Residents lived with 90-year-old's corpse on toilet for months
A man, woman and two teenage children apparently shared a house in Necedah Township, Wisconsin with a corpse for two months before authorities found the body. At least one of the adults in the house insisted the dead woman inside wasn't "fully dead," and that they could pray her back to life.
Earlier this week, sheriff's deputies in Juneau County, just east of Tomah, went to a home in Necedah Township to check on the welfare of 90 year old Magdeline Alvina Middlesworth, after the woman's sister reported she had not heard from her in some time. When deputies arrived, the woman who answered the door at first refused to let deputies check on Middlesworth.The woman, Tammy Lewis, finally relented, and allowed the deputy to search the house. He found Middlesworth's remains in a heap on what appeared to be a toilet. Police reports indicate the smell of decay was "overpowering." The deputy ordered Lewis to take both of her children, ages 12 and 15, out of the house, due to the smell.

Camera on stolen laptop helps owner catch thieves
A tech-savvy White Plains woman whose apartment was robbed solved the crime herself after she was able to log on to her stolen laptop, photograph one of the suspects with it and get photos of another, police said.
Edmon Shahikian, 23, of 13 Cobbling Rock Road, Katonah, and Ian Frias, 20, of 1609 E. 174th St., the Bronx, were picked up at their homes on Wednesday night after the victim turned the pictures over to police. The police said they recovered most of the $5,000 worth of electronics stolen in the burglary.
On Tuesday, police said, one of the victims, who works at The Apple Store in The Westchester mall, received a call from a friend asking her if she was online. The victim said no, and was told by the friend that his computer showed her as being logged onto the Internet.

Camera thief caught on tape
Garden Grove police said yesterday they are still searching for a man who was caught on surveillance footage stealing high-tech surveillance cameras.The thief stole four cameras from the outside of a commercial building housing REVCO Industries said Garden Grove police Lt. Dave Kivler.
Apparently it did not occur to the thief that the cameras were recording, Kivler said, adding that the man was probably attracted to the new and hi-tech nature of the devices. But he was correct in his assumptions that they would take very clear pictures, Kivler said.
The footage shows the man stealing each of the four cameras and captures him start to sweat from his labor and remove his jacket, Kivler said. He appears to favor his left hand, signaling that he could be left-handed, Kivler said.

Green puppy born in New Orleans
A puppy recently born in New Orleans, Louisiana is really standing out among his siblings, all because of his color. You could say this puppy is environmentally safe...he's green. The puppy was born last week and so far, he is perfectly healthy, just green. Veterinarians say this sometimes happens when the mother's amniotic fluid mixes with the placenta during birth and dyes the coat of the puppy. The puppy won't be green forever, veterinarians say in a few weeks, the green will fade away and the pup will be a light brown or white color.There's a news video here.

Naked stranger on toilet asks to 'finish business' before arrest
OCALA — Lisa Bess could not figure out why the front door to her home on West Silver Springs Boulevard was locked and the key was missing Tuesday afternoon. She couldn't figure out why her bathroom door was locked and water was running. She called the police.
When Ocala police officers kicked open the door to her bathroom at about 5 p.m., she had her answer: A man had found the extra key outside, let himself in, picked out a new outfit of her clothes to wear and took a long hot shower. They found him sitting naked on the bathroom toilet.
"There was still a stench of my body lotion; actually, water was still draining from the bathtub," Bess said. "And he was refusing to get off the toilet until he finished doing his business."
Police arrested a man who later identified himself as Tom Wilkerson, 57, for trespassing. Ocala police Sgt. Angy Scroble said the man also identified himself as Antonio Wilson.

Money thief, who hid cash up bottom, busted
A bank robber who secreted the $2000 proceeds inside his anus was given away when police heard rustling noises and found the loot, a court was told.
Michael Geoffrey Linn, 36, unemployed, pleaded guilty in Alexandra District Court yesterday to robbing the BNZ bank in Cromwell, The Southland Times reported.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Tom Scoullar said Linn walked into the bank last month, pulled a balaclava over his face and demanded money.
He then drove to a lake, and tried to burn the clothes he had been wearing, using petrol and some papers from his car. But nearby construction workers spotted the fire and used shovels to save some of the papers - which had Linn's name and address on them.
Linn was arrested a short time later and claimed he had given the cash to an associate.
But police became suspicious when they heard a rustling noise coming from his bottom.
On further investigation they discovered a roll of cash protruding from his anus.

Volvo dealer ordered to compensate buyer for unsuitable sale
A court has ordered a Volvo dealer to pay £1,350 to a customer whose feet are too big to use the accelerator on his new car.
The judge in the German town of Wiesloch said the manufacturer should have catered for Michael Herzog's size 12 feet.
He went to court complaining the area around the accelerator of his new Volvo C70 coupe was too small to accommodate his feet.
The court ruled his feet were not abnormally large and the judge said the dealer should give the German five per cent off the price of his new car.
It is not known whether Herzog was offered a test drive in the C70 before purchase.
Herzog obtained a £1,350 refund to pay for a specially made pair of shoes that allowed him to squeeze his foot into the space.
He was also compensated for the time spent changing back into street shoes each time he got out of the car to meet clients.
