Weird but true
An environmentally correct bear stole a Prius and went on a joyride.
The bizarre crime took place in Pleasanton, Calif., when the animal broke into the vehicle, which was parked in Brian McCarthy’s driveway.
First he got stuck, then he got angry — ripping seats, biting the steering wheel and damaging the gear box, which put the car into neutral.
It rolled down the driveway, picked up speed and finally came to a stop against a neighbor’s porch.
The bear got out and escaped into the woods — where it undoubtedly spent some time hugging trees.

The trouble was, she, too, had had a few too many and also was busted.
“The moral is don’t drive to the police station if you’ve been drinking,’’ said Sgt. Dean Jantzen.

Why was this day different from every other day?
A synagogue in Philadelphia was evacuated when someone spotted a suspicious package resting against the front door.
Cops later said it contained only a Seder plate, which Jews use on Passover.
The rabbi said he believes the plate was meant as a donation to the congregation.

Their favorite kind of moo-sic is jazz.
