In Delaware, a woman walked into a Five Guys restaurant, applied for a job, then stole $15 from two tip jars! Surveillance video and her application resulted in her arrest.
Wow.
What is going on in her head?! "I'm going to apply for a job here and oh look at that money just sitting out in the open. They won't notice if I take some of it. I need money to get home anyway." There goes her chances to get a job there or anywhere really. There has to be a name for this special group of people of this intelligence (or lack thereof).
She ended up pleading guilty to theft and got one-year probation and has to pay a $500 fine and court costs.
And for what? $15. Fifteen bucks and no job.

Man Steals Truck To Make It To His Court Hearing....For Stealing a Car
21-year-old Michael Heller, from Redding, needed a ride to his court hearing for stealing a car. Apparently, instead of finding a ride or using public transportation, he decided to steal a truck in order to get there. The owner of the truck had been working on it when Heller just got in and drove away.
So....
Let me get this straight....
You get arrested and charged for stealing a car. Your court date has arrived. You have no ride there and, for the sake of argument, let's say you have no money to take the bus. So the only logical thing you can think of is to just steal another car so you can make it to court.
Right. Because that's what any normal person would do.
I just have to ask....how are you going to steal a car to go to court for stealing another car!? No lessoned learned there! Did he really think they wouldn't charge him again? "I'm already being charged for stealing a car, they can't charge me again." Seriously?
I understand being desperate and you feel stuck because you have absolutely no way of getting where you need to be but there is always a way. A LEGAL way. I'm sure he could of scrounged up a dollar or so needed for the bus. Or even call his public defender to say he has no way of getting there and what should he do. There's always a way to work things out.
The smart thing to do would have been to plan ahead. It really amazes me how dumb people are. Then again, if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have this blog.

British Girls Dress Up As BURNING Twin Towers
On Halloween, two British students, Amber Langford and Annie Collinge, dressed up as the 9/11 Twin Towers. And to make matters worse, they dressed up as the burning Twin Towers. If that isn't bad enough, they entered a costume contest....and won.
How. Absolutely. Disrespectful.
Now, I'm all about freedom of expression (granted these girls aren't from the US) and I think too many people get offended over very minor things, BUT there are lines that should never be crossed. Dressing up as an icon from a horrific event where thousands of people lost their lives and forever changed the United States is definitely one of those lines. Especially on a holiday known for skimpy, gory, bloody, and humorous costumes.
What was going through these girls' heads is beyond me. They released a statement apologizing after all the backlash stating their intent was to "depict a modern day horror that happened in our lifetime and not intended as a joke" but in my opinion, they went too far. Why would you want to depict a modern day horror anyway? Why couldn't they just dress up in normal costumes like everyone else? A serial killer, a zombie, sailor, movie character, etc. I mean I understand wanting to stand out and win but there are better, more tasteful ways to do that.
THOUSANDS of peoples' lives were forever changed inside those towers and to dress up and mock the towers is mocking those people as well. Almost like adding salt to a wound that's been slowly healing but now ripped back open.
The nightclub, Rosie's, not only let the girls in like that, but also awarded them the first place prize, also got a lot of backlash from this. The company that runs the nightclub had to issue an apology and launch an investigation. From reading some angry people's tweets, it seems the bouncers had denied people entry for a lot less but had no problem allowing the girls to enter dressed in that manner.
I get it. It wasn't their country attacked and their civilians killed, but it was still a major historic event that should be respected. You don't see Americans dressing up as Jews in concentration camps, Mexican drug cartels, or Lord's Resistance Army members from Africa. So why would it be okay to dress up as buildings that were attacked by terrorists, collapsed, and killed so many people? And who was the Einstein that allowed them to WIN a costume contest dressed like that?!
The girls aren't the only "bad guys" here. Everyone involved with the contest is at fault too, just in a different way. I hope these girls realize the extent of their disrespect.
In reality, they viewed this as something innocent until people got angry at them. It was only then that they were sorry. I'm sure they weren't that sorry after winning money.
Let this be a lesson learned ladies.
