A man demanded a bank teller fill his grocery bag with money at the RBC Bank at 7852 Arboretum Drive just after lunch today.

He was wearing a long-sleeved shirt with “Houston Rockets” printed on the front, and a flat short-billed cap.Investigators with the Safe Streets Task Force think he’s

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It may always take two to tango, but it apparently only takes one arm to tango and mambo. Christian de la Fuente and his partner were the top-scoring couple after Monday night’s “Dancing With the Stars” performance round, despite an injury to the Chilean television actor’s left arm. De la Fuente dropped partner [...]

I broke a cardinal rule of fashion the other day. I ordered jeans in a size smaller than I usually get because I loved the damn jeans and it was the only size (and pair) left, oh and they were on sale ... oh and I wanted some extra motivation to lose 3 lbs. Yeah, it's fucked up isn't it. Those are all of the things you AREN'T supposed to do when it comes to shopping. I also bought the jeans online so I had no idea how they would look.I ordered the jeans from FashionChataeu, which is a place I highly recommend ordering from. The shipping was fast and they offered a 15% off code (even worked on sale merchandise).Anyways, back to the jeans. I had the jeans delivered to my office since I am never at home. As soon as I got them I ran into the bathroom to see if they would fit without the

A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried this creative defense: "My client merely inserted his arm into the window and removed a few trifling articles. His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offense committed by his limb." "Well put," the judge replied. "Using your logic, I sentence the defendant's arm to one

(Archived in: Nomad Resources Telephony)UPDATE: The Digital Nomad likes free services, and the availability of free "Bandit Phone Numbers" come and go. The definition of a bandit phone number is a disposable number that you can use when filling out any paper forms, or online applications that may require a verifiable phone number, but mask your actual home, business, or cell phone number to provide privacy, prevent fraud, and profiling by cross-referencing of data bases (similar to using postal boxes for mail privacy). A bandit number is a working telephone number that will be answered by an automated voice mail system, and the message forwarded to be retrieved usually via email.The ultimate free service right now is Google Grand Central. Unfortunately, GC numbers are hard to come by, and they probably won't always be free. Most free bandit numbers are a voice mail service, sometimes packaged with a fax-to-email service to promote an upgrade to premium paid services. NetZero PrivateP

She was the most feared outlaw in India. If this story wasn’t true, you wouldn’t believe it… “Bandit Queen” is a powerful portrayal of a real-life, modern day outlaw, Phoolan Devi (”Goddess of Flowers”). The movie opens at the point at which the 11 year-old Phoolan is sold as a bride to a middle-aged man. The marital rape and abuse that follow drives her to leave him and eventually, as an outcast, she falls into a life of brigandage. The movie does not portray the heroine as just another “wronged woman” but as one with deep psychological problems. Over time, she grows from merely enraged and disturbed to violent and vicious as she learns that she now has the power to inflict pain as well. After a long stint in prison, the real-life Phoolan Devi went on to marry above her caste and became the first Untouchable to serve in the Indian Parliament, but how she got there is a truly incredible story. Cast: Seema Biswas, Nirmal Pandey Dir

The Khaki Bandit.  That’s how Eric Almly was known in Milwaukee when they didn’t have a name to match up with the burglaries.  He’s been connected to computer thefts in Minnesota, California, Arizona, and Florida.  Supposedly, Almly’s modus operandi was to walk into corporate offices and lift laptops found in the office.  He wouldn’t walk in willy-nilly.  He’d stake out the soon-to-be crime scene, studying the place.  He would dress the part to better match the surroundings (I guess corporate America is really into khakis).  He would enter the offices close to the end of business day—when things were winding down, people were leaving work, but prior to the nighttime security staff arriving—and just hang around until people left.  Hey, he looked like he belonged.  On the rare times when he was confronted, he would lie.  Hey, he sounded and looked like he belonged.  He’d go around the deserted office, pick up the

Back in August a Chandler, Arizona police officer left his K-9 partner Bandit in his hot car and the dog died. Now we hear that the officer, Sgt. Tom Lovejoy, will no longer be a member of the K-9 unit. From the Arizona Republic… Chandler police Sgt. Tom Lovejoy will serve a two-day suspension without pay and never work on the department’s K-9 unit again, police announced Friday after an inquiry into the death of his K-9 partner, Bandit. Chandler Police Chief Sherry Kiyler said in a statement that the suspension was for “conduct unbecoming and neglect of duty.” Bandit died in August after being left in a car for more than 12 hours.

Burka bandits come from Europe to American shores (H/T: The Jawa Report): HIDDENITE, N.C. -- Police are investigating an unusual robbery in Hiddenite. Someone dressed in a burgundy burka walked into the People’s Bank at 3:45 p.m. Tuesday, showed the teller a handgun and demanded money. The robber then took off down N.C. 90 in a burgundy sport utility vehicle. Authorities are looking into

Austin, Cedar Park & many other cities around Central Texas have passed laws in regards to bandit signs, and a very small handful of brokers have engaged in knowingly violating those very laws.  The problem was before September 1, 2007, the authorities had to witness the placement of illegal bandit signs to actually fine you.  They simply removed & destroyed the signs at an unauthorized cost to tax payers. As of September 1, 2007, that law has been updated.  Now all levels of Government can fine & prosecute abusive bandit sign owners. The county & state entities can prosecute you regardless if you were seen placing the sign or not, and it’s our understanding the fines are not a slap on the wrist by any means and can even be criminally prosecuted.  I’ve watched several brokerages around the city do their best to bend the laws, placing 10 or even 15 signs on a single street corner to simply test the waters.  The city or county would simply remove the sig

Here's a couple of Bandit Angels (Desmoholocanthus arcuatus) from a dive the other week. Hawaii only has a limited number of angelfish species on their reefs, most of which are dwarf species ranging to only 2-4 inches in length, Bandits however reach about 7 inches in length. These guys are not real common, but we've got a couple of spots where there's a good shot at seeing them.So the latest on the boat is... it's still being worked on. Longest 3 weeks of my life... Anyways, it's really starting to shape up. It sat once again for a short while but we've got someone working on it now. We're fabricating new hatch covers, moving fuel lines/vents/etc, finishing the interior grinding/sanding/fiberglassing and such and it should be ready for paint hopefully sometime next week. After that it'll need about 6-10 hours of work - that's probably a week in mechanic's time - and it'll be done. I've got all my charters pretty much set for the rest of the month on my friend's boat a

The Duct Tape Bandit - named for the fact that he made a mask out of duct tape as opposed to using a paper bag or a balaclava - is a complete idiot. Watch the video above… it’s almost like the guy is actually Kevin Federline. Look at me, do I look like a duct tape bandit, baby? tee hee! Share This

The Duct Tape Bandit has been caught. At long last, your ducts can rest easy. No, he wasn't stealing duct tape, he was using it to hide his identity. It did a pretty freaking good job too, just look at the photo. If this guy robbed me the only thing I'd be able to say to the cops would be "I was mugged by a retarded mummy." No way the cops are catching him on that description.* Duct Tape Disguise Verdict: Not Epic ** Idiocy Verdict: EPIC *NOTE: He was caught and beaten by a liquor store owner. **DOUBLE NOTE: This tiny image is of this clown.

Library shelves, that are just as likely to be filled with the latest DVDs these days as with books, have become tempting targets for thieves who see them as easy targets.

Thomas Pilaar, 33, obtained seven

Recently there have been a rash of thefts and vandalism at car washes here in Austin. I'm not really sure I get this. Actually, I'm sure I don't get this. For one thing, it has been raining almost every day for the past forever. I know I haven't washed my car since the beginning of June (or maybe it was May?). But I suppose I'm not the best judge of this since I usually wash my car about once a month or less. It really depends on how dirty my car is and if there is a car wash at the gas station. I am more about convenience than a clean car. But how much money could there be at a car wash in the rain forrest called Austin? People don't wash their cars when it is raining all of the time. And since there is rain in the forecast for the rest of the month, I can't imagine business picking up all that much. So why would you think that stealing money from the empty pay stations at the car wash would be worth the effort? Do these people need quarters because they have a lot

I am visiting my parents at their senior living community in Orange County, California. It's a nice, gated complex with live security and lots of conveniences on site. It's also a treasure trove of ideas. There are characters around every corner.This is not an overheard conversation, but it's too tempting too ignore! I am gathering my Mom's clothes from the laundry room and a man walks in with a spring in his step. He is mid-60s, tan with wavy salt and pepper hair. He wears jean shorts, a green Hawaiian shirt and brown Van's without socks. He has hair on his arms but none on his legs. He smiles at me:Smooth Legs: Ah, helping out huh? Me: Yes, my parents don't want to cram machines into their utility closet. But it would be so much easier than this.Smooth: Yeah, well, I agree with them. Why buy machines when you've got 10 right here? This works out fine. (As he opens a dryer...) Well son of a bitch! Son of a BITCH! Me: What's the matter?Smooth: Someone stole my jeans! Son of a b

An armed robber who demanded a Playstation 3 at gunpoint agreed to settle for an XBox 360 when staff told him they didn't stock the computer game console.The hooded robber swiped more than £500 of goods - including the XBox, a handful of games and £60 from the till - when he raided the Blockbuster DVD and game rental shop in High Street, Thornton Heath.Two female members of staff were on duty when the man walked into the shop at 7pm on April 14, pulled a black handgun from his waistband and demanded money from the till.After they handed over the cash he then demanded a Playstation 3 console - worth £400. When he was told they didn't have one he asked for an XBox 360 instead. He then grabbed a handful of Xbox 360 games before walking out of the store.Neither victim was injured but it has been claimed that police did not arrive for 20 minutes because they were sent to the wrong Blockbuster store.Police have described the suspect as a 6ft black man, aged around 25 years, of medium bu

The Lipstick Bandit has been busted.I'm not talking about Kim Jung, the lady famous for her Twitter haiku. THAT kissing bandit is a Photobucket girl who became known around the SXWX fest for her Missha Moisture Red 322 plastered lips, which were generously smacked on any person within smooch distance. Kim gave a plug for the Missha brand saying it was the ideal bandit stick--being just right for transferability--but not too squishy.Being a Web 2.0 devotee, Kim has attempted to rationalize her psychotic behavior as being "completely transparent meatspace social network tagging":Ok, those were all justifiable Lip tags. Some more of her victims can be found here.No one at SXWX turned in Kim Jung.

Confessions of a Macedonian Banditby Albert Sonnichsen(New York: Duffield & Co., 1909)Chapter XXIV: Confession of the Melancholy Brigand After leaving Apostol we began gradually shaping our course northward. Crossing the River Vardar we came into Kukush, and there, in the extensive cane brakes of Lake Amatov, we met and spent several days with Damion Grueff. He was on a tour arranging the elections of delegates for the coming annual general congress, to be held up close to the Bulgarian frontier. I took, then, a photograph of this prominent leader; I little thought then of the value this portrait would have to Macedonians. A little more than a month later Grueff was killed in a skirmish with asker.There were just six of us, and for five days we had been dodging military patrols, which is no college sport under a hundred rounds of ammunition, a Manlicher rifle and a twenty-pound, goats' hair cloak. On the sixth day we came to the lower slopes of the S

No I’m not surfing for porn! I’m in love with Google Reader. I hurt my back two days ago and since then the pain has been getting worse (I’m a masochist and won’t take pain killers). The worst of the pain is concentrated just below my neck resulting in a lack of mobility in my neck (I move like I’ve got an iron bar shoved up my backside and into my head) and an almost 80% lack of mobility in my right arm. Things will get better and return to normal soon, but for the moment I’d pretty much stuck to using just my left hand (I’m ambidextrous, so that makes life a bit easier). I’m going through my news feeds right now and am VERY happy that I can sit back in the chair with my wireless keyboard and navigate through my feeds and publish to my link blog just using my left hand. J to the next article, K to the previous and Shift+S to publish to my link blog. Lovely, simple and easily done with one hand! feeds, Google Reader, int

Yesterday my brother and sister-in-law put one of their two dogs, Bandit, to sleep, which was sad news to all of us, as Bandit and Taylor hold a special place in our family. This 12-inch peanut butter flavored dog bone would make a lovely gift for Taylor, Bandit's closest friend and partner in crime, along with a card for my brother, sister-in-law, and nephew offering words of sympathy. While gifts of sympathy don't do much in the way of easing the loss of a loved one (either human or pet), I've found it's always best to show that you're available if and when your support is needed.
