Would you call 911 if you lost your remote control? Someone did. Before we load up the shame cannon and rain scorn down upon this poor sap, I feel like we need the answer to a question that goes unanswered here. What was he stuck watching? If there’s an acceptable reason why the little buttons …

And The Award For New Dumbest Fraud That Apparently Actually Works Goes To…
I’m struggling to figure out how this scam works. Not because of its extreme level of sophistication or anything like that, but because try as I might, I can’t imagine a scenario in which even as a naive high school student I could manage to be this much of a maroon. City police fraud detectives …

I Bring This Stuff Everywhere. You Can Never Be Too Careful With So Many Thieves Around
Rare is the day when I actively hope that a person is homeless, but today is that day. Because if this woman wasn’t, what was she thinki…never mind. I really ought to know better than this by now. A 23-year-old Guelph woman has been charged after police say she brought several bags of stolen property …
Excellent! It’s The Not Getting Away Car, Right On Schedule
Old story is old, but ones like it rarely fail to amuse me to some degree and it’s been a slow couple of days round these parts, so here we are. LaSalle police had an easy arrest Monday at Windsor Crossings Premium Outlets after an alleged shoplifter mistakenly got into their unmarked police vehicle. Officers responded …

People Are Putting Masks In The Microwave? People Are Putting Masks In The Microwave
I would very much like to tell you all that I am surprised to learn that people have been accidentally setting fires by putting their masks in the microwave to sterilize them, but that would be a lie. What does surprise me, however, is that the sort of person who would do a thing like …
Use Your Imagination Is Very Good Advice
If the police pull you over, end up searching your vehicle and finding a bunch of drugs, maybe trying to pin the stuff on some guy to whom you had recently given a ride and the vehicle’s real owner might seem like it’s worth a shot. But if you’re going to do that, be very …
Can We Just Build A Wall Around America And Be Done With It?
I know people don’t much like the word in this context anymore, but this is retarded. Completely and utterly fucking retarded. So retarded that actual retarded people would look at the person who would make a decision like it and say “what are you, retarded?” A federal judge has struck down Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf’s …

Stay Off The Phone
A couple items worth noting from the Record’s latest OPP Roundup. On Sept. 4 at 2:30 p.m., police saw a motorist using a cellphone while driving on Highway 401 in Thames Centre, near London. When they pulled over the car, police found $800,000 worth of dried, packaged cannabis and $130,000 in cash. A Toronto man, …
You’ll Be Fine. It’s Exaggerated, Remember?
I can’t imagine there not being a dumb lawsuit over this at some point, because that’s generally what happens when dumb people like Phillip Dupaul do dumb things and then have to face the possibility of perhaps facing the music. Dupaul is one of those guys who won’t wear a mask because the pandemic is …

More Education Is Needed
I have no idea whether or not Christina King was on anything that morning, but if she was, it clearly contained the slow release version of whatever the active ingredient in dumb is. How else to explain why she would take the time to steal a driver ed car and then use it to follow …
