(AP) Police in Florida say a burglar who made off with a man’s valuables returned to the home later and snatched what he couldn’t carry on his first trip: a 100-pound plasma-screen TV.
A Pensacola Police investigator was on the scene when the robber came back hours after the first burglary.
The man who lived at the house, Steve Fluegge, says he was shocked the burglar came back and stole the television. The suspect had already stolen Fluegge’s wallet, watch and video game system.
Police and K-9 units canvassed the neighborhood, but couldn’t find the burglar or the TV.
Investigators had left the TV in the backyard, where the burglar put it, so they could dust for fingerprints.
Police have offered to pay for the TV.
Thief should go back a 3rd time and steal their clothes...
(AP) Police in Michigan say a first date went from bad to worse when a Detroit man skipped out on the restaurant bill, then stole his date’s car.
Police say 23-year-old Terrance Dejuan McCoy had dinner with a woman April 24 at Buffalo Wild Wings in the Detroit suburb of Ferndale. The woman says the two met a week earlier at a Detroit casino and she knew McCoy only as “Chris.”
The woman told police that McCoy said he left his wallet in her car and asked for keys. He then sped away in the 2000 Chevrolet Impala.
The Daily Tribune of Royal Oak reports that police identified McCoy by a photo he’d sent to the woman’s cell phone, and his phone number.
McCoy is charged with unlawfully taking the car, a five-year felony. He waived a preliminary exam and was bound over for trial Thursday.
B.S. Report–You would have to figure that “walking the check” and stealing your date’s care has to rank pretty high on the negative scale of dating “dos and don’ts.”
Woman was looking for the real "McCoy"...she found him--he was a thief

Ingrid Bergman was a Swedish actress. She won three Academy Awards, two Emmy Awards, and the Tony Award for Best Actress in the first Tony Award ceremony in 1947. She is ranked as the fourth greatest female star of American cinema of all time by the American Film Institute. She is widely remembered for her performance as Ilsa Lund in Casablanca (1942).
Bergman, named after Princess Ingrid of Sweden, was born in Stockholm, Sweden on 29 August, 1915 to a Swedish father, Justus Samuel Bergman, and a German mother, Friedel Adler Bergman. When she was three years of age, her mother died. Her father died when she was thirteen. She was then sent to live with an aunt, who died of heart complications only six months later. Afterwards she was brought up by another aunt and uncle, who had five children.
At the age of 17, Bergman auditioned for and was accepted to the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm. During her first summer break, she was hired at a Swedish film studio, which consequently led to her leaving the Royal Dramatic Theatre to work in films full time, after having attended for only one year. Her first film role after leaving the Royal Dramatic Theatre was a small part in 1935′s Munkbrogreven (She had previously been an extra in the 1932 film Landskamp).
After a dozen films in Sweden (including En kvinnas ansikte, which would later be remade as A Woman’s Face with Joan Crawford) and one in Germany, Die vier Gesellen (1938), Bergman was signed by Hollywood producer David O. Selznick to star in the 1939 English language remake of her 1936 Swedish language film, Intermezzo.
According to Bergman’s A&E Biography, Selznick suggested she change her name, have her teeth capped, and her eyebrows plucked, but Ingrid was having none of it. Taken aback by her reply, Selznick changed his mind, allowing Ingrid to keep all her real features and her real name. Intermezzo was an enormous success and Bergman became a star, described as “Sweden’s illustrious gift to Hollywood”. Some things that set her apart from other female stars in Hollywood at that time were that she did not change her name, her appearance was entirely natural with little or no makeup, and that she was one of the tallest leading ladies.
After completing one last film in Sweden and appearing in three moderately successful films (which included Adam Had Four Sons, Rage in Heaven and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde) in the United States, Bergman joined Humphrey Bogart in the 1942 classic film Casablanca, which remains her best-known role. Bergman did not consider Casablanca to be one of her favorite performances. “I made so many films which were more important, but the only one people ever want to talk about is that one with Bogart.” About Bogart, she said “I never really knew him. I kissed him, but I didn’t know him.”
That same year, Bergman received her first Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943), which was also her first color film. The following year, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for Gaslight (1944). After losing to Ingrid Bergman for the 1944 Best Actress Academy Award, Barbara Stanwyck told the press she was a “member of The Ingrid Bergman Fan Club,” declaring, “I don’t feel at all bad about the Award because my favorite actress won it and has earned it by all her performances.” Bergman received a third consecutive nomination for Best Actress with her performance as a nun in The Bells of St. Mary’s (1945). Bergman had been considered for the role of Mother Maria-Veronica in 1944′s The Keys of the Kingdom, but the part ultimately went to Rose Stradner, who was then the wife of the film’s producer, Joseph Mankiewicz.
