crime beat

Man there are a million insurance scams out there.  It kind of ticks me off because the rest of us have to pay for these scams with increased premiums.  For the thieves though, there's always the question of "how bad do you want it?"  For instance how much for you to cut off a hand, or a foot or a finger.  More after the jump.

I'm glad we don't get much of what I'd call "street crime" around here.  I'm talking about being robbed while walking in a park or just down the street.  Sure, we have plenty of crime, but I feel relatively safe going about my daily business.  In some place, it's just a fact of life that you're going to get held up or mugged on occasion.  Read more after the jump.

I tried to think of a more descriptive title for this story.  I really did.  But if "Angry lesbian hit and run rampage" doesn't hook you in, I doubt anything will.  This story is terrible, and for a number of reasons.  Check it out after the jump.

You want proof of the damage that crack does? Well, a lot of our awesome stories involve some crackhead doing something stupid.  Today is no exception.  Today we weave a fabulous tale of "the Crackhead Truck Driver Meets Officer Friendlies Taser". More after the jump.

I guess everybody draws the line somewhere.  There's even serial killers who really love cats.  Somewhere in that mix are "strippers who don't do drugs".  More after the jump.

Drunk people are funny (when they aren't killing people by driving drunk). Police had "heard it all" but this may be a new one; the woman in question said she couldn't stand on one leg because her big boobs would mess up her balance.  I don't know about you, but I'm getting a great visual right now.  More details after the jump.

Reason #7,342 that being an adult sucks — Engaging in a bit of lightsaber horseplay at the local Toys ‘R Us is really frowned upon.

Earlier this week, a group of men stormed a bank in Parana, Brazil and made off with approximately $16,000. It was the perfect heist — until one of the robbers clumsily shot himself in the foot. (No joke.)

You've heard the story of Cinderella and the glass slipper.  Just to fresh you, the prince has to match the slipper up with the proper foot. After this robbery, the police have something else to match up to their criminal.  Details after the jump.

Don't we all just love it when a crook gets coming to them. If more people just had the opportunity to beat the living sh!t out of crooks, I think there might be less crooks.  I know I'd be less likely to rob a place if I knew I was going to be punched in the face for a half hour.  Details after the jump.

It's another edition of the RockShow's "Crimebeat." In this addition, a burglar breaks into the wrong hotel room. In fact, there is practically no way you could break into a 'more wrong' hotel room. Details after the jump.

Ah, those frisky teens. What with their switchblades and twistin' around the maltshop. There's just no telling what kind of fads their going to latch onto next. You'd think they'd have thought of all the ways to be hoodlums that are possible, but you'd be wrong!
