Small Bits of News You Didn’t Know you Needed

Car shows porn on dashboard display
A Canadian pizza delivery driver in Windsor, Ontario, says his car's wireless rear-view camera system shows pornography when he drives on a certain street.
Dikran Ohanyan, 52, who owns a pizzeria and also makes deliveries, bought the system about a year ago as a safety precaution during backing.
Two weeks ago, he said, he was delivering on a certain street when a pornographic movie appeared on his monitor. It faded away when he left the area, he said. A few days later it happened again on the same street while his twin sons were in the backseat but they didn't notice it, he said. Ohanyan said he was upset with the random availability of pornography.
Electronics specialists said it's likely someone on the street has a satellite dish hooked up to a transmitter and the television sets in the home are equipped with wireless receivers that operate on the same frequency as Ohanyan's monitor.

Why would you be upset about porn on your dashboard?
Was he upset at it being random and not full movies?

Female Robber Hits Three Banks in One Week
Police and the FBI say a female robber has hit three Ohio banks in one week — a rare short-term streak of robberies and even rarer for a woman criminal.
Authorities say the woman handed a note to a teller at a credit union in the Columbus area Thursday saying she had a gun and wanted a lot of cash.
Investigators say the same woman robbed two banks earlier in the week, both in the Columbus area.
FBI Special Agent Harry Trombitas says three bank robberies by the same person in a week is rare for anyone, male or female.
The FBI says only 6 percent of the more than 7,000 bank robberies reported nationally last year were committed by women.

Couple Gets Bag of Pot With Taco Order at Restaurant
A Colorado couple found an unusual topping on their order of tacos: a small bag of marijuana.
They discovered the drugs with their order from a Del Taco restaurant and called police, said Lakewood police spokesman Steve Davis.
Twenty-six-year-old Dennis Klermund, who police say waited on the husband when he picked up food faces charges of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Klermund initially denied any knowledge but admitted the bag was meant for a friend after a search dog found the more marijuana in a locker, police said.
