Weird but true
It’s poetic justice. Three teens, accused of robbing motorists stuck in the snow in Kansas City, Mo., were busted after their car, too, got stranded.

Forget about snakes on a plane — how about in your living room?
The lien holder on a foreclosed home in Rexburg, Idaho, hope a $66,000 discount can bring a buyer willing to overlook hundreds of snakes that have infested the place.
The property’s pre-snake estimated value was $175,000, but now Chase Bank is asking for just $109,000. The slithering squatters appear to be nonpoisonous garters.

This Bud — and trip to jail — is for you.
Cops in Tulsa, Okla., busted a 30-year-old man who walked out of a store without paying for a 30-can pack of Budweiser and then led officers on a slow-speed chase.
An officer spotted the Bud man in the store parking lot and told him to just pay for his brews. Instead, the man ran into his car and took off.

Frank Bise, 44, and Steven Dickinson, 52, were busted for allegedly trying to knock over a historic light pole in Pasadena to grab its brass lamp.
Brass lamps can fetch cash at recycling centers and scrap yards.

Think of it as a 40-percent tax.
A young stunner won the $500 first-place prize in a wet T-shirt contest in Broome, Australia. But this uplifting story has a scandalous ending.
It turns out the winner is only 16 and used her 18-year-old pal’s ID to illegally enter. The hotel was fined $1,000, the security company was hit for $400, and the 18-year-old ID provider got nailed for $200 — a sum hopefully picked up by her underage pal.
