If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!
This is Arkán’s Wacky Crime of the Day, where I shall try to post a strange but true crime daily. I am instigating this on The Soda Shop, Campbell County, and The Town of Odyssey. Because there are some people I know on all these things which are on only one, and I wouldn’t want to deprive them. I have been planning on this for a while, so hopefully I won’t run out of material. Unfortunately I may miss a day now and then and all, but hopefully I will then post two the next day. I hope you enjoy these.
#I“I don’t.” Mauro Pirelli of Vicenza, Italy, was a jittery bridegroom.
Two hours before his wedding he had his hair cut. While seated in the barber’s chair, he anxiously considered his future as a husband.
As his doubts worsened, inspiration struck.
He borrowed a car, speed to nearby Thiene, and climbed into a second-story window.
He clumped and clattered to make sure the homeowner heard him. Then he left a trail even a blind detective couldn’t miss.
The police arrived in the nick of time — as Pirelli was going into the church to be married.
“I attempted a robbery just to get arrested and avoid the wedding,” Pirelli confessed at his trial.
A panel of judges found him guilty of attempted robbery but withheld a prison sentence.
#IIHe’s alive and kicking, isn’t he? The law finally caught up with Cristina Echvarria, a lady of many addresses. Among her offenses: practicing medicine without a license, and billing Medicaid for treating a 220-pound football player for diaper rash.
#IIIIt’s the reel thing. A thief in Canton, China, suffered from catching a cola.
Yup, a cola, not a cold.
Guards at the Chrysanthemum Guest House nabbed him as he sipped a soda he had just reeled in.
Police identified him as the celebrated “fishing burglar.” He specialized in pulling valuables through hotel windows with a fishing rod.
Regarding to #II. I believe she filed a (obviously) bogus claim to get money.

#IVThe layered look. Two Senegalese crooks learned clothes don’t always make the man. Sometimes they make the prisoner.
The pair broke into a clothing shop in Paris and waddled out with lots of stylish threads. The cops quickly spotted them. The two men were dressed in a total of fourteen leather vests, three jackets, one coat, and six pairs of trousers.

#VTrial by file. For two years Astred Greene flew the world free, saving herself an estimated $40,000 in air fares. She masqueraded as a flight attendant.
Greene got aboard overseas flights by walking past the gate agent, who took her for a member of the crew. One mistake did her in. She was too good at the job. Passengers wrote letters to the airline praising her helpfulness.
An office worker decided to start putting the letters in Greene’s personnel file. Whoops, no file.

#VI1, That seemed to actually be a clever way to avoid being recognized. The initial shock prevented the victim from noticing anything really identifiable.

#VIIJoin the dinar’s club. In 1987, five tourists from West Germany were arrested for lighting their cigarettes with 100-dinar bills in the Koral Hotel in Umag, Yugoslavia.
One of the five tourists took pictures of the lighting for laughs. A hotel employee became so angered that he called the police. The film was held for evidence.
A judge fined the tourists the equivalent of $30 each and denied them “Yugoslav hospitality” (that is, the freedom to visit the country) for three years.
#VIIICash and carry. Two women selected $419 worth of clothes in a department store in Heath, Ohio. They paid with a fake $1,000 bill.
The bill bore the phrases “A. Phony-bill” and U. Cantcashit.”
The store couldnotcashit. It was too large a bill. So a clerk took one of the women to a neighboring store.
No one there noticed anything unusual either, and the women walked off with their new clothes and $581 in real money.
Does everyone put their jewelry near open windows?
Too good of a ruse.
