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?

and this is news because??... Steve Doocy is an author, father, news anchor? Or just because you're trying to make someone on FOX news look stupid? Maybe you should spend more time trying to report REAL news, like where Obama's campaign money came from, or ACORN fraud, or congress is going to get the money for all these bail outs? What Mr. Doocy does on his facebook is NOT news, it's gossip, idol chatter.

Hey maybe it's his business UNTIL he makes it public on Fox Network. That is worth commenting on just like any idiot . why a guy like Doocy thinks his Face book is relevant is like you making it sound as though reporting this iis not relevant. Doocy is on a Network that does claim to be "NEWS". Man right wingers sure never get it.Doocy needed no help looking stupid. He did as reported. It is not a common thing to do in that position. He is wiwerd , simple as that!
Oh by the way, people on here look for thses stories since this is not a news network like your firends on Fox like to think they are all about. Man get over all your crying about your lessons from talk radio which are nothing more then rants and complaints non stop about our government and decent people who simply happen to think opposite to them. Like your comments. Just because a person prefers to lean left that does not make the person bad. Grow up right wingers.

Once again it is time to bring AOL into the rubber room and scream at them repeatedly until they get it: NO ONE CARES!

Reply: Thats always a good cop out response when nothing worth while to say. Look, there would be some truly boring TV, radio periodicals and other types of activity. If no one ever wrote about odd things, interesting wierdo stuff and such. we would probably all be short in the humor dept like most conservatives. As for disliking a show, where did I say I watched it? Lest ye forget, this is a response tag for written commentary on just about anything. I was responding, (not complaining) and most here were not either. Try to get a grasp for what this particular site is, does and all about. For example, you responded to my comments even though completely wrong about your comments regarding what I did, said and why I said it! As I always do of course was research prior to responding. I never comment without being certain that what was stated was accurate. This was accurate and funny. Why always name calling? If people have a problem actually making a fair and intelligent comment without having to blast and insult the person their addressing, either learn to simply comment or move on to something easier to respond to. I do, by the way, have free time on occassion for allowing myself some enjoyment and pleasureable activity. U see, a fairly common train of thought can prevail in insignificant utterances, it goes like this: "If you and I were speaking,say in a group, you would not be able to comprehend the signifance of most utterance, because most words would be to copius for your limited dimension of comprehension. You see, Maybe I like "insignificant crap!" Maybe it helps me get thru inane comments made to me via this kind of site.
