Weird BUT true

- Natalie O’Neil,

Ono she didn’t! A woman was caught on camera stealing a $17,500 rock signed by Yoko Ono from a museum in Toronto.

The woman is accused of making off with the piece — on which John Lennon’s 86year-old widow penned the phrase “LOVE YOURSELF” — at the Gardiner Museum last month, police said.

It was part of an interactiv­e exhibit where viewers could pick up rocks and meditate.

Her excuse blows. A Florida woman told cops a gust of wind blew a stranger’s bag of cocaine into her purse.

Cops allegedly found the coke in a handbag on 26year-old Kennecia Posey’s lap after she was pulled over for swerving in Fort Pierce, according to police.

“It’s a windy day. It must have flown through the window and into my purse,” Posey said, cops said.

A teenage girl saved her family from a house fire thanks to a well-timed gripe about the Internet.

Alexandra Durand, 14, woke her sleeping dad, Patrick Durand, 51, to complain that the Wi-Fi had stopped working at their home in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

When he got up, he smelled smoke — and found a clothing dryer had caught fire in their garage.

History is the bomb at a Pennsylvan­ia thrift store, where a rare World War IIera grenade was discovered in a donation bin.

A worker found the grenade while cleaning at the Goodwill Industries branch in Cumru Township.

The pin was intact and part of its fuse remained, so the device was removed by a local bomb squad.

A purr-fect vacation spot. A town in Taiwan boasts two times more cats than humans, according to a recent population count.

Houtong, on the banks of the Keelung River, was taken over by more than 200 wild cats after its mines closed in the 1990s and workers left. Shops now cater to feline-loving tourists.
