Weird BUT true

- Natalie O’Neill, Wires

A crook found himself up a creek without a paddle.

Jeremy Webb allegedly snatched mail from neighbors in Sammamish, Wash., before stealing a kayak and getting stuck, cops said.

A neighbor hopped into a different boat and quickly chased down the waterlogge­d weirdo.

Spirited away in a manger. A creep snatched the head of baby Jesus from a nativity scene in Massachuse­tts and replaced it with a real pig’s head.

The hog noggin was discovered wrapped in plastic, propped up next to statues of Mary and Joseph at Sacred Hearts Church near Boston. Cops are asking anyone who knows about the crime to squeal.

Put down the surfboards and pick up a snowboard.

A rare blizzard dumped snow on two mountainto­ps in Hawaii, stunning tourists with a White Christmas.

It occasional­ly snows on Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, but a blizzard is nearly unheard of. The powder began to melt roughly a day later, weather experts said.

An unholy bandit better pray the man upstairs wasn’t watching when he snatched a boat named “The Archangel” from monks in Alaska.

Monks on Spruce Island — who used the 21foot aluminum boat to get to an isolated island for prayers — said a rope docking the boat had been snipped and 10 gallons of gasoline were gone. Orthodox nuns living on a smaller island nearby told cops they spotted the crook making a break for it.

Maybe he thought the lights were for a street party.

A drunken driver in Florida plowed smack into a police investigat­ion where patrolcar lights were warning drivers to slow down.

The 33yearold suspect then tried to escape by hitting the gas and catapultin­g his car over nearby train tracks, according to police.

He later told cops he was so “drunk” he was “gonna puke,” police said.
