The residents of a Texas border town are facing a stinky and growing problem these days: skunks. Eddie Ortega, the director of Del Rio's Community Health Service Center, said there's an unusually high number of the malodorous creatures running around these days.
"I'm not positive of the reasons behind this past year's infestation, but the heat and very little rain have probably caused them to be more active in order to find food."
The nocturnal animals are not all bad news: They keep rodents in check.

1,000 gallons of gas vanish from station
Police say someone has stolen more than 1,000 gallons of gasoline from a station in New York's Westchester County. Authorities said Thursday that the gas apparently was filched from five pumps sometime last weekend in Pelham Manor.
The station values its losses at $4,000 for the gas and $2,000 for damaged pumps. Police will be reviewing surveillance tapes of the station.
On July 15, workers at a convenience store in Lehigh Acres, Fla., reported the theft of 995 gallons of gas. Authorities said the pump was rigged so it didn't register with the attendant. The sheriff's office said there were no cameras on those pumps.

Couple Went on 18-Month Egging Spree
A suburban Philadelphia couple is accused of damaging the property of more than 400 people during an 18-month egging spree.
According to court documents, Philip Fleck and his girlfriend, Heather Darcy, admitted to the vandalism.
Police say the couple wanted to retaliate against friends for damages they said were inflicted upon them — but the couple also egged other people to draw suspicion away from them.
Police say Fleck and Darcy caused more than $7,000 in damages.
Letters have been sent to residents of Lansdale asking victims to come forward. Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman says her office has an obligation to get restitution for them.
Darcy's mother, Cindy Darcy, says the case is "being blown way out of proportion."

A man on a Greyhound bus traveling across the Canadian Prairies has killed and decapitated a fellow passenger.
Thirty-six passengers on a Greyhound bus watched in horror Wednesday night as a fellow passenger stabbed a man sleeping next to him, decapitated him and began waving around the man's severed head.
The bus made an emergency stop, and passengers fled in terror onto the darkening Trans-Canada Highway near Portage la Prairie, Man., while the bus's driver and a driver of a nearby truck shut the crazed man inside the bus with the victim. Passengers on the Winnipeg to Edmonton bus say they stood outside and watched through the window, horrified, as the man disfigured the victim's body.
Chilling Witness Account

You can see that the COPS were reacting to 'something' that happens off screen. The two Cops are just hanging out, talking, with cyclists riding around them. Then, BOTH Cops look toward the oncoming cyclists (as if they just witnessed something). They BOTH start to walk while watching the cyclist. It would appear that the cyclist did something 'off-screen', and kept riding, but the Cops stopped him.
