Smash and get a crane
A new twist on the old fashion smash-and-grab, thieves broke into Attleboro, MA jewelry maker
EA Dion, Inc. and stole approximately $2 million dollars worth of jewelry and metals were stolen, which included Super Bowl rings for the Giants. Police say thieves disabled the alarm system at E.A. Dion’s building, cut a hole in the roof and made off with a safe that weighed at least 1,000 pounds and containing gold, gems and the rings.
Did they use a crane to pull that safe through the roof? I mean I saw the Italian Job and at least those guys let it fall into the river, which looked cooler that it probably really is. Plus where are these guys going to fence a bunch of Superbowl rings? Ebay? I can see the posting now... 2008 Giant's Superbowl Ring, never worn, slightly charded from cutting the safe open, action starts at $100.

A really "happy" meal
On Monday the 21st in a Chicago suburb, a dad takes his three children through a McDonald's drive-through and he order a Happy Meals of each. To his 8-year-old daughter's surprise, she got not only her happy meal but a lighter, pipe, and bag of marijuana. Apparently a 17-year-old fast-food employee, who is facing drug charges, was hiding his marijuana in a Happy Meal that ended up with a young child.
Note to self - if I am going to take up an illegal drug habit, do not bring it to work and DO NOT hide it in bags, boxes or other containers that I might be handing out to customers [that's just dumb].
What was equally disturbing was the mother's reaction to her daughter telling her that she found a lighter in her Happy Meal, she said "Go tell your father". I maybe wrong here but if an 8-year old finds an object other than what was expected in a Happy Meal, I would think a parent would want to make a close inspection immediately and if that object happens to be some that is dangerous [and I happen to think something that can severely injure a child and/or burn down your home would classify as dangerous] then this would require the highest level of attention. Luckily the father made a closer inspection and took the drugs from his daughter and contacted the police. Good job Dad, hope you get a nice gift for father's day.
Happy Friday and make sure to order the Happy Meal with the built in munches next time your at the Mickey D's drive through, I heard it's real popular with the children these days.
