At the extreme left-hand of the bell curve
Shogo Takeda, 24, said he desperately needed a job at the elevator maintenance company in Yokohama at which he was interviewing (with the president) on November 10th.
But somehow could not resist taking the president's wallet from a bag when the president briefly left the room. Takeda had dropped off his resume beforehand and thus was quickly apprehended.
(Japan Times)
He didn't get the job.
Wait, you mean this is illegal?
A substitute teacher at Sandhills Middle School in Gaston, South Carolina, was charged with cruelty to children in December after she, exasperated, taped two kids to their desk chairs for misbehaving.
(The State)
The passing parade
In November, an arranged custody swap of a child, from one grandmother to another in a Walmart parking lot near Dallas, Texas, ended when both ladies pulled guns and started firing.
One granny was hit in the neck and the other arrested after she also fired at an off-duty officer trying to calm things down.
