-Lurid Crime Tales-
Teens found a Maserati with the keys inside. Then came tragedy, Florida deputies say
[Miami Herald] An illicit early morning joy ride ended in tragedy Sunday in Southwest Florida, an area still reeling from Hurricane Ian.

In a news briefing, in St. Petersburg, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said that three teen boys checking for unlocked cars, found a Maserati with the keys inside in a driveway, and took off.

Deputies in a patrolling chopper investigating an unrelated burglary nearby spotted the teens from above as they were entering the high-end Italian performance vehicle. They alerted a crew on the ground to a possible "theft-in-progress," according to a release.

#2  “These kids were on that bad path”

Well, 2 of 3 got straightened out.

#3  This is what happens when you’re an inexperienced driver, you’re out at 3:30 in the morning, driving at 80 mph and you lose it

The ACLU is responsible for taking down curfew laws across the country and is getting kids killed.

#4  Left the keys in it will be hell on any insurance claims the owner makes. And won't help his defense if the kids or their parents sue him either.

#5  The driver is recovering at a hospital.

Figures.

#6  I realize I'm an a$$hole, but I'm not seeing a tragedy. Everybody got what they came for.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
Walleye fishing tournament cheating scandal sees Jacob Runyan, partner Chase Cominsky disqualified from Cleveland event
[Cleveland.com] CLEVELAND, Ohio - Jacob Runyan of Cleveland and his tournament fishing partner, Chase Cominsky of Hermitage, Pa., had seemed to be the best walleye anglers to ever probe the big waters of Lake Erie for money-winning trophy walleye the last couple of years. That all stopped on Saturday afternoon when the pair weighed a limit of five walleye on a tournament stage perched in the parking lot of Gordon Park in the Cleveland Metroparks.

An elite field of 30 two-angler teams were competing on a windy day in the Lake Erie Walleye Trail Championship in Cleveland Harbor.

The string of walleye competition successes for Runyan and Cominsky were legendary, but this time Tournament Director Jason Fischer wanted to put his hands on the dead walleye in their weigh-in bag.

"I knew right away that something was very wrong with those walleye," said Fischer in a telephone interview.

One of the other tournament regulars said he’d been told by Runyan that the other competitors might as well go home, because Runyan and Cominsky could not be beat.

"When I felt something hard in the belly of their first fish, and their limit of five walleye seemed excessively heavy, at more than 33 pounds, for their length, I called for a fillet knife," said Fischer, who also works as law enforcement officer in the Cleveland area.

The first slice opened the body cavity, and with almost no prodding, Fisher’s video showed one of the big sinkers falling from the walleye’s body cavity.

"We’ve got weights in the fish!" Fischer announced to the crowd around the weigh-in stage, many with cell phone video cameras. A total of about 10 sinkers were ultimately removed from the five walleye.

#1  This happened in San Diego once some years ago when an angler tried to claim a world record largemouth bass.

#2  No trophy or prize, just a real good time on the barge, fishing for Walleye on the Mississippi.
