Elderly Amish Man Caught on Film With Prostitute, Blackmailed
When a 75-year-old Amish widower slept with a prostitute, he -- we feel certain -- felt pretty bad about it the next morning. As if that guilt weren't enough for the old man, the prostitute and her boyfriend demanded $67,000 from him, claiming that they had filmed the scene with wall-mounted cameras and would upload the recording to the Internet. The pair was later arrested and, we can only imagine, the Amish man abhorred technology more than ever.
Bank Robber Gets Away With the Help of Craiglist
In October, a bank robber -- wearing a safety vest, blue shirt, face mask and goggles -- eluded police with the help of Craiglist. Just outside the bank, while the robbery was in progress, stood a group of men who were responding to a Craiglist day labor opportunity. As the advertisement required, they were all wearing safety vests, blue shirts, face masks and goggles.
Nude New Zealander Arrested After Responding to Fake Sexy Text Message
Late in 2007, a Wellington, New Zealand man received a racy text message from two anonymous "ladies," giving him only an address and a request that he show up naked. Well, he indeed showed up naked... at the home of one appalled, unsuspecting New Zealander. Both the nude Romeo and the sadistic texter were arrested, though neither were prosecuted.
Fake Craiglist Ad Costs Man Most of What He Owns
Last Spring, a post appeared on an Oregon Craigslist board stating that the owner of a specific house was leaving all of his worldly possessions (still in said house) to whoever wanted them. When homeowner Robert Salisbury rushed home -- on a tip from a woman suspicious about the offer of a free horse -- he found his house being ransacked by 30 strangers. We suggest he take that horse and collect some vengeance Clint Eastwood-style.
17-Year-Old Jailed for Stealing Virtual 'Furniture'
When a 17-year-old Dutch boy hacked into several accounts on the Second Life-style site 'Habbo' in 2007, the the law got involved. The boy was discovered to have stolen $5,800 worth of virtual furniture and knick-knacks. Apparently, crime -- whether actual or virtual -- does not pay.
Phishers Going After Your Phones in New 'Vishing' Trend
Over the past year, sneaky spammers have begun to forsake the worn-out territory of e-mail in favor of cell phones' fertile frontier. The result? "Vishing." Get it? Voice mail phishing. It might be more ominous if it didn't sound like a James Bond villain saying, "Wishing."
Burglars Break Into Restaurant, Steal HDTV, Leave Money / Food Behind
Around Halloween of last year, a truckload of thieves drove into -- that's right, into -- a Pennsylvania Mexican restaurant, where they -- apparently uninterested in the cash register -- stole a mid-grade 47-inch HDTV and fled the scene. We've all heard about how this generation is lacking in ambition, but this generation's thieves, too?

Its none of the above. Its nothing but a decomposing turtle that's lost its shell. You can see the "beak" and the shell outline on the skin where it used to be. Why people make so much out of nothing is beyond me..

It isn't a turtle without a shell. It's impossible to remove a turtle from it's shell without destroying the spine. A turtle's shell is part of it's rib cage and spine. I think it's a dog or racoon of some type, as unfortunate as that is.

Newsflash ... straight off the desk of the Paranoid Android in the Dept of Homeland Insecurity .... its another Serbian war criminal trying to escape justice and sneak into the USA (cunningly disguised as an exotic pet with a chronic orthodontic problem). From the body shape, posture and advanced state of decay, I'd say he went to Bjork's plastic surgeon before attempting to swim ashore !!!

lol @ a turtle that has lost its shell but good guess. Perhaps you have never butchered a turtle to consume it, sadly my husband does this as they are good eats. And that is NOT what a turtle without a shell looks like I have seen a couple in just the last few months. I dont know what it is and frankly I dont care maybe its a sea creature that is yet to be discovered its possible.. But the turtle thing thats a good theory

This is a crossover from turtle and dog...

From the photos, http://www.specialreport.com have concluded that the montauk creature cannot be a raccoon because the legs appear to be too long in proportion to the body, a sea turtle because Sea turtles do not have teeth, a rodent because Rodents have two huge, curved incisor teeth in front of their mouths, a dog or other canine because the prominent eye ridge and the feet don’t match. Maybe it is a wild boar?

I'm pretty sure that a turtle's spine and rib cage are part of the shell, that's why you can't remove a turtle from it's shell alive. It's back feet look like a dog, those feet are not designed for swimming.

Look closely at the shadows near the head...the light source (sunlight)would be coming from the viewer's left...but on the right side of the body (viewers left) the light appears to be coming straight down.
Might this be a Photoshop exercise?

I’m almost convinced this is a hoax.
Look at the evidence:
Very few pictures. If this were real, wouldn’t there be hundreds of pictures taken? I mean, seriously, even with my crappy cell phone camera I take 5 of 6 pictures of the same thing; and if I ever ran across a dead animal that seemingly no-one else had ever seen… Yeah, I’d be snapping them left and right until the memory card was full.
Quality of the photos. These two major photos, one showing this “monsters” on it’s left side and on it’s right, are all pretty high quality. What are the chances someone is going to have a high quality camera that can take that kind of an exposure on a beach? However, with that said, I’m not made of money and would never take an $800.00 camera to the beach and expose it to sand and salt air..
The “thing” in the photo is dead. Where are the flies? Seriously, if this thing was decomposing and rotting with a horrible smell in the sun as the eye-witnesses have said, where are the flies or other carrion feasting bugs? I see a couple of flies, but surely there would be swarms of them right?
Maybe I could snap some photos of a dead human and pass it off as a real legitimate zombie?
Just my 2 cents,

How to Guy at http://www.SpecialReports.com says "It can’t be an exotic species washed ashore from the Asian Tsunami because Long Island is on the Atlantic Ocean, not the Pacific ocean. It definitely isn’t a turtle (or other amphibian) because it has hair. The lower teeth and ears, as well as the feet, remind me of the pigs we used to raise. The teeth appear to be too large for a typical domestic hog, so this is either a specialty breed, or a wild boar. In any case, it is a hog of some kind. I don’t really see the mystery here." Do you agree?
