They should book this guy – for a circus act.
Cops in Seattle, Wash., picked up Shawn Gulseth on a stolen-car rap, cuffed his hands behind his back, and then left him in the rear of their patrol car while they interviewed witnesses.
Gulseth maneuvered his cuffed hands in front of himself, opened the partition between the front and rear seats, climbed through it into the driver’s seat and took off – after punching a cop who tried to stop him.
The hapless Houdini was caught when he crashed the cop car.

They got milk – and got caught!
Two students in Lansdale, Pa., were busted for adding bananas, pickles, butter and clam chowder to the milk in their high-school cafeteria and then resealing the cartons and putting them back on the shelves for others to buy.
School administrators refused to say what action they plan to take against the pranksters.
How about a taste of their own medicine – or, in this case, milk?

A dog may be man’s best friend – but not necessarily a policeman’s.
A cop in Fremont, Calif., escorting a teenager home after a traffic stop, was attacked by five ankle-biting Chihuahuas that escaped from the boy’s home.

In another item from the Fremont police blotter, a woman reported that she woke up in the middle of the night to find a stranger in her house – typing away at her computer.
After the intruder fled, she checked and found that the mysterious visitor had left something behind on her computer – a pornographic screensaver.

Sharon Tendler, an eccentric British millionairess, got “married” in the Israeli resort city of Eilat, where she first met her beloved – a bottlenose dolphin – 15 years ago.
Wearing a white silk dress and pink tiara, Tendler, 41, walked down the dock at the dolphin reef and knelt down before her groom, who swam to the side of his enclosure.
After an exchange of kisses, the “marriage” was sealed with some mackerels before Tendler was tossed into the water by friends to swim with her dolphin dearest.
