thief

We've all heard the old jokes about the Irishman robbing the sperm bank by mistake, but it appears in this case that the sperm bank stolen from in this news item was indeed the actual target.

It's believed he was apprehended while trying to sell the 'samples'.

As far as I know of, there were no takers.

metal bridge
A 45 year old man has been arrested and charged with stealing a local bridge.

The 5 metre, metal bridge was located just south of Moscow and spanned a small river. In what the police called the 'bulkiest theft of the year', the man who was employed as a truck driver, used his company vehicle to transport the bridge, which he then chopped up and sold off as scrap metal.
