Weird BUT true

A trespasser in Australia pretended to be a statue to avoid detection, police said.

The 29-year-old man was “snooping” around a construction site in Adelaide when he tried the ruse, cops said. But it didn’t work — a police dog sniffed him out.

How did no one “cash” this?

About $67 billion in paper money has gone “missing” from the UK’s central bank — and nobody has an explanation, according to a parliamentary report.

The moolah is “stashed somewhere, but the Bank of England doesn’t know where, who by or what for — and doesn’t seem very curious,” said a local pol.

A man “adjusting his pants” caused his gun to go off inside a Georgia department store, scaring shoppers.

The unidentified gun owner was walking through Neiman Marcus in Atlanta and readjusting “when the firearm he had in his waistband discharged,” cops said.

He took off from the mall and hasn’t been found. No one was injured.

He’s the Grinch who couldn’t steal Christmas.

A Scrooge-like Washington state man swiped more than 50 Christmas trees from a store and stashed them in a trailer before being nabbed, police said.

Eli P. Vansickle, 49, was spotted on security footage allegedly stealing the firs and spruces from River Ridge Hardware in Spokane.

Cops were able to recover the trees and return them to the store owner, who in turn donated them to first responders.

This gives new meaning to “walk it off !”

An Italian man trekked some 280 miles to calm down after arguing with his wife.

The unidentified 48-yearold hubby walked 40 miles a day in an attempt to soothe his anger.

He hiked for about a week before police found him, “a little tired” but otherwise healthy.

The kicker? He was fined him for breaking curfew.
