Greetings fellow Bizarros:
As a general rule of thumb I am a subscriber to Gunnery
Sergeant Hartman's assertion that if it weren't for dick-
heads who left their footlockers unlocked, there wouldn't
be any thievery in this world. I'm paraphrasing, of course.
For example, when I fly I keep my wallet and my cash and
credit cards on my person at all times. And if there is
anything more valuable than a can of shaving cream in my
carry on bag I usually keep that between my feet. I'm just
not that trusting.
But apparently, a lot of people are just not like that. So
much so that one enterprising flight attendant has actually
been able to make a very good living relieving passengers
of their cash and valuables.
French police investigating thefts over several months on
flights between France and the Far East picked up the 47-
year old attendant identified as Lucie R. She is under
suspicion of stealing thousands of euros in cash, cards and
jewelry as passengers slept on long haul flights.
Police launched an investigation in January after about
4,000 euros ($5,170) was stolen from five passengers. The
robber took advantage of sleeping passengers, taking euros,
yen, and Swiss francs as well as watches, jewels, credit
cards and even check books!
"Her bank accounts showed an absurd gap between her life-
style and her declared income," one newspaper quoted a
police investigator as saying. Between that and the
travelers' checks, blank checks and bank card numbers police
found at her home, it seems like she had quite a little
cottage industry going.
Bizarrely,
Lewis

---------- Florida deputy spots pot plant at curb ----------
HOLIDAY, Fla. - Authorities in Florida said a woman arrest-
ed for allegedly growing a marijuana plant told deputies
she only kept the plant because it was "cute." The Pasco
County Sheriff's Office said a deputy passing by the
Holiday, Fla., home of Jacqueline Moore, 55, Tuesday
noticed a 2-foot-tall uprooted marijuana plant by the curb
and asked Moore about it, the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times
reported Thursday. Moore told the deputy she does not smoke
marijuana and she received the plant as a "baby plant" from
a neighbor a few months ago. The deputy quoted Moore as
saying she kept the plant because it was "cute" and she put
it on the curb with the trash because it was growing too
big. Moore was arrested and charged with cultivation of
marijuana. She was taken to the Land O'Lakes jail with bail
set at $2,000.

-------------- Smart phone, really dumb thief --------------
SAN FRANCISCO - Police in San Francisco said a mugger was
arrested after stealing an iPhone while it was being used
to demonstrate new GPS tracking software. David Kahn, chief
executive officer of Covia Labs, said he gave his iPhone
to an intern to walk around the block while he was demonst-
rating the real-time GPS tracking software Monday to potent-
ial clients at K/F Communications, the San Jose Mercury
News reported. "We kind of noticed while that was happen-
ing, boy, she was really starting to move pretty fast
and she wasn't heading back toward the place," he said.
"Moments later she comes bursting into the office and said
she'd just been mugged." Kahn said he used the software to
track the thief's movements while the intern called 911.
"It was pretty exciting to realize what was going on and
wondering if he had noticed," Kahn said. "Obviously if he
had turned off the phone, that would have been it." Police
said they recovered the phone and arrested Horatio Toure,
31, on suspicion of grand theft and possession of stolen
property about 9 minutes after the incident.

Hi Head Bizzaro, Great stuff, but what did happen to David
Carradine??? Keep up the good work. -Dan Morgan
[You don't read any news that you don't get out of Bizarre
News, do you? He killed himself masturbating. If you want
any more details I'm afraid you'll have to look them up
yourself.]
Lewis, RE: the New York Cops.. Bless their hearts.. NYC
government must be totally incompetent. Minimum force?
What's that, just twist their arm until they say UNCLE?
Down here in Texas the cops have Tasers.. and we still
manage to kill a few knuckleheads every year with those,
usually, they are really high on cocaine/crack/PCP etc.
and the electricity just puts their heart into overdrive,
and the families STILL sue the city...? Cops need all the
help they can get not more hindrances. -Corky D
I enjoy your email very much. I even get a laugh fairly
often. My father is 91 years old and gets lots of junk mail
every day wanting donations and some saying he has won a
lot of money......just send $20 or whatever. He believes
that he has won and my mother has to hide the checkbook to
keep him from wiping out there bank account. HOW CAN WE
STOP THESE UNSOLICITED MAILOUTS? Thanks.
[A lot of old-timers are like that. Scams have become a
lot more sophisticated than they were 30 or 40 years ago.]
Sorry Lewis, but New Hampshire has bragging rights for the
birthplace of the first American in space. On May 5, 1961,
Alan Shepard, Jr. completed a 15-minute sub-orbital flight
which made him the first American and the second person in
space.
[Thanks for the correction!]
