Disappearing in a Cloud of Smoke

A Florida man showed up at a convenience store to apologize for stealing a carton of cigarettes a few days before, even though he knew he would never get caught – because he was invisible.

The man, whose name was not released, said that he was able to simply walk out of the Walgreens location because he'd done a significant amount of "street drugs" that rendered him invisible. Because of that, he was able to walk directly through the counter separating the cashier from the customers and take a carton of Kool menthols without being detected.

The man said he wanted to pay for the smokes, which were valued at about $60, but had just eight bucks on his debit card. He was issued a warning for trespassing and escorted out of the store. (TC Palm)

Big Stink Over Church Pew

A Utah man was arrested after he insisted on getting a seat saved while getting his soul saved – and starting a brawl in church as a result.

Wayne Dodge settled into a pew reserved for a family that doesn't normally attend services at this particular Mormon house of worship, but ran into trouble when they turned up to claim their seats. An argument started inside the temple, and spilled out into the parking lot, where it became physical. When the other man walked away, Dodge hopped into his car and ran him down, inflicting minor injuries.

The presiding bishop called the incident a "teaching moment," with Dodge in line for a valuable lesson – five years behind bars if convicted of aggravated assault. (Huffington Post)

Overly Organized Crime

A member of an organized crime ring in New York City found out he was a little too organized – after being busted when cops found a "to do" list in his handwriting that included a plan to rob a bank.

Kevin Patrick Smith, a soldier in the Westies gang, was planning to pull a bank heist in a small town north of the city, but didn't realize that one of his supposed accomplices was actually an FBI informant. When the plan was in place, the snitch notified authorities, who swooped in to search Smith's apartment – where they found evidence, including the list that ended with "rob bank."

Smith was arrested after arranging a two-hour cab ride to the bank in question, which would have cost him about $500 of the haul he planned to come away with. (New York Post)
