Authorities in Virginia say a man used a cell phone to record himself stealing iPods and charity money from a Sears store.

The man had a T-shirt over his head, and he recorded himself stealing nine iPods and two jugs of Heroes at Home donations for needy military families. He is supposed to have sent the video of himself committing the crime to his ex-girlfriend after giving her one of the iPods as a gift. Police recovered iPod cases, wires and two big blue plastic jugs filled with $18.49 in change from a garage belonging to a friend of the burglar.
Convicting someone for burglary is right, but can you do that for drinking a cough syrup?- Old news from red Orbit.
A former Santa Clara County judge was jailed for drinking over-the-counter cough medicine while serving his house arrest sentence.
Judge William Danser, who was convicted for fixing traffic tickets last year, was required to stay away from alcohol as a condition of his 90-day electronic monitoring.
But on March 4, seven days before the end of his sentence, Danser took Nyquil, which contains so much alcohol that it was specifically prohibited unless he notified authorities, his attorney said.
On the day Danser took the medicine, a probation officer made a surprise 9:30 p.m. visit to his Saratoga home. Danser's wife told the officer her husband had a cold and was in bed. She was told to wake him up to provide a urine sample.
After test results showed traces of alcohol, Danser was ordered Wednesday to spend the rest of his sentence in jail.
I found that story when I went there to read this story:
A Michigan college student was sentenced to 180 days for what the judge described as the dumbest crime I've heard today -- stealing a computer from a jail.
William Bradley, 25, a student at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, was convicted of larceny after he took a computer that was delivered to the jail while he was serving a sentence for a separate case and concealed it behind some trash bins to be picked up later.

The judge had some friendly advice for Bradley-
"You need to get a handle on this theft thing. Your life of crime is not working out", the judge told Bradley, and Bradley could not deny that, "I'm not the best criminal", he admitted.
And speaking of crimes and courts, here is a man who just can't resist stealing:
Authorities in Florida said a man swiped a $1,000 watch from a courthouse security checkpoint and was arrested while awaiting a pretrial hearing.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said deputies scanned security camera footage of the metal detector checkpoint Monday at the Criminal Courts Complex in Largo after a man who entered the courthouse complained that his Wittnauer watch, worth $1,000, disappeared from the tray he placed it on for scanning.

The man was arrested released after posting $5,000 bail.
Be Very Happy.
