Burglar Lies in Bed with Woman, Starts to Chat
A burglar suspected to be behind a string of break-ins at an apartment complex in East Orlando is stealing nothing and harming no one. The man prefers to lie in bed and talk to his victims, one alleged victim said. "He just walked in and laid in bed with me and started talking to me and having a normal conversation with me, like (it was) nothing," said an Orlando woman who is the latest victim of the bizarre crime and did not want to be identified, central Florida ABC affiliate WFTV reported.The woman, who was not hurt, feared that the burglar would turn violent on her. She allegedly ordered him to leave the apartment and he complied. "I didn't know if I screamed if he was going to come out
with (a) weapon. I couldn't see; it was dark," she said. "He needs to get caught before it escalates more.""He comes into my apartment and talks to me like he's a friend of mine in the middle of the night at four in the morning. That's not a normal person," said the woman. Police said the burglar hasn’t hurt anyone but that they want to arrest him as soon as possible because they are not sure what he’s going to do next. Investigators are handing out flyers at an apartment complexes in Dovetail Villas and the Renaissance Apartments, hoping for a tip. “He had cologne on he had nice dress slacks on. He's not homeless, mental issues probably," said the alleged vicitm."I hope they catch him. He really needs to get caught because he's a psychopath."
Final Mortgage Payment in 800 Pounds of Pennies
A Massachusetts man proved to be penny and pound-wise by paying his final mortgage payment in pennies. Thomas Daigle handed his bank a pair of boxes filled with 62,000 pennies this year, The Milford Daily News reported. Collecting what he estimated at 800 pounds of pennies was not an easy feat. Daigle, who runs an optician shop, began saving them 35 years ago when he and his wife Sandra moved into their current Milford home. “It was something I wanted to do,” Daigle told the paper. “I always follow through. I was just praying I didn’t die first.”Daigle said his wife Sandra laughed when he began picking up the pennies soon after they married in 1977, saying they would one day pay off their mortgage with them.Just a few years after he began collecting, Daigle had to purchase two steel military ammunition boxes to withstand the weight of the pennies. He had initially stored the pennies in a grape crate, but it eventually gave way to the heavy coins.

VANCOUVER -- B.C. Mounties are once again in damage control after graphic images of an officer engaged in violent bondage sex scenes were made public. “I am personally embarrassed and very disappointed that the RCMP would be, in any way, linked to photos of that nature,” B.C.’s acting RCMP commander Randy Beck said in a statement Thursday, adding Mounties are conducting a code-of-conduct investigation. Beck was responding to explosive photos allegedly showing Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jim Brown in various bondage scenes that were at one point posted on the Internet but since removed.
Some of those images obtained by QMI Agency depict a woman tied up, choked and slashed with a machete by a man identified as Brown, who apparently styled himself as the “Kilted Knight.” The scenes often appeared to involve simulated torture, with Brown in a dominant position.
