Now you can tell a person that he or she stinks — without losing a friend.

A Canadian family that hadn’t even realized their home had been robbed was surprised to get all the loot back the next day — along with an apology.
When the Guelph, Ontario, family returned from a short trip, they didn’t notice a screen door had been cut and an Xbox and digital camera were missing.
The next morning, a plastic bag was on the front door containing the electronics, $50 to fix the door and the anonymous note saying, “I have been having a very hard time financially lately and I made the worst mistake of my life.’’

An Australian kitty being chased through a back yard by a dog didn’t stop when he came to a pool — he jumped on a surfboard floating in it and got away.
The video of the great escape has attracted more than 100,000 views.
