Police say the emergency brake came loose while the farmer was in the store, and the tractor and its two trailers barreled 30 yards downhill before slamming into the parked car and crushing it against a wall.
Police in the western German village of Viersen said that the car was a "total loss." The tractor and trailers, however, emerged unscathed.

Two hours after the theft, sheriff's deputies said they found the truck and ATM. Police said all the machine's money remained inside - the thieves weren't able to open it. "No cash was taken."

Funny how upset people get when they see a chicken head in their bag of food. Not like it's going to make them sick.

WHere I come from, they eat every bit of the chicken. Chicken butt ends, chicken bum holes (true story), and even chicken feet. Heads, not so much, but when people get poor, they just pluck the bird, cook and eat.
