Sauce and pickle attack- and more...

We are not proud of our crime beat, but however, as we say, odd news of crime keeps on coming. so here is more:

Authorities said a homeless man claimed to be the devil and attacked another man outside a Port St. Lucie convenience store. The victim told police that the 53-year-old man approached him early Monday morning and began speaking with him. After a few minutes, the man shouted, "I am the Devil and I am going to kill you."

A report said the suspect jammed his thumbs into the man's eyes, which made them bleed.

And this is straight out of Keystone Kops:

"After his girlfriend abandoned him in a night club, the 23-year-old driver, who doesn't own a license, commandeered the vehicle to make his way home," a police spokesman said on Monday.

Six police cars began trailing the tractor, which was chugging along at 20 km (12 miles) an hour, after they were alerted to the theft at about 5 a.m. Saturday.

Officers tried holding up stop signs and directing pepper spray through the open window to bring the driver to a halt.

They then tried unsuccessfully to end his getaway by throwing nail belts on the road, but the tractor's tires proved too thick, said the police spokesman.

The 40-minute chase finally came to an end when officers shot at the tractor's tires after it rammed into a police car and collided with another vehicle.

By some synchronicity, these news all involve transportation; and here is one more-

An Illinois woman told police her car was covered in barbecue sauce and pickles on two consecutive nights.

Police suspect that the sauce and pickle attacks are the handiwork of a woman who is interested in the victim's boyfriend.

And finally, some people feel guilty for the most trivial of crimes, like this man:

It's a case of thief's remorse — more than three decades later. A man who said he stole a stop sign 35 years ago from a Salt Lake County road has mailed a $600 cashier's check — bearing an illegible signature — to the Utah Department of Transportation.

The amount this man has sent will almost cover the cost and installation of three stop signs. It is good that he could do something to repair a mistake, but not all have that chance- you can't give life to a dead man, or unpaint a Mona Lisa with moustache. Don't try that.
