A postal worker in Mount Clemens, Michigan, had a bit of bad luck when he tried to pawn the gold he'd allegedly stolen from a parcel. The pawn shop's jeweller recognised the item as one he'd just posted. The postal worker couldn't have known, because the parcel had the jeweller's own name as the sender (rather than the pawn shop).
What are the chances?! Seems like crime doesn't pay!
No, the weird part isn't that he is fighting the citations. (Although, it's ambitious, I'll grant him that.)
To me, the weirdest part is that he was driving a sofa.
The second weirdest part is what he actually got into trouble for. Namely, the sofa was unregistered and the plates were expired. Are they suggesting that driving a sofa is quite alright, as long as it has current registration and numberplates? Seriously?
Poor Mr Wang and his family. At a family member's wake after a funeral, an apparent severe thunderstorm struck the house, blowing off half the roof and killing Wang Diange.
His family then arranged his own funeral, including a cremation, and were shocked as his body exploded in the furnace.
