Weird BUT true

A Utah man improvised, fending off a burglar with whatever ’ cue-tensil he had at hand.

Landon Ledingham, house-sitting for his parents in Provo, heard footsteps in the house and grabbed a long barbecue-carving fork.

When the would-be-thief ran out the door, Ledingham chased him for several blocks until they tussled over the fork and the intruder got away, police said.

There was a giant flaw in this Oklahoma City bankheist scheme — using Ubers to get there and back.

Three teens were overheard by the first driver saying they had guns and that people inside a Midfirst Bank were “about to get popped,” police said.

So the driver called cops who beat the “getaway” Uber driver, Brandon Case, to the scene and busted the teens.

“I don’t know whether to laugh or cry,” Case said.

A software chief at a Chinese bank withdrew roughly $1 million in “free” cash at ATMs, thanks to a loophole he exploited.

Qin Qisheng, 43, learned by working for Huaxia Bank in Beijing that cash withdrawals made around midnight weren’t recorded. So he drained cash at that hour for 14 months — until he was caught.

After a British motorist drove his car into a ditch, he gave cops a fishy excuse — he had swerved “to avoid an octopus.”

Not seeing any sign of an octopus, Devon cops checked out the 49-year-old driver and busted him on suspicion of drug-driving.

It’s Tinder for foodies. Samsung’s just-launched “Refrigerdating” app lets people judge potential love interests, not by their looks or personality, but by what’s in their refrigerators.

“We hope people can meet under more honest or transparent circumstances with the help of the contents of the fridge, because that can tell you a lot about the personality,” an app rep said.
