Busted by a tornado

A tornado recently ripped through the town of Kingsport, Tennessee, damaging homes and scattering belongings, including all the stuff that Jerrod Christian had in his home, allowing his neighbors to see it and realize that 'Hey, wait a second! That looks like our stuff that was recently stolen.'

One of Christian's neighbors said, "I kind of had suspicions, but you can't just accuse people without proof."

Christian is now locked up, awaiting trial. [ABC News]

Hopefully his defense attorney will not use the "Mother Nature did not have a search warrant" line.

Even animals are smart enough not to sh!t where they eat.

One thing about an outlaw biker clubhouse in your neighbourhood: They keep the local crime level down, and make sure the stuff they're boosting comes from other neighbourhoods. The last thing they want is attention from the neighbours.
