An Iowa mortuary is giving people one last chance to have their name in lights.

Iles Funeral Home is posting death notices on five electronic billboards around Des Moines. The messages, which last eight seconds, flash the deceased’s name and picture and details about the service.

This is one honest thief.

Lonnie Pannell, of Rapid City, SD, robbed a bank and got away with $2,800, cops said.

He was arrested about a day later. When he was booked into jail, an officer filling out a form asked him for his occupation.

“Robbery,” he replied.

They didn’t need Sherlock Holmes to solve this mystery.

A clerk in a shoe store in the Belgian town of Maldegem called cops to complain about a bizarre robbery. One shoe had been stolen.

Police easily tracked down the suspect — a one-legged amputee.

A judge in Palermo, Italy, thought he was being lenient by sentencing Santo Gambino to house arrest for illegally dumping construction waste.

He was wrong.

After a couple of days, 30-year-old Gambino left home and begged for a jail sentence because he couldn’t stand his wife’s “nonstop nagging.”

The judge sent him back home, ordering him to “try to get along” with his wife.

Here’s a story to make your skin crawl.

A man has been busted in Norway for trying to smuggle two dozen snakes and geckos into the country by hiding them under his clothing.

The small, nonvenomous pythons were in stockings duct-taped to his abdomen. The geckos were in boxes taped to his thighs.

Cops found the reptiles after discovering a tarantula in one of the man’s bags after he got off a ferry from Denmark. Post Wire Services
