Thieves stole 38 pythons
LONDON - British police said on Monday they were hunting for thieves who broke into an apartment in northwest England and stole 38 Royal Python snakes. The non-venomous snakes, which included eight pregnant females, were taken from a house in St
Helens last week, police added. Two men were spotted leaving the scene carrying two sacks. "This is a large collection of snakes that the victim had been gathering for a while," said Det. Con. Neil Henry of Merseyside Police. According to a website for Royal Python keepers, www.theroyalpython.co.uk, the snakes grow to an average length of 4-5 feet (1.2-1.5 metres) and make great pets, as they have good temperaments and are easy to tame. Police said the snakes were "extremely unlikely to pose any threat to the public".

Man Stole Xmas Gift He Gave Neighbors
MARCH 17--A Minnesota man broke into a neighbor’s home to take back a set of knives he gave as a Christmas present because he believed the recipients “did not appreciate” the gift, police allege. According to cops, Alfred Joseph Guercio, 54, last Wednesday night forced his way into a neighboring residence in Burnsville, a city about 15 miles south of Minneapolis. Before bum-rushing the home, Guercio argued at the front door with a female resident “about the knife set,” according to a probable cause statement. Guercio, cops noted, was upset that the woman “did not appreciate the knife set and wanted it back. “After telling Guercio that she would retrieve the knives, the woman tried to close her door. Guercio, however, placed his foot in the door, rebuffing her several attempts to shut it. Guercio then allegedly pushed his way into the house, shoved the woman, and swiped the knife set.

The ad is no longer available online, apart from screen-shots on various news sites which show its text -- "On the eve of my 29th birthday I announce a contest named 'Leave your trace inside me'. My mother needs grandchildren to give them all the baby clothes she has been collecting. But nobody wants to marry me yet. So, if you are young, strong and healthy drop me a line."
Komleva, the one here in Ottawa, says she first discovered the mix-up accidentally. She had just posted a video to her new YouTube account discussing hair highlights when the followers and views took off like a rocket. “I thought -- wow, YouTube is great," she said. "Then I got a message saying the person would like to get me pregnant. “There were 3,000 such messages, she said, prompting Komleva to Google her name. She was shocked and a little intrigued by the results. There were dozens of stories, many using photos of her. Komleva said this seems to be because she has a much more prolific social media presence than the wannabe Russian momma
