The 64 Million Pants

When the local Washington D.C. dry cleaner lost Roy Pearson’s pants, he was not happy. He complained, demanded compensation, and took action. And boy, did he take action. Roy Pearson is suing Custom Cleaners for $65,462,500 for his lost pair of trousers, with a claimed value of $800.

So how did Pearson get to a $65 million lawsuit from an $800 pair of trousers? Washington’s consumer protection law provides for damages of $1,500 per violation per day. Pearson began multiplying: 12 violations over 1,200 days, times three defendants. A pant leg here, a pant leg there, and soon, he’s up to his $65 million lawsuit.

Thief Decides to Take a Nap

A man suspected of burglarizing a home was arrested after police found him asleep in the basement. Iam D. Wright was lying on the floor early Thursday next to a black bag filled with items that belonged to the homeowners, including stereo equipment, a backpack and a wallet, police said.

One of the residents had flagged down nearby officers after discovering a man in their basement.

Wright's eyes were closed and he did not respond to police until he was threatened with a Taser.

He allegedly told police he was drunk and had passed out after a party at the home, but the homeowners said they hadn't hosted a party.

Wright is charged with felony theft and burglary and remains jailed on $2,500 bail.

Police found other items on Wright that didn't belong to the couple, and say he may be responsible for other burglaries and thefts in the area.

'Oh, it's alright', replied one youth brightly, 'the key sometimes gets stuck in the lock.'

'Perhaps you would like to try my key', suggested Pat helpfully.

'Why on earth would we want to do that?' said the other youth in a sarcastic voice.

Hospital patient had to ring 911

A Romanian hospital patient had to call the emergency services because nobody heard him crying for help. Stefan Ososchi, 80, who suffers from an incurable disease, said he was lucky to have his mobile phone with him. He had been admitted to the County Hospital in Botosani and put on a drip but the nurses forgot to come back to take out the needle from his vein.

Mr Ososchi said, "I waited for the nurse come and take the needle out. It had been almost an hour and nobody came. I had terrible pains in my arm and I tried to take it off myself but didn't succeed. I began to cry for help. It was in vain so I called 911 and asked for their help."

The head of the County Hospital in Botosani said the two nurses who were in charge of the patient will be disciplined for negligence. Ambulance service spokesman Dorina Andronache said, "I thought it was a stupid joke when I heard that somebody from a hospital was asking for help. But it turned out the patient was indeed in trouble."

Goodwill Sells Parked Bike

SALEM, Ore. - Cody Young parked his bike in the wrong place at the Goodwill store, where the rule is that anything on the floor goes. He didn't have a lock, but friends said they had parked inside the store before. On Sunday, though, the black BMX bike was sold.

But the 13-year-old is going to get his bike back, Goodwill officials said, after the buyer saw a newspaper story about the mix-up and called to make things right.

The buyer got the bike for just $6.99 but will get a $100 gift certificate from Goodwill for coming forth.

It's not the first such mix-up in Goodwill's busy stores, Goodwill spokesman Dale Emanuel said. A janitor once left a bucket and mop on a store's sales floor, and they were sold the next day.
