Greetings fellow Bizarros:

When I hear the term "bucket list" I think of things like skydiving or visiting Japan or sailing across the Atlantic. But these two women had slightly less ambitious goals.

Two longtime friends ended up in jail in central Florida thanks to a "bucket list" that included stealing from a store.

Police say 36-year-old Andrea Mobley and 38-year-old Jennifer Morrow face petty theft charges after stealing bathing suits and beef jerky during a trip to Wal-Mart.

A loss prevention officer told police Mobley was eating beef jerky in the store and Morrow concealed items inside her purse. They were detained after taking the items from the store without paying.

The women told police they hadn't seen each other in years and stealing from a retail store was on the "bucket list."

Mobley said they were just "two stupid women" doing something they'd never done before. She added she's ashamed.

If she wants to do something she's never done before and feel ashamed about it I'm sure I could think of something that doesn't involve petty larceny.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Grandmother arrested after police find drugs in wheelchair --*
NEW YORK - A 58-year-old Boston grandmother has been arrested for allegedly attempting to smuggle drugs into the United States in her wheelchair, New York officials say. Federal officers stopped Fior Daliza Garcia after her JetBlue flight from the Dominican Republic landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport, the New York Daily News reported Thursday. Customs and Border Protection officers said Garcia appeared nervous during a check Wednesday and her wheelchair appeared "unusually heavy and flimsy." An inspection found heroin and cocaine hidden in the "body" of the wheelchair. Officers said Garcia told them she was going to be paid $12,000 to smuggle the drugs.


*-- Boy finds $10,000 in hotel room drawer --*
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Staying in a Kansas City, Mo., hotel, Tyler Schaefer, 10, opened a drawer in his hotel room and found $10,000, he said. "He looks for stuff at random. He's very observant," his father, Cody Schaefer, said. After the two checked into the room Saturday, Tyler methodically began opening drawers and found the neatly stacked cash. "We need to call the cops," the father told the son. They found two off-duty police officers, working at the hotel, who summoned Sgt. Randy Francis, a property and evidence supervisor, who stored the cash at a police facility, the Kansas City Star, reported Friday. Missouri law says lost money can revert to the finder after about seven months. Cody Schaefer lives in South Dakota and meets his ex-wife annually in Kansas City, a central meeting point between their homes, to provide their three children a summer vacation, the newspaper said. He said he told several friends and relatives about his son's find, and most agreed his son did the right thing. "I didn't come there with $10,000 and I didn't leave with $10,000, so it was a wash," he said.


*-- READER COMMENTS --*
Hi Lewis, I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that the reader comments section is really the highlight. Some of the bizarre news items are pretty good. But for the most part, for me at least, the purpose of the bizarre news items is to spark the reader comments. Now those are the real treasures, especially your replies. You have such wit and wisdom. Nice job! -Dean
[Thanks Dean. I'm sorry I don't have a wise and witty response to your comment, but you seem to have said it all!]

Hey Lewis- I often have bizarre thoughts, like would it screw with you if I put the end of my comments in brackets to make it look like you wrote it? [Look everybody, I'm Lewis!]
[Not quite the right delivery. It's more like... "Look, everybody, I'm Lewis!" See.]

Want to start some bizarre scenes in offices next week? While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction! --Donna
[This is already too complicated for me. I'll see if I can get TZ to do it. He's used to doing stupid, pointless things, he should have no problem with this.]
