We visit Altoona, PA, where TV anchorman Brandon Brooks
> demonstrated for his viewers how to protect their homes
> from burglars. He used his own home to demonstrate...
> Double locks on doors, windows that will not open from the
> outside, burglar alarms... Now it appears that thieves
> were watching the program. They not only learned where the
> double locks were, but where the TV set was and the VCR
> and the furniture and other things. So a few nights later
> - while Brandon Brooks was on the air back at the studio -
> the thieves broke into his house and cleaned him out. That
> window that won't open from the outside? They smashed it.

> Police Chief Clifton Sullivan - Russell Springs, KY - got
> a call from a lady who wanted her bachelor neighbor
> arrested for indecent exposure The chief went to her house
> and witnessed for himself... The fact was that the man
> next door was in his bathroom shaving. 'But,' the chief
> said, 'with the bottom part of the man's bathroom window
> covered as it is, I cannot tell if the bottom part of the
> man is wearing anything or not.' 'But,' the woman said,
> 'Well, you just stand on this chair and stand on your
> tiptoes and you'll see!'

> Ed Ruffing reports in the Utica, NY, Observer-Dispatch.
> Burglars in suburban Marcy were carrying the TV set down
> the driveway when the next-door neighbor called out: 'Hey,
> are you going to fix her TV set?' And the burglars called
> back, 'Yes.' And the neighbor asked, 'Mine needs fixing,
> could you take it, too?' And the burglars said, 'Be glad
> to.' And they did.

> We visit Raleigh, NC, where a state cop stopped a drunken
> driver. While he was ticketing the man, there was a
> multicar accident on the other side of the divided
> highway. The highway patrolman told the drunk to wait. The
> patrolman went across the highway to sort out the
> accident. After awhile the drunk figured he'd waited long
> enough and he drove on home and told his wife that if
> anybody asked she should say he had been in bed with the
> flu all day. Within the hour, two state patrolmen appeared
> at the home of the drunken driver and asked to see him. He
> came from the bedroom wrapped in a robe and coughing and
> wheezing. The patrolman asked if he'd been drinking that
> evening and he said he'd been sick in bed. They apologized
> for bothering him and asked if they could take a look at
> his car. The drunk escorted them to the garage and inside
> was - a highway patrol car, the blue lights still
> flashing. Gee, names and actual places and everything.
