Good luck finding him. Someone dressed in a unicorn costume and wielding a crowbar tried to burglarize a Baltimore-area convenienc­e store Saturday.

Cops responded to the reported break-in at 5 a.m., but the assailant had already left empty-hoofed in a silver car.

Here’s something nearly as rare as a unicorn — a repentant robber.

A guy who stole $500 at knifepoint from a woman in China had a change of heart when he saw his victim’s bank account balance of $0.

Still, the penitent thief was later arrested.

He better know “Jailhouse Rock.”

An Irish man named Elvis Aaron Presley was arrested in connection with menacing a UK man with a knife.

Presley pleaded not guilty to threatenin­g victim Fayaz Ayub with a folding knife in Blackpool, England, on Jan. 23 — but he did cop to bashing the man.

When asked to enter a plea on the charge of “assault by beating,” he replied: “Guilty. I didn’t beat him, I punched him.”

An underage, drunk Pennsylvan­ia man hopped onto a school bus hoping it would take him closer to his home — only to be brought to a local high school instead.

Dominic Herder, 20, was arrested for trespassin­g following the bizarre incident Friday in Gwynedd Township.

A San Francisco-area town is suing an eclectic homeowner there to force her to remove several giant dinosaur statues from the lawn of her “Flintstone­s”-themed home.

The town of Hillsborou­gh, Calif., says media mogul Florence Fang broke a litany of zoning laws when she erected a menagerie of metal dinosaur statues outside her garish Hanna-Barbera cartoon-inspired home.

Local officials have already declared the folk-art dwelling built in 1976 a public nuisance.
