A reader spotted this littering at 3pm at the MIT carpark in Otara on Monday.
Rica comes in from the cold
John Lambdin was at his desk at a car yard in Greenlane on Monday about to lock up when this worried guy appears. "He asks if he can search the back of our car yard for his lost dog Rica. While he has little hope of finding her, he looks anyway. Meanwhile, I decide to have a look under the shrubs beside our garage. I was about to walk away when I saw two little black eyes staring back. One wet and cold Rica found alive and well."
Drat, foiled again
A thief attempted to rob a Subway restaurant in Olympia, Washington stuffing the loot into a bag with a large dollar sign drawn on it, like an old-timey cartoon thief. David Lingfelter reportedly entered the Subway wearing a white hat and a red bandana around his face, and held his hand in his pocket, pretending to have a gun. The 20-year-old then warned the cashier not to "do anything funny". He swiped US$100 ($132) and a female employee's cellphone, but was caught and is being held in the Thurston County jail, presumably awaiting delivery of a cake concealing a large file, which he will then use to escape.
