No Clean Getaway Here -------------------
MANCHESTER, N.H. - Police in Manchester, N.H., arrested a
suburban man after he stole a street sweeper and took it
for a spin during the early morning hours. Michael Moran
of Bedford was also charged with drunk driving, the
Manchester Union Leader said Monday. The operator of the
street sweeper was using it to clean a parking garage when
he decided to take a break. Apparently the idle machine
was too much of a temptation for Moran who got on and
drove off. Police said Moran, 26, admitted taking the
street sweeper without permission and said it was a stupid
thing to do.
- Animal Rights Protest Means Cat-astrophe For Restaurant -
BEIJING - The Fangji Cat Meatball Restaurant in the Chinese
city of Shenzhen will no longer be serving cat meat after a
group of animal rights protesters barged into the business
wielding banner that said "cats and dogs are friends of
human beings." The demonstrators demanded the owner to free
any live cats on the premises, but there were none since
the owner had already moved them. However, some of the
demonstrators were distraught to find a skinned cat in the
fridge. "I cannot go on with my business, and I will not
sell cat meat any more," the restaurant owner was quoted as
saying.

WEST VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Goldilocks and the Three
Bears sort of came to life when a woman came home to discover
a bear in her kitchen munching on oatmeal. The bear came
through an open sliding glass door looking for a meal, and
found the container of oatmeal. "It sounds like a nursery
rhyme, doesn't it?" West Vancouver police Sgt. Paul Skelton
said. "At least we have a health-conscious bear on our
hands." The bear wouldn't move when police officers came to
the home, so they let him finish eating first. Once the bear
was done with its meal, it left the house and headed towards
a forested gully. "It ended the best it could," Skelton said.
