Robber returns for coffee
A man was arrested for robbing a Starbucks - when he returned two days later for a coffee.
The 42-year-old was wearing the same yellow gloves, red backpack and wire-rimmed glasses he allegedly wore during the robbery.
He fled after he was spotted by a detective who was in the shop quizzing staff about the raid in Boulder, Colorado.

The city council unanimously passed a law Monday that makes a second high-grass violation a fourth-degree misdemeanor carrying a fine of up to $250 and as many as 30 days in jail.
The previous law only made the first violation a minor misdemeanor, with a fine of up to $150 but no jail time. The new law is to take effect in 30 days.

Honest builders hand in £200,000 found hidden in hotel
Two builders found £200,000 cash stashed in an air vent at a city skyscraper - and handed it straight to the police. The Polish contractors stumbled across the fortune in an air-conditioning pipeline on the top floor of the 26-storey building. Police are now investigating the mysterious money and have searched a flat in the building.
A source close to the contractors who found the cash said: "The two lads were just going about their work and stumbled across the cash. No one knows how it got there but it seems pretty dodgy to me. Why would anyone leave that much cash in an air vent? The Poles called the police in straight away. It was very honest of them."

Men prefer being solo over a bad marriage
Bachelor Carl Weisman got fed up of being classified as a playboy, a loser or a commitment-phobe so he set out to find out exactly why he and a growing number of eligible men were steering clear of marriage.
Weisman, 49, conducted a survey of 1,533 heterosexual men to research a book aiming to give women an insight into why some smart, successful men opted to stay single -- and help lifelong bachelors understand why they are still the solo man at parties.
He concluded that most men were not afraid of marriage -- but they were afraid of a bad marriage.
"Men are 10 times more scared of marrying the wrong person than of never getting married at all,"

Australian surgeons cut 16 washers from penis
A man was operated on in Hornsby Hospital early today to remove 16 stainless steel washers from his penis.
Berowra Fire Rescue officers were called to alleviate the man from his awkward predicament at 3am. It was not clear how the situation arose. The man may well have thought long and hard about placing himself in the difficult situation. Fire Rescue Officers spent more than an hour unsuccessfully attempting to remove the washers, before the man was taken into an operating theatre about 4.30am. Surgeons took about 90 minutes to remove the washers using fire brigade equipment. A hospital spokesman said equipment normally used to remove rings from fingers was ineffective because of the thicker nature of the washers. The man was in a satisfactory condition. It is believed the only lasting damage may be to his pride.
