Man arrested for doing what he thinks ladies like
Hal Hamrick wanted to find a lady.
So the 48-year-old man did what ladies like.
Or, at least what he thought they like.
Hamrick walked around a shopping centre in Port St. Lucie, Florida, exposing himself “multiple times,” according to an arrest affidavit.
The incidents of exposure happened on Feb. 17 as Hamrick was spotted displaying his nether regions in front of Target in Southwest Village Parkway. A witness told Port St. Lucie police he saw a man in a Miami Heat shirt and athletic shorts exposing himself.
The man twice put his genitals out for view in front of Target, and once in front of Babies “R” Us. “Each time he attempted to use a trash receptacle as cover for the act,” an affidavit states. Hamrick told police he was “exposing himself for the ladies.”
“He wants to find a lady and they like it when he does that,” the affidavit states. It’s unclear whether any ladies who may have seen Hamrick’s display liked it when he did that. Hamrick, of Port St. Lucie, was arrested on an indecent exposure in public charge.

Million dollar house sold for $70,000 came with a catch
A North Dakota man got a good deal on a million dollar house, but with a catch.
Scott Adelman paid $70,000 for the 4,500-square-foot brick home in Fargo, but due to flood diversion work he has to move it out to nearby Horace.
This is no small task: four moving companies, dozens of people including police officers, electricians, sign experts, and a truck with 23 axles. "It's quite the project to just get it moved,” says Adelman.
Authorities helped by clearing the way for Adelman as crews move the 200-ton home. And, after some brick work, Adelman says it will be as good as new.
For plumbing, electrical, and a new foundation and brickwork, the timeline is 5 weeks for a crew of 15 workers. Adelman expects to sell the soon to be relocated five bedroom home for around $700,000.

Adult carers left five children and a kangaroo joey locked in hot car while they drank in pub
Police have broken into a car to rescue five children and a kangaroo joey while their adult carers were allegedly drinking inside a pub in central Australia.
The children were freed unharmed, but by the time police opened the car the joey had died.
Alice Springs Watch Commander Chris Wilson said passersby alerted officers to the children trapped inside the car about 1:30pm on Tuesday in the hotel's car park. The temperature in Alice Springs was hovering around 40 degrees Celsius at the time.
"It was alleged the children were playing roughly with the joey," Commander Wilson said. "Upon attendance, police located five children aged between two and 13 years who had been left in the car for over two hours. The children were checked by St John Ambulance staff while the two adults looking after the kids were located inside the licensed premises."
Commander Wilson said the children were not injured "but had they been left much longer, this event may have had a far worse ending". Police said the Department of Children and Families was conducting an investigation into the children's welfare. Animal Welfare staff were also called. Commander Wilson said the incident was a timely reminder that leaving children and animals in hot cars was not safe.

Special paint on walls bounces pee back at public urinators
The St. Pauli district of Hamburg in Germany welcomes 20 million loud, messy and heavy-drinking party guests every year. Now residents have discovered a method to fight back against public urination.
"It was a real annoyance that was growing and growing," St Pauli Interest Community (IG St Pauli) board member and owner of several local bars Uwe Christiansen said. "We wanted to bring people to reason." While researching ways to discourage “Wildpinkler” – “free pee-ers” – annoyed members of IG St Pauli came across a hydrophobic paint which literally makes water droplets bounce off.
That means that anyone hoping to relieve themselves in unorthodox locations around the neighbourhood must reckon with the risk of a soaking for their shoes and trousers. Now there are signs reading “Do not pee here! We'll pee back,” on specially-treated walls around the area. Although the paint has only been in place for a few days, Christiansen said that local people welcomed the new move.

"People were just tired of the peeing on walls, home entrances and playgrounds," Christiansen said. The group recommends that partygoers take extra care, as not all the walls they've painted are marked with signs. “Watch out! From now on, it's Peeback time,” said Julia Staron of IG St Pauli.

Huge stag rescued after getting antlers caught in electric fence
A red stag had to be rescued after it was spotted with an electric fence stuck on its head.
The animal was found with his antlers tangled in the fencing at Tuddenham Hall, in Suffolk, on Monday.
The RSPCA said the "frightened animal was frantically thrashing around the grounds", trailing the fencing behind him and trying to free himself. Four members of Suffolk's fire service held the deer down while he was cut free. He was uninjured.
Mark Thompson, the RSPCA's chief inspector, said the stag had become tangled in the fence as it struggled to remove it without help. "This stag was in a right fix, thrashing about the grounds," he said. "He was frantic to get himself free and even got himself stuck in some brambles at one stage. This was a really strong adult deer who was also frightened and panicked."
The fencing was attached to a nearby trailer to keep the stag stationary while the fire service helped cut him free. Mr Thompson said the deer was unhurt but "a little stressed". "He trotted away immediately, then stopped and sniffed the air before running off again into the wild," he said.

Woman named Pat left presents by cows that wandered into her home
A Guernsey woman was surprised to find two of her pet cows wandering around her house.
Pat Costen keeps the traditional island-bred cows in her garden and keeps her doors locked.
But after forgetting to lock a door, two cows made their way inside and left a trail of deposits in their wake.
Pat had got out of the shower and noticed a ”strange smell” wafting around her house. She peered over her bannisters and noticed a large cow pat on the carpet at the bottom of the stairs. She then spotted a set of hoof prints leading from the mess in the hall which led her to the culprits, two cows in her TV room.
The bovine intruders had wandered her corridors and negotiated a snooker table before ending up in her lounge. Pat, 70, keeps the two island-bred cows as pets and they live in a plastic hutch in her yard. But the cows, known as Five and Six, had trod mud and cow mess into her white carpets. Pat said: “I knew they could open the door but I forgot to lock it. They came in through the kitchen, along the corridor, round the snooker table and into the study where they scattered a pile of my papers.
“Then they made their way back along the corridor and into the small TV room where we found them. I only describe their route because, as they’d left a large cow pat and walked through it, it was clearly marked by their foot prints.” Pat said that despite the mess they left behind, cleaning up “wasn’t too difficult”. She said: “I just let their prints dry and vacuumed them up and sprayed. I sprayed just everywhere. They were just naughty boys and they were inquisitive. But they are lovely really.”

Angry ostrich detained by police
An angry ostrich had to be detained by police after it escaped from a farm in a Warwickshire village.
The bird, called Colin, had jumped a fence at Rotherhams Hill farm in Baddesley Ensor. A retired policeman spotted the 5ft 6ins bird just before 3:45pm on Tuesday.
The man claimed the bird was angry and had tried to bite his dog. Officers were called to Heanley Lane in the nearby village of Hurley and detained the bird in a field.
Pc Jamie Blood said the ostrich was reported missing on Monday. He said it was kept by the owners to keep foxes away from their chickens. "It's one of the more unusual incidents officers have dealt with recently," he said.
