THIEF GETS THE BIRD
A man in Ontario, Canada returned home one evening to find his more valuable and easily-fenced goodies stacked neatly beside the door. When the homeowner saw the living room was also spattered with blood, he feared the worst for his beloved house pet, a large African parrot. The parrot was alive, though in a nasty mood, and investigators determined that the blood in the room hadn’t come from the bird. The mystery was solved a short time later when police arrested a scratched, clawed, and thoroughly terrified burglar hiding nearby. The man told the cops he’d broken into the house, and the parrot -- who hadn’t batted an eye while he piled up his loot by the door -- suddenly attacked him. The suspect fled empty-handed when the parrot launched an all-out attack on his eyes. The man told police "I’d rather go to jail than face that bird again."

She escaped after relieving the clerk of $110. When State police arrived at the store and interviewed the clerk, they sent an officer across the street to the high school that the clerk -- and the thief -- had graduated from. The clerk was able to pick out the suspect’s picture from the school’s yearbook, and police were able to make a quick arrest.
CAUGHT ON TAPE!
A night clerk at a convenience store in Kansas City, Missouri put tape over the store’s security cameras, removed the money from the cash register, and stashed it in a trash bin behind the store. The clerk then called police to report he had been robbed. The investigating officers didn’t take long to figure out the clerk was lying: the tape he had used on the security cameras was transparent masking tape, which meant the whole scam had been recorded on video.
