A Tacoma man called 911 to report the truck he had just stolen had run out of gas. But not only was he arrested, he learned not all vehicles run on the same type of fuel.

The Washington State Patrol says at about 12:30 p.m. Monday, a City Transfer employee headed south on State Route 167 spotted the silver 1985 Chevy truck that was stolen from their yard earlier that day. Someone was seen in the truck as it sat, disabled, on the shoulder in Renton.

Minutes later, and before troopers arrived, the suspect called 911 to report the vehicle had run out of gas. When troopers got there, they say the suspect tried to disguise himself as a City Transfer worker by wearing a fluorescent green reflector vest he found in the truck.

A City transfer worker identified the suspect as the person who stole the truck. The suspect was arrested and booked into the King County Jail.

As it turns out, the truck did not run out of gas. The suspect apparently didn’t realize that the truck took diesel. He filled it up with unleaded instead and it became disabled.

LEXINGTON PARK, Md. — Some sexual experimentation landed a southern Maryland woman in a hospital with injuries tough to imagine and even more difficult to forget.

Maryland State Police airlifted the 27-year-old woman to Prince George’s County Hospital Center early Sunday morning after she was injured in an incident involving a sex toy attached to a saber saw blade, TheBayNet.com first reported.

The man who called 911 about the incident admitted attaching the sex toy to the saw and then using the high-powered, homemade device on his partner, according to the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office.

The saw cut through the plastic toy and wounded the woman, according to TheBayNet.com. The injuries were severe enough for medevac, but the woman was released from the hospital Monday and is recovering from her unusual injuries.

Investigators talked to the woman, who told them she suffered the injuries during a consensual act and that she and her partner were trying something new and no crime was committed, the sheriff’s office said.

Craig Clasen was hunting tuna with his friends. Ya know, like ya do. He was using a snorkel, not scuba gear. And yet he was able to accomplish one of the manliest acts of all time…

Would you believe that Clasen killed a shark with his bare hands? The 2-hour battle occurred in the Gulf of Mexico, and there is high resolution, photographic evidence of it because he and his friends were in the process of making a documentary.

“Once I shot it in the gills I felt a moral obligation to finish the job,” Clasen said. “In the end we put a knife in its skull.”

Not only was this guy man enough to kill a shark on the shark’s home turf, but he was man enough to shed a single, underwater tear of sorrow at slaying one of nature’s most perfect predators.

Hey, it’s a twist on the Nigerian scam! The U.S. Department of Justice said that a Nigerian national apparently successfully convinced Citibank to transfer money over $27 million— from the National Bank of Ethiopia into accounts controlled by him and his associates. Luckily, the many of receiving accounts were unable to accept the transfers and the banks alerted Citibank.

According to the NY Times, “the scheme began in September, when Citibank received a package with documents purportedly signed by officials of the Ethiopian bank instructing Citibank to accept instructions by fax. There was also a list of officials who could be called to confirm such requests. The signatures of the officials appeared to match those in Citibank’s records and were accepted by Citibank.” Once Citibank received the faxed instructions for money to be wired, the bank called the “officials,” whose phone “numbers turned out to be for cellphones in Nigeria, South Africa and Britain used by the conspirators.” Of course.
