Being Good At Being Bad…
Once again, we’ve collected a bunch of stories about folks who are really good at being bad—–and in the process—make it really easy for the police to catch up with them…
DO NOT PASS GO—GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL…
Police in Osaka, Japan must have thought they were in a real-life Monopoly game after one crook showed up on their doorstep.
Seems the fellow decided to rob a local store—so he grabbed his knife, and went charging into the establishment demanding cash.
He got ¥79,000 (which totals about $770 American).
But, his get-away was somewhat lacking.
Instead of high-tailing it out of town—he ran DIRECTLY to the police station where he surrounded.
He told the cops, ” I did something bad” and said he needed to be punished.
And just like in the Monopoly game, once he went directly to jail—he was locked up..
But, unlike in Monopoly—he won’t be using a “get-out-of-jail-free” card anytime soon.
METERING OUT JUSTICE…
Police in Calumet, Michigan also didn’t have to do a whole lot of work to solve one case—even if it was a case they kinda, sorta, forgot about.
Seems that back in 1976, one of their officers spotted someone at an expired parking meter.
The usual paperwork was bestowed—but the ticket’s recipient was a bit lax in paying off the $1.00 fine.
The car’s driver let the ticket go unpaid for 32 years…
But like the Japanese thief who got a guilty conscience after his robbery—the ticket’s recipient finally decided to listen to that nagging inner voice telling her to make it right.
So, she sent the Calumet police a $20.00 bill, and a note which read, “I always had good intentions of paying it. I put it aside and every once in a while I would come across it and said `someday I’m going to pay it.’ Now I think it’s time.”
The envelope she sent bore no return address—and she begged police in her note to please not try and track her down because she was a respectable lady.
I know they can be pretty tough enforcing the laws in some small towns—-but I don’t think they’re going to re-open Alcatraz just for her..
BUSTIN’ ROCKS….
The police in Rock Island, Tennessee were a little less forgiving in the ticket department—adding insult to injury for one driver…
All 42-year-old Justin Hill wanted to do was turn into his driveway.
But he apparently misjudged the speed of an oncoming car—and got hit…
His upset wife ran out of the home—leaving food cooking on the stove.
By the time rescuers got there, Justin’s home was ablaze.
He wound up in the hospital, his home burned down—and Rock Island police gave him a ticket from for failing to yield…
I’d say he ran afoul of the law that day—Murphy’s Law !
