Weird News

Thief tries to make things easy for police
Los Angeles  ----------------------------------- Authorities in Los Angeles are looking for a burglar who accidentally made a selfie with his victim's iPhone.
                                                                      Police say the thief entered a home in the Venice area through an unlocked door Saturday and grabbed the phone, but he accidentally activated a video app.
                                                                      The crook briefly recorded himself standing in the living room before he took off with the device.
                                                                      A woman and two 15-year-old girls sleeping in the house weren't hurt.
                                                                      The owner of the phone remotely accessed the video, and police have released it.
                                                                      Authorities say they don't know the crook's name, but they know what he looks like.
                                                                      They're hoping somebody else can put a name to the face.


He'roos  the day it snowed
Sydney ---------------------------------------- Kangaroos are a common sight for Australian vineyard owner Bill Shrapnel.  But a winter storm this week was the first time he'd seen a'roo in the snow.
                                                                    Shrapnel guesses about 30 of the "timid" and "watchful" creatures live on his 77-acre vineyard in the town of Orange, about 160 miles west of Sydney.
                                                                    But before he peeked out his back window, he had never seen one of the kangaroos in the snow.
                                                                    "They just turned up and started to feed.  The younger ones boxed with one another as if it was just another day."
                                                                    A surprised Shrapnel snapped a photo, which his daughter shared on social media.
                                                                    Shrapnel, 62, and his wife Jan moved to Orange earlier this year from Sydney, which hasn't snow since 1836.
                                                                     While the couple had prepared for their first winter, he says, "Having it snow three times in a week is not what we expected."
