Beware of little conmen
A reader writes: "I was putting air in my tyres at the Pt Chevalier Mobil station, when a young boy wearing glasses (who seemed like a very nerdy, innocent type of kid), asked for a couple of dollars for a bus fare to his mate's in Kelston. He said he was getting away from home as his dad was beating up his mum. I suggested he call the police but he said he just wanted to get out till things cooled down. I felt sorry for him and gave him $5 and he left. After I had finished I saw him jump into the back of a car in the nearby Countdown carpark. Thinking this looked suspicious, I went over ... and there was his mother in the driver's seat, looking fine while her son was trying to hide in the back seat. To make things more interesting, she said she was deaf and couldn't understand me. The young boy gave my $5 back and said sorry with a bright red face. I told them to grow up and called the police with their rego number. Watch out for those innocent-looking schoolboys."
Strange but true
1. Emergency services were called to Medgar Evers College Preparatory School in Brooklyn after a hazardous smell was detected. It was later determined that someone had released Axe Body Spray in a full classroom. Eight students were taken to a hospital for treatment, although no serious injuries were reported.
