Burglar caught on video trying on woman’s panties
A man says his girlfriend is very scared after surveillance video captured a stranger breaking into their home and putting on a pair of her panties over his jeans.
The unidentified burglar is seen on hidden camera climbing through the window of the Chicago home at about 12:45am on September 25. Rather than steal anything, the man looks at his phone, before looking at framed photographs and trying on a pair of panties.
Homeowner Steve Fremond said he had only heard rumours of bizarre burglaries in the neighbourhood before his own home was broken into. "It would've been difficult for me to prove it if I didn't catch it on camera," he said. "The guy didn't take any valuables that we know of."

Mr Fremond said without the video he probably would not have known the break-in happened. "My initial reaction to seeing it was mostly disbelief but once it sank in I was a little scared," he said. "My girlfriend was very scared though. If you look towards the end of the video you could see him take the picture of her off of the table." Mr Fremond has passed the video on to police but no arrests have yet been made.

Moth infestation in home blamed on dog food
A couple from Chandler, Arizona, have a moth infestation at their home and they are blaming it on their dog food.
Joseph Bochenek wanted to buy the best for his puppy, Akita. He was told Purina Pro Plan was the best, so he bought two bags. But three weeks later, as he was watching TV, he could sense he wasn't alone.
"When it was dark, they'd fly at you, fly around you. As soon as you turn the light on to see what they were, they disappeared," Bochenek said. A swarm of moths was invading the Bochenek's home. But he couldn't figure out where these little pests were coming from. Then, when he opened a brand new bag of dog food, he found a nightmare. Bochenek paid a pest company to fog his whole house.
Now, hundreds of dollars later - fogging and food included - he wants someone to pay up and others to learn from his own experience. "If they have flying bugs, they should check it out and make sure it's not coming from their dog food because we had no idea," Bochenek said. PetSmart said: At PetSmart, we strive to provide the best quality products for our pets and pet parents, and we will work with this pet parent to provide appropriate pest control services for their house.
Purina said: At Purina, product quality is our top priority, and there are no quality issues with our products. We make our products with strict quality controls and at temperatures that would prevent pests such as meal moths. Food products containing grain (including pet foods, flour, cereal and cake mixes) can occasionally have pests gain entry after the products are manufactured. Pests such as meal moths would not be expected to cause any pet health problems. We have been in contact with this consumer and are working to understand their situation and resolve any concerns.

Intoxicated lady arrested during naked drive with three-year-old son sitting on her lap
A woman from Corpus Christi, Texas, is facing criminal charges after drinking and driving in the nude with her 3-year-old son sitting on her lap.
At around 5:30am on Sunday a witness told police she saw a woman standing next to a car, take off her clothes, get inside and drive away.
Police pursued the car and soon caught up with the woman. As officers approached her car, they discovered that she was indeed driving while naked, with her 3-year-old child sitting in her lap.
28-year-old Lyndsey Baker was arrested for driving while intoxicated. The child was taken to his father.

Arrested couple had sex in back seat of police car
A 33-year-old man and 29-year-old woman had sex in a squad car after being pulled over for drunken driving in Oconto County, Wisconsin.
Travis Husnik of Luxemburg and Heather Basten of New Franken were being transported in August to the Oconto County Jail when they started having sex in a squad car. The deputy stopped the car, told Husnik to pull his pants back up, then put Husnik in the front seat.
Husnik was charged with lewd and lascivious behaviour and disorderly conduct in connection to the Aug. 3 incident. The same charges were filed against Basten, who was driving the car which was stopped by a deputy just north of Gillett.
"What do I sentence a guy who has sex in squad car to?" asked County Circuit Court Judge Jay Conley during the recent sentencing in the case. "I'm getting to be pretty old guy and I've never seen that situation in my legal life. It's not like you have a lot of law school courses or training on what do you sentence a guy who has sex in a squad car to." Assistant District Attorney Robert Mraz said: "You would hope people would have more self-respect for themselves, and have a better character than to do this behaviour in the manner in which this defendant and his female friend did."
"This is kind of … it's a little disgusting to have another person watching (others) engage in sexual relations the way the defendant and his female companion did." "We're in complete agreement with the state that this was completely unacceptable behavior," said Husnik's attorney, Timothy O'Connell. Conley said because the case was "so unusual and so outlandish," he was pondering the sentence until he looked over Husnik's criminal history through court records. Conley said he found 19 convictions, with four felonies, including one for battery to law enforcement in Brown County, and three resisting or obstructing officer convictions.
"This is probably the least offensive thing that you did to law enforcement," Conley said. "At a minimum, the mildest word that I can think of, the most favourable word I can think of, is your conduct is completely disrespectful to the officer," he added. "The process of being arrested is supposed to be somewhat unpleasant ... and you end up having a tryst. Incredible." Husnik, a convicted felon with a lengthy charge sheet, was sentenced to 90 days in jail for lewd and lascivious conduct. Basten, who pleaded guilty to drunk driving and disorderly conduct, was sentenced to 48 days in custody and given fines and fees totalling $1,236.

Vandals destroyed home using wrecking ball
A home in Tasmania, Australia, has been flattened by vandals with an excavator and a wrecking ball.
Between 11.30pm and midnight on Tuesday somebody climbed into the Lance and Jeanette Musgrave's rented excavator and took a wrecking ball to their property in Frankford.
The couple were already reeling from an apparently accidental house fire several weeks ago.
This had left standing the remnants of a home – two large sheds, manicured gardens, trees, fencing, a water tank, a sun room.
These were the foundations the Musgraves were using to rebuild their life on the hobby farm until Monday night’s bizarre incident. A shocked Mr Musgrave said the destruction would cost him $50,000 while police believe the totalled excavator - left dumped in a water tank- could cost twice that. ‘‘[The police] were in shock, they were actually in shock,’’ he said. ‘‘The person or persons responsible are out there in the community , the local community, and we’re horrified at that. How do you [continue]?’’
Mr Musgrave said he didn’t know what prompted the attack however he would be moving his livestock in case the culprit returned. The couple have been living there for nine years carrying out home improvements, growing vegetables and tending to livestock. Last month’s fire, deemed to have been caused by an electrical fault, gutted most of the home. Northern forensic police attended the property to inspect the excavator which had become entangled in wire fencing.

Northern CIB acting Inspector Ruth Orr said the placed looked like a ‘‘war zone’’. ‘‘It appears perhaps the person responsible knew what they were doing in terms of being able to operate an excavator to cause that amount of damage in a fairly short space of time,’’ she said. ‘‘It’d have to be something of a targeted plan.’’ Detectives are investigating the incident and have called for any witnesses or people with information to come forward. Detective Orr said the excavator would have been loud and an orange siren on its top would have been activated at the time.

Lonely man's unusual sexual advances landed him in court
A man's unusual approaches to women did not achieve his objective of finding a partner for sex, but they did land him in a New Zealand court.
Yoon Suk Choi, an unemployed 36-year-old, appeared in the Christchurch District Court on Thursday to plead guilty to a charge of obscene exposure and three charges of offensive language and behaviour.
He had an interpreter helping him in court for the appearance before Judge Patrick Treston, who remanded him on bail for sentencing on December 5. He asked for a report on Choi's suitability for home and community detention sentences. Police prosecutor Sergeant Neil Williams said that at about 11am on September 1, a woman saw Choi inside the women's public toilets below the ramp leading to the New Brighton Pier. He was standing there masturbating.
The shocked woman asked if he knew he was inside the women's toilets, and when he said he was, the woman ran out. An hour later, another woman saw Choi standing outside the entrance to the women's toilet at Waimairi Beach. He asked the woman if she could take him into the women's toilet for "a hand job". The women was worried about her safety and ran to her car where she pretended to use her cellphone. Choi drove off in his car. Thirty-five minutes later he stopped the car beside a woman who was walking along Marine Parade. He asked for her to get in the car and show him the way to the women's toilets.
When she refused, he asked her twice for her underwear. The fourth incident took place two days later when a Hei Hei woman who was mowing her lawn saw him stop his car in the middle of the road. When he had been sitting the car awhile, she became concerned and asked if her was looking for someone. He asked her directions to the ladies' toilets and she suggested he try a nearby park, but he then asked her for her underwear. Sergeant Williams told the court: "In explanation for his behaviour, the defendant said that he was lonely and he was looking for a female to hopefully have sex with."

Thai traffic police offered cash to turn down bribes
Thailand's traffic policemen will get money in return for refusing bribes, police said on Thursday, part of the junta's efforts to combat what it has called an ingrained culture of corruption within the force.
The army seized power in May after months of protests aimed at ousting Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Thailand's first female prime minister, saying it needed to restore order after nearly 30 people were killed in sporadic political violence.
Since then, the military government has launched campaigns aimed at cleaning up Thailand's image as a haven for vice.
The junta has clamped down on taxi gangs at airports, targeted drug users by ordering more police checks and has even vowed to curb bad behaviour among Buddhist monks to protect the image of the religion in the predominantly Buddhist country. "This monetary incentive will encourage officers to look out for traffic violators who try to bribe," said Police Major General Adul Narongsak, deputy chief of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, adding that two policemen were recently awarded 10,000 baht (£190, $310) for refusing a 100 baht (£1.90, $3) bribe.
The junta has set about restructuring the police force and ridding it of a "bribes for jobs" culture, a main demand of the protesters who helped trigger Yingluck's ouster. It wants to depoliticise a force that has been closely associated with Yingluck's brother, former premier Thaksin Shinawatra who was ousted in a 2006 coup but remains the country's most influential politician. Thaksin is a former police officer and placed allies in the most powerful positions in the force. He fled Thailand in 2008 to avoid a jail term for graft and has lived in exile abroad since. Thailand has been divided for nearly a decade between Thaksin's allies and his critics.
Thai police salaries start at about 6,000 baht (£115, $185) a month, according to 2013 data, well below the national average. For motorists in Bangkok, where traffic snarl-ups are among the world's worst, slipping a policeman a banknote or two when stopped for a minor traffic offence is not uncommon. But motorists might soon find their offers being turned down. "We want to change perceptions and practices and to reward those who show that they are clean," said Adul. And for those policemen who might still be tempted by a backhander? "We encourage people to take photographs as evidence," Adul said. Thailand was ranked 102 out of 177 countries in Transparency International's 2013 Corruption Perceptions Index.

Bear unhappy about being shot in the backside took revenge by destroying hunter's car
A Russian hunter who shot and wounded a bear in the backside returned to his car hours later after failing to find the injured beast to discover it had been completely wrecked by the wounded animal.
The hunter and two friends had been in a forest in central Russia's Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug region when he got the bear in his sights and fired a single shot.
But the bullet only wounded the bear after hitting it in the rear, and it quickly ran off before the hunter could kill it with a second shot. Because the animal was wounded the men spent several hours trying to find it to finish it off. They gave up after deciding that it could not have been too badly wounded as it had managed to quickly exit the scene, and there was not even a trail of blood to follow.
But they were able to pick up the trail again when they returned to the man's car, to find that the vehicle had been completely trashed by the angry bear. It had not only dented and scratched the bodywork but had broken lights, smashed the windscreen, torn out the interior and ripped off the rear bumper.

Interestingly two other cars belonging to the man's friends that were parked next to it were left untouched. The fact that the bear had carried out the revenge attack was clear from the paw prints in the mud, sparking speculation among the three that the bear realised the car owner was the one that shot him. The Russian Interior Ministry for KhMAO confirmed the attack and a police report was filed.
