Weird News Weekend

There appears to be a rash of strange crime-related news this week. For starters:

A couple of crooks are overcome with guilt. One escaped from a county jail, but left a rose fashioned out of toilet paper behind, as a way of saying sorry for breaking out. (He was later apprehended and returned to jail.)

Another, this time a burglar, was caught by the homeowner of the place he was trying to rob, and broke down into tears, and even handed over his own cell phone for the victim to call the police with.

And lastly, we have just plain ol' ineptitude, as a 17-year-old inmate, in an attempt to escape a city jail, crashed through the ceiling and into the police chief's office.

Let me know if you see any morals to these stories.


I see that smile.
