Oh Sheeeet! Not again
In another daring caper, thieves made off with 160 boxes of cupcakes stolen from a warehouse in Malaysia last night. They escaped on a sledge pulled by 8 reindeer and then vanished into thin air. This was the tenth time in as many months that this warehouse was plundered.
The owner of the warehouse, a well-known Malaysian cupcake producer whose name may not be mentioned due to the CS ban on ads, said that the cupcakes were insured, but her six Dobermans are very ashamed and depressed for failing her once again after being doped. She said that they will recover fully but to restore their confidence, they will probably need counseling which will cost an arm and a leg.
General Electric, the spokesman for Interpol, said that they suspect it was the work of an international syndicate with roots in the US and South Africa. He also said that they are investigating reports that a female Indonesian national was seen feeding the reindeer at a truck stop somewhere in the middle East. He added that their only lead was that the one villain was addressed as Jim by his accomplice. The other one remains an enigma.
General Electric asked that anybody who notices a sledge, eight reindeer, two men and a woman, heading west, to report it to the nearest police station, and cautioned the public not to approach these villains if they are encountered. He said that there is nothing gentle about the one named Jim. He could be dangerous as he showed in their archives dressed in a Special Forces uniform full of medals.
The case took a new twist when an unnamed eye-witness with a broad South African accent testified that the woman was only hitching a ride to South Africa and not involved in the crime. He also suggested that Interpol should take a closer look at the owner as this could be an insurance scam. He (the eye-witness) has since vanished.
We have just learned that Santa Claus reported the theft of a sledge and 10 reindeer. In their hurry to get away, the thieves left a gummy bag with a Special Forces uniform behind. A police spokesman denied the possibility of the two cases being related as the numbers of reindeer do not correspond. The US government denied any knowledge of the theft and blamed it to Islamic extremists.
There is no truth in these rumors going around that I may have been involved. I must deny these allegations and I distance myself from this incident. The police should rather have look at Santa Claus who reported 10 reindeer stolen when only 8 were borrowed. If you ask me he's trying to con his insurance.

Online Dating: Risky, Dangerous, and Deadly...
This great article serves as a warning for all who may consider online dating to be safe.
Risky business: The dangers of online dating and how to protect yourself
By Diana Falzone Published April 12, 2016 FoxNews.com
Police believe Ingrid Lyne, a Seattle-area mother of three, was the victim of homicide after dismembered remains were found a day after her disappearance.
Unlike singles in the '70s, who cruised bars and discos and risked looking for love in all the wrong places, tens of millions of singles each day join and log on to online dating sites with the belief that their efforts to find love and companionship are safe and secure.
But the apparent murder and dismemberment of Ingrid Lyne, a 40-year-old Seattle-area mother of three, has sent shockwaves throughout the cyber-romance world, with many begging the question: Is anyone safe?
Lyne disappeared last Friday after leaving to meet a date, who police identified as John Robert Charlton, 37. Her ex-husband reported her missing on Saturday — and a dismembered body, including a severed head and foot tentatively identified as Lyne's, were discovered Monday in a recycling bin in Seattle’s Central District. Friends said Lyne met Charlton a few months earlier through an as-yet-unnamed online dating site. Charlton reportedly has a lengthy rap sheet, including misdemeanor assaults — but it’s unlikely his dating profile mentioned that detail.
So, how do you protect yourself when you try online dating?
Bruce Anderson, director of Cyber Intelligence & Investigations, encourages cyber-daters to conduct a background check.
“You should always do a background check on the person that you are dating,” Anderson told FoxNews.com. “You should consider hiring a [private investigator] to run a background check and criminal check on the person, as well as a deep dive (OSINT) Open Source Intelligence Search. If this person has been around or successful, there will be a lot of information on them.”
A background check could be a wise move considering most dating websites do not conduct one. Under Match.com's "Terms of Use Agreement," it clearly states that the company is not liable should you have a date with death. Similar warnings exist on popular sites eHarmony, Farmers Only, and OKCupid, among others.
Here is an excerpt from Match.com under the subcategory "Your Interactions with Other Members."
“YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER MEMBERS. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE COMPANY CURRENTLY DOES NOT CONDUCT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS OR SCREENINGS ON ITS MEMBERS. THE COMPANY ALSO DOES NOT INQUIRE INTO THE BACKGROUNDS OF ALL OF ITS MEMBERS OR ATTEMPT TO VERIFY THE STATEMENTS OF ITS MEMBERS. THE COMPANY MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE CONDUCT OF MEMBERS OR THEIR COMPATIBILITY WITH ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE MEMBERS. THE COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT ANY CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK OR OTHER SCREENINGS (SUCH AS SEX OFFENDER REGISTER SEARCHES), AT ANY TIME AND USING AVAILABLE PUBLIC RECORDS."
Still, clinical psychologist Dr. Chloe Carmichael said even Charlton's criminal background was not enough to make an assertion he was a real threat — and that the public shouldn't be quick to point the finger at online dating.
“It's easy to focus on the online dating aspect here, but really this could have happened to the victim if she had met Charlton at a bar or anywhere else," Carmichael said. "They had apparently been dating for one or two months, so it's not as if she broke the obvious safety rules like going somewhere alone with him on a first date. It's unclear whether she knew about his criminal history of misdemeanor violence, but even if she did, it would not be reasonable to think that would be a tip-off that he's a depraved killer.”

Paul Le Roux.
Is this guy really so bad or just a highly intelligent misunderstood individual with bad friends
Paul Calder Le Roux’s arrest in 2012 got a fair amount of newspaper coverage. “One of the world’s most successful criminals,” announced The Australian. “This is a very, very bad guy,” intoned a US law enforcement agent, who compared Le Roux’s international career—allegedly involving drug trafficking and arms running — with that of infamous arms dealer Viktor Bout. “He’s Viktor Bout on steroids,” the law enforcement agent told the New York Times.
