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!

A man wanted for a Kmart store robbery was arrested the other day when he showed up to take a test to become a police officer.
A Chula Vista police spokesman, Bernard Gonzales, said that investigators had identified Romeo Montillano as a suspect in a December 8th robbery. Once they realized that Montillano had signed up for the February police entrance exam they just waited for him to come in to take the test.
When the man was arrested he had the gaul to ask if he would still be able to take the exam!!!
I think that would be a big NO! Instead he might end up seeing the inside of a jail cell for some time as his bail was set at $110,000.

Here’s a new idea – The Albuquerque Police Department has turned to the want ads for snitches. An ad in the alternative newspaper The Alibi asks “people who hang out with crooks” to do part-time work for the police.
It reads in part: “Make some extra cash! Drug use and criminal record OK.” Hmmm I wonder if the employment rate in Albuquerque has gone up yet?
Capt. Joe Hudson says police received more than 30 responses in two days. He says one tip was a “big one” but wouldn’t elaborate.
An informant whose tip helps officers arrest a drug dealer could earn $50. A tip about a murder suspect could bring up to $700.
It’s not the first time department has run ads. In a program 10 years ago, police received so many calls they turned the phones off.
