Weird BUT true

To solve the robbery of a pizza-delivery man, Calfornia cops brought in a very special agent — with four legs and a keen sense of smell.

The K-9 deputy, a bloodhound named “Dare,” was called in Wednesday after two teens beat up a Domino’s delivery guy in Rancho Cucamonga and stole his pies. Dare sniffed out the 17-year-old thugs who were busted a mile away, munching on the evidence, cops said.

Does North Carolina have more than its share of nosy “parkers”?

A military veteran, Rod Boyle, last week found a note on his car windshield blasting him for parking in a vets-only spot.

“Why don’t you get your facts straight?” Boyle, a 20year Navy vet, asked about the writer of the note he found in Wake Forest.

In June, Rebecca Landis Hayes, an 8-year Navy vet, found a similar note on her car in Concord, NC — and received an apology after her story went viral.

The state of Alaska says it has a “ferry” good deal for you.

For just $700,000, you can buy Taku, a 352-foot-long, 350-seat ferry the state is replacing after 50 years of service. Taku’s original asking price, $1.5 million, got no takers.

Lightning can strike twice — or even three times for a remarkably lucky lottery player in Michigan.

A Wayne County man, who asked not to be identified by name, won $178,078 this month playing Fantasy 5. In March he won a $105,000 jackpot and back in 2009 a $499,907 prize.

A Michigan man was sentenced to probation and avoided jail for stealing cars to rev up a sexual fetish.

Jordan Haskins, 26, will also have to get mentalhealth treatment for “cranking” — getting off on the extra-shaky ride of cars from which he removed spark plugs to give them their rough ride.
