Weird BUT true

An Atlanta nurse who had left her minivan window open in an effort to beat the heat returned to an un-bearable surprise.

A black bear had slipped into Carrie Watts’ van and was devouring her lunch of a sandwich, chips and a cookie.

Watts tried to scare off the moocher by blasting her car alarm and banging pots and pans. But he wouldn’t exit until he was done eating. Call it a giant art attack. Thieves pulled up to the burnt-out Englewood, Ill., church that artist Plamen Yordanov is converting into a studio and snatched a 300-pound brass-and-lights sculpture called “light infinity.”

The art is valued at $70,000. But Yordanov fears the crooks just wanted “fast cash for a few hundred pounds of brass.”

Fore heaven’s sake! Arizona motorists were concerned by the sight of an elderly man chugging along Interstate 10 near Chandler at 4 a.m. Wednesday in a golf cart without lights.

They couldn’t get him to exit the highway. So cops stopped the 83-year-old guy, who was later picked up, along with his cart, by his wife, cops said. Oh, you poor deer. Residents of Clipper Gap, Calif., helped save a young fawn they’d seen wandering with a peanut-butter jar stuck on its mouth.

“You can tell she just wants to eat,” said Debra Twardus, one of the neighbors who sought help from state wildlife officials to organize a rescue effort. What a flaming fool. A forgetful minivan driver left a St. Louis gas station with the nozzle attached — spraying fuel onto a bright blue Lamborghini Huracan.

The $400,000 sports car burst into flames and was destroyed.

The Riverfront Times bluntly headlined the story: “Incredible Dumbass Turns Lamborghini into Fireball at St. Louis Gas Station.”
