Greetings fellow Bizarros:

For today's story the part of the "Asian man" will be played by Chow Yun-Fat.

Australian police said a man left a briefcase containing "a
significant sum" of money behind at a cafe. Sydney police said a man left the suitcase behind around 8 a.m. after ordering a coffee.

Witnesses described the man as Asian, and his age around 30. He was wearing surfing shorts and a tank top when he walked into the cafe. Witnesses reportedly told the cops that the man appeared "to get spooked" and left without the money.

The owners originally suspected the suitcase may have contained a bomb and took it out to the sidewalk while waiting for police.

"They took it into a stairwell away from public view and opened it," a worker said.

Witnesses indicated the suitcase contained more than $1 million, but police said the money was still being counted and described the amount as "a significant sum."

A suspect matching the description of the man who left the suitcase was taken into custody. Despite all expectations no running gun fights involving martial arts and parkour ensued.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Carjackers foiled by stick shift --*
VALLEJO, Calif. - Police in California said three would-be carjackers were foiled because the vehicle they targeted had a manual transmission. Vallejo police said the men, at least two of them armed with handguns, approached a man in front of his home around 7:10 p.m. Saturday while he was unloading groceries from his car, the Vallejo Times-Herald reported Monday. Police said the attackers, each around 20 years old, forced the man to the ground and took the keys to his car, then fled after discovering they were unable to operate the stick shift.

*-- Man charged for carrying rubber ax --*
AKRON, Ohio - A lawyer for an Ohio man arrested for trying to sell a realistic rubber ax covered in fake blood at a bar said his client does not understand the arrest. Ed Sawan, defense attorney for Bill Morrison of Akron, said his client was arrested on a charge of inducing panic Oct. 16 and spent a night in jail when a woman called 911 and reported he was carrying a bloody ax outside Corky's Thomastown bar, the Akron Beacon Journal reported Monday. Morrison said he was carrying the ax, which turned out to be made from rubber and covered in fake blood, because he was planning to sell it to a friend who had not yet arrived at the bar. Sawan said the "charges appear to be unfounded." "He's unsure why he was arrested," Sawan said. "He didn't understand the need for him to be arrested, charged and incarcerated." "It's an odd sort of case," Akron City Prosecutor Doug Powley said. "But we're going to look at all the circumstances and see how strong a case it is and try to reach an appropriate outcome for everyone." Morrison is due in court Jan. 23. He could face a possible six months in jail if convicted of inducing panic.

This has to worthy of the Bizarre News Hall of Fame! "Butt injection with 'Fix a Flat' leads to arrest - A transgender woman is facing charges of practicing medicine without a license after police say she injected a patient's rear with everything but the kitchen sink in an illegal cosmetic surgery procedure."
[If these people only read Bizarre News. I reprinted almost the exact same story last year of a woman performing unlicensed cosmetic injections out of the back of her van on unwitting 'patients'. Of course, if you are getting a medical procedure done out of the back of a van there probably aren't too many wits to get around in the first place.]

About the incident with the airline pilot being stuck in the bathroom in flight, perhaps the co-pilot would not have been so apprehensive had the guy "with a thick foreign accent" not been given the password "Praise Allah... Death to all Americans"! -BB
