Two robbers showed barefaced cheek when they robbed a shop using thongs as masks to cover their faces. The two geniuses didn’t realise the skimpy underwear wouldn’t cover much of their faces – don’t they know the thong is small? – and so police are confident they will catch them. The mind boggles though – where did they get the underwear from? Their girlfriends? How do robbers get g

I just cannot believe that this has happened. The Malaysian Angkasawan Mejar Dr Faiz Khaleed’s arm was slashed by two robbers with a parang at 2am today outside his house in Taman Mawar Cheras. He didn’t lose anything but apparently his friend lost piece of jewellery. Man, I feel so sorry for him, right after Dr Faiz was crowned THE SECOND CHOICE; he got parang put on his neck! So kesian. Luckily he got promoted as a Mejar recently. Else I would say he is badly in need some mandi bunga or something. Haha.. The people who need a good soak in a floral bath to get rid of all the jinx is actually me and colleagues.

100_0827Originally uploaded by conradhofmeyr.First you have to read the story: Ananova, Robbers snatch dog pooA Chinese woman has told how robbers snatched a parcel of dog poo wrapped in newspaper out of her hand outside a bank. Mrs Chen, of Laohekou city, was waiting in the bank to withdraw money when nature suddenly called for her dog. "While I was waiting in the queue, my dog had to poo. So I asked for several pieces of newspaper to wrap the poo," she said. After wrapping it, Chen left the bank, and was waiting to cross the street to throw the parcel into a rubbish bin when the robber struck. "A motorcycle stopped swiftly before me, the man on the rear seat seized the package from me, and they sped away," she said. I imagine the thugs had a hard time explaining to their boss that they didn't get any money: Boss: "OK boys how much did we get in today's snatch?" Thief: "Sorry, boss, we didn't get any money." Boss: "Are you lying to me? Swear to me that you didn't get

Apparently, the richest man in Asia is named Li Ka-shing... He's worth $18.8 billion, according to Forbes (making him number 10 in the world on the Scrooge McDuck list), and he once reputedly paid a ransom of HK$1 billion for his kidnapped son, Victor Li. Maybe that was the thing that inspired these two blockheads to try robbing the grave of his dead wife (but at least they weren't as dumb as these guys): Two mainland Chinese brothers told a Hong Kong court they tried to plunder the grave of the late wife of Asia's richest man, Li Ka-shing, in a failed bid to blackmail him for her bones, a newspaper reported on Wednesday. The brothers, surnamed Lau, told Hong Kong's High Court that they had hatched the plan with six others, the Ming Pao newspaper reported. A spokesperson for the judiciary said the two mainlanders faced several charges, including blackmail and criminal damage to a tomb. The attempted grave robbery took place around midnight on January 29 last year at a Buddhist cem

Echoes of Lovecraft's "The Hound," sort of... A person who is dead is gone and doesn't exist anymore. But there is such a thing as respecting her memory, and then there is the question of how warped you would have to be to actually dig up a grave in order to have sex with a corpse. People capable of such a thing are probably capable of other things as well, which might be cause for concern: Three men who dug up a young woman's corpse to have sex with it after seeing her obituary photo cannot be charged with attempted sexual assault because Wisconsin has no law against necrophilia, an appeals court ruled Thursday. A judge was correct to dismiss the charges against twin brothers Nicholas and Alexander Grunke and Dustin Radke, all 21, because lawmakers never intended to criminalize sex with a corpse, the District 4 Court of Appeals said in a 3-0 ruling. The three men went to a cemetery in Cassville in southwestern Wisconsin on Sept. 2 to remove the body of Laura Tennessen, 20, who had

It feels like it has been a really long time since we told you about the new Robbers On High Street album, Grand Animals. And now, finally, the disc is in stores and ready for you to consume. The sophomore release from the band is very solid, but the timing for pushing it to the masses has been less than stellar. Let’s hope it does not affect the sales of the album for a band that deserves some attention. I have a nice little remix of a tune from the record for you today, to freshen things up a bit if you have already heard the album a bunch, this song originally appeared on the Fatalist and Friends EP from late last year, and is also on the new album. The remix however, is just a nice little bonus for you ROHS fans. Enjoy! Robbers On High Street - Married Young (The Glass Remix) Technorati Tags: Robbers On High Street, remix

KLANG: Four would-be robbers staged an accident by ramming their multi-purpose vehicle into a car in Batu Belah. But they chose the wrong target. In the car was an officer with the Selangor police contingent and a colleague. Not knowing that their “victims” were policemen, the suspects got down and tried to settle the “accident” which occurred early Thursday morning. When the officers identified themselves and asked for documents, the suspects ran away, leaving behind a 19-year-old youth. The officers checked the suspects’ vehicle and found five parangs (machetes) under the car seats. Police believe that the MPV was stolen. The youth has since been remanded to assist with investigations. Klang district CID chief DSP Ruslan Ibrahim confirmed the case.Source: The Star Online

Two blondes decided to rob a bank together. The first blonde, Judy, planned the robbery and went over the plan with the second blonde, Buffy, in great detail.The robbery began. Judy drove up in front of the bank, stopped the car and said to Buffy, "I want to make absolutely sure you understand the plan. You are supposed to be in and out of the bank in no more than three minutes with the cash. Do you understand the plan?""Perfectly," replied Buffy.Buffy went in the bank while Judy waited in the getaway car.

New York's Robbers on High Street arrive with fanfare in Cambridge tonight. Their new album, "Grand Animals" is set for a summer release and the guys from the band will be playing their songs tonight at TT the Bears in Central Square. The group has garnered a large internet following after they released "The Fatalist" - the track I am sharing with you today. (With good reason, it's a great song!) Robbers will be supported at the venue by three additional bands according to my information: The Redwalls, Baby Teeth and Tulsa. Good times for just $10. Get there early as this one (a pre-holiday gig) will probably sell out.ARTIST OF THE DAYROBBERS ON HIGH STREETRobbers on High Street - The FatalistTHE DAILY WEB - more Robbers...

An Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman get twisted at the local pub one night and conspire to rob the local bank. Drunk as they are, they try and rob the place but are too drunk to pull it off. As the alarms scream, they leg it out of the bank and down the alley. Hot on their heals are the cops, responding to the alarm. As the three drunks round a bend, they spot a Cats and Dogs Home and jump over the fence into the kennel yard. They see three burlap sacks lying on the ground and they each crawl into an empty bag. The cops leap over the fence behind them and spot the three bulging sacks on the ground. One cop kicks the first sack and the Englishman says, “Bark! Bark!” “Ah, must be a dog!” says the cop and he kicks the second sack. The Scotsman says, “Meow!” and the cop nods his head, exclaiming, “Must

Since Easter Sunday, we have been fretting over the disappearance of one very awesome and very awesomely expensive skateboard. We have looked high and low. We probably even picked something up and moved it to look behind it. A trip to the pawn shop was on the calendar and we were seriously considering the very generous offer of a spectacularly awesome pair of human beings who wanted to replace the board for us. You know this is going to have a good ending already, don’t you? As my son was walking home from baseball practice tonight, he saw a kid skating in front of the neighbor’s house. The kid attempted to perform a kickflip. If you are familiar with the trick or if you’re clicking that link, you know that this maneuver flashes the bottom of the deck to someone standing in front of you. In that second, my son saw what he thought was the design of his board. When the kid failed to land the trick, the board landed bottom-up and cemented my son’s suspicions. He ap

As of late my work has brought me to a somewhat intimidating area of town; it's one of Toronto's poorest neighbourhoods. Poverty stricken, the streets are riddled with those that are homeless, ongoing illegal activities and some sketchy characters to put it mildly. Sketchy, like the older gentleman that approached me the other day to let me know of the damages inside the shelter he's staying at

15 Then they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold doves; 16and he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17He was teaching and saying, ‘Is it not written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations”? But you have made it a den of robbers.’ 18And when the chief priests and the scribes heard it, they kept looking for a way to kill him; for they were afraid of him, because the whole crowd was spellbound by his teaching. 19And when evening came, Jesus and his disciples went out of the city. Mark 11:15-19El Greco, "Jesus Overturning the Tables of the Moneychangers" (late 16th c.)During Holy Week, I am looking again at the last week recorded in the Gospel of Mark.

It’s not due to hit shelves till June, so I was a bit surprised to see the new full length from Robbers On High Street hit my mailbox this week. Even so, after 3 times through, it’s a bit of an early dissapointment. The strongest tracks so far are the ones you are already familiar with. “The Fatalist” and “Married Young” from the late 06 EP. And “Crown Victoria”, which has been a live standby from the band for awhile now. The jury remains out on this one, as it should, since we are still 3 months from a street date. And in the interest of not getting too ahead of ourselves, here is a track from “Grand Animals” for your streaming enjoyment.

(above: Heather Johnston and Ashley Miller, the alleged "Barbie Bandits")Two teenage girls caught on videotape smiling while they robbed a bank in suburban Atlanta, GA on Tuesday have been arrested by police following a car chase, Douglas County sheriff's Major M.O. Harper told CNN. The two girls, Ashley Miller and Heather Johnston, both 19 years old, were arrested after a brief car chase late Thursday night 20 miles north of where the robbery occurred. Also arrested was the bank teller Benny Herman Allen III, 22. All three women were charged with felony theft and marijuana possession, Cobb County Police spokeswoman Cassie Reece told the Associated Press. "It was a conspiracy to take money from the bank," Reece said. "They were in on it."Michael Chastang, 27, also was arrested and charged with felony theft and drug trafficking.

Bank of America has joined the race to help devalue the American way. Their so-called “pilot program” that offers illegal immigrants credit cards is their way of saying, “We don’t care about Americans.” I’m not against people of other nations — absolutely not. I am for the protection of our American culture, for upholding its laws and borders, and keeping the Great American Melting Pot from becoming a collection of bowls. You come to America and you fit in. You don’t come in and expect special exceptions or privileges. You don’t go to the front of a line of people who are following the rules to enter our nation legally and planning to contribute to our society. Working under the guise of compassion for people who have already broken the law to come here and say that they’re helping these people build their own financial freedom is something I find sickening. Why not help the people who are here legally? Am I the only one who s

This could be another reason to ban the burka: The Jewellers' Association of Maharashtra has now asked the police to bar customers wearing veils from entering shops. "There is a rise in the number of robberies in which veiled customers were involved. In a year, eight to nine such incidents are reported. There is a possibility of two to three veiled gangs operating in the city," Fatechand Ranka, president of the Jewellers' Association in Pune was quoted by news agency PTI as saying. "Due to the veils, these customers cannot be identified by us or police. So we have taken a decision not to allow veiled customers in the shops. And for that, the Association has sought permission in a letter to the state home ministry, state police chief and city police commissioner," he added.And in England, there too, they seem to have similar problems: An armed gang wearing burka headdresses escaped with jewellery after a raid on a shop in Halifax.
