Man steals flip-flops for sex

Mother buys vending machine for lazy children Woman finds mattress on side of house

-

Amother bought a vending machine to encourage her children to do some chores. Sarah Balsdon purchased the second-hand machine after growing tired of her four children being lazy during lockdown.

She gives the children pocket money once they’ve completed their chores so they can buy chips, chocolate and sodas with their own cash.

Balsdon wrote on Facebook: “During lockdown, the kids have been wanting sweet stuff all the time and they have been refusing to help around the house.

“The healthy snacks are all free, but this way they will have to do jobs and schoolwork to earn money to buy sweets from the vending machine.”

The 29-year-old Brit said her children thought she was being “mean” at first, but the reward of treats, once they’ve completed their jobs, soon changed their minds.

“It has encourage them to start doing chores, but I don’t know how long it will continue!” Balsdon said.

“At first, they thought it was really mean, but now they love it.”

Aman with a flip-flop fetish was arrested after stealing 126 pairs to have sex with.

Theerapat Klaiya was detained in Thailand after locals reported that their footwear had gone missing.

Klaiya confessed to officers that he would wear the flip-flops around his house before rubbing them on his body, then getting intimate with them.

The collection of footwear consisted of dozens of different brands, sizes and colours — all of which had been thoroughly worn.

Police Major Colonel Ekkaphop Prasitwatt­anachai said that officers found out that his strange fetish had landed him in trouble before.

“After we arrested the suspect, we also found out that he had already been arrested last year for stealing flip-flops in another district,” Prasitwatt­anachai said.

“He fully admitted stealing the sandals for lewd purposes, so will be detained at the station until a court appearance for prosecutor­s to decide on the next part of the legal process for him.”

Awoman was left stunned after discoverin­g a bed impaled to the side of her house. Emily Beattie thought she was “hallucinat­ing” when she discovered the mattress attached to the side of her Leeds home in the North of England, as she put the bins out.

The Mirror Online reports Beattie as saying: “I thought I was hallucinat­ing when I saw it.

“I was taking the bins out and I just saw this bed on the side of my house and I thought, what the hell is going on here?

“It was just strange — I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.”

If that wasn’t weird enough, when it got dark, Beattie noticed the bed was lit up by lights like a “beacon”.

The 25-year-old Scot added: “I thought this couldn’t get funnier. But it did.

“Because at night, the light automatica­lly came on and it just illuminate­d the whole bed.

“It became like a beacon of sorts. It’s just ridiculous.”
