-inspection van with “Sanderson Services” on the side.

(2) New Yorkers Donald Ray Bilby, 30, in July, and Abdullah Date, 18, in August, were, respectively, convicted and arrested for sending anthrax threats to authorities in envelopes that each contained their correct return addresses. The anthrax threats allegedly also included a taunting note reading, “Catch me if you can.”

What the heck is that? Find out by visiting my roomie, the Paranormal blog, where the current post discusses the lack of scientific study into UFO’s and the odd humanitarian efforts of a space lovin’ cult called the Raelians - remember them? It’s a short post. Check it out.

People are coming back and telling me that they are glad to have been introduced to The Paranormal Blog. Have you been there yet? The latest post is about a house in Toronto where some strange activities have taken place. Three male home owners have died prematurely of heart attacks there too! In the comments section I tell my own partial tale about the house I grew up in and the some of the odd things that happened there. Go read the post and see my comment.

Thief Betrayed by Music

AMSTERDAM - A burglar who broke into a house in the Dutch town of Tiel on Wednesday night could not resist playing the piano he found there after ransacking the living room, police said on Thursday.

Unfortunately for the 20-year-old thief, his music woke the owner of the house, who called the police.

“The owner didn’t register whether the playing was any good or not. He was more worried about the state of his house,” a police spokesman said.

Check your Pockets!

ANN ARBOR, Michigan - Dry cleaners find all kinds of things hiding in the clothes of their customers — but probably nothing quite like what some employees stumbled across recently. A note found in a customer’s clothing read, “You have committed a murder, but no one believes it. All I can do is kill myself, then everyone will see what you have done.”

It was signed: “Your wife, Alice.”

Employees called police, fearing the note described a murder-suicide plot. But it turns out the owner of the sport coat is an actor involved in a play. The note was a prop, city police Detective Brian Zasadny told The Ann Arbor News.

Zasadny tracked down the customer on Wednesday. The man explained he is involved in the play, “Retreat from Moscow.”

Speaking of outlandish! You simply must visit my renter!
The Paranormal blog. It’s a hauntingly good read!

Reserved Parking:

A judge in New Port Richey, Fla., who found a car in his reserved parking space, parked behind it and ordered the driver to stay in his courtroom until he was ready to call it a day and go home. “There’s two perks to the job,” Circuit Judge Stanley Mills told the St. Petersburg Times. “I have my own bathroom, and I have my own parking spot, and you’re not going to get to use either.”

The 26-year-old woman who had parked in the space said she misinterpreted the “reserved” sign, thinking it just meant the parking was reserved for those going to the courthouse.

Odd News:

“Shooting Reported at Firing Range,” an August story on mischief at Shooter’s Choice, in The State newspaper of Columbia, S.C.

“Hong Kong Man Found Being Eaten Alive by Maggots,” an August story in The Sydney Morning Herald about a 67-year-old man who was discovered just in time and is recovering.

Raised by Dogs

A recent documentary produced for Australia’s Channel 4, and described in a story in Sydney’s Daily Telegraph, caught up with a Ukrainian woman, now 23, who had been “forgotten” by her mother and father and raised by dogs until discovered at age 8.

Oxana Malaya, one of about 100 known feral children, has the tested mental age of 6, stilted speech and an uncoordinated gait, and still buries any gifts she receives and runs into the woods when she is upset.

For the camera, Malaya showed she can still bark, run on all fours, pant with her tongue out, and dry herself off by shaking.
