COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS, Utah (AP) — A Pennsylvania couple is offering a $1,000 reward in hopes their stolen wedding photos can be recovered after a vehicle break-in in Utah.
The Deseret News of Salt Lake City reported that Utah-based photographer Sean Sullivan had
his gear and computer stolen from his truck Friday after he stopped to go fly fishing in Big Cottonwood Canyon.
Sullivan says the photos of Philadelphia couple Josh and Jennifer Smith were contained in the equipment that was taken when the passenger side window of his truck was smashed.
Sullivan says he had flown to Pennsylvania specifically to take the wedding photos and had supplied the couple with only two shots thus far.
Sullivan says his debit card also was taken and used at a nearby convenience store soon after the theft.
Thanksgiving bird crashes into eatery
PENN HILLS, Pennsylvania (AP) — A wild turkey smashed through a plate glass window at an empty western Pennsylvania restaurant and ended up where millions of its fellow gobblers did on Thanksgiving: a dining room.
Penn Hills police Officer Bernard Sestili tells the WTAE-TV the feathered fowl didn't survive impact when it barreled into the dining room of the Eat'n Park in Penn Hills on Thursday afternoon. The restaurant was closed at the time.
Sestili says he responded when the building's alarm went off.
He suspects the turkey may have been roosting in a nearby tree when it "got up this morning and went for his morning flight and flew into the window."
Penn Hills is about 16 kilometers outside Pittsburgh.
‘Gumby’ pleads guilty to burglary
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A man accused of trying to rob a San Diego 7-Eleven while dressed as Gumby has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor burglary.
A lawyer for 19-year-old Jacob Kiss entered the plea Wednesday. Kiss' accomplice, 20-year-old Jason Giramma, also pleaded to the same charge. Both men were placed on three years of probation.
The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that the men will be allowed to withdraw their pleas if they comply with the probation terms.
Police say the men entered the convenience store on Sept. 5. A clerk says the Gumby character claimed to have a gun but in a television interview, Kiss says the clerk misunderstood him. Kiss and Giramma turned themselves into police days later and the Gumby suit was seized.
The attempted stickup was captured on videotape.
Iowa 'hamburglar' turns himself in
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AFP) – Police in Iowa have charged a college student with breaking into a McDonald's restaurant after hours, warming up the grill and then making himself a hamburger, local media reported.
Whitley Allen Teslow, 21, turned himself to Cedar Falls police after local television showed surveillance video of a clean-cut burglar breaking into the fast-food outlet and grilling himself some beef patties.
The intruder also fired up the deep fryer to make French fries, before fleeing with a soft drink. No cash was taken from the till.
Teslow, enrolled at a local Lutheran liberal arts college, is charged with burglary, criminal mischief and theft, the Des Moines Register newspaper said on its website.
Iowa television station KWWL said the crime scene was just a few blocks from both the Cedar Falls police station and another McDonald's that is open 24 hours a day.
Vending machine offers welcome banners
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Ever wanted to meet and greet your loved ones at the airport to be sure they don't miss you in the crowds?
Then try Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, which now has the world's first vending machine capable of printing out personalized giant canvas banners in just a few minutes.
You can pick your message, whether that is "Missed you Mummy," "I love you," "Will you marry me?," or anything else that makes you stand out from the crowd, choose the font and background design, pay between four and 15 euros ($19.98)depending on the length of the banner, and hit the button.
"We came up with the idea because when we were at the airport we'd see all these people welcoming their friends and family with their own banners made of bed sheets and we thought what a hassle using sheets, wouldn't it just be easier to make the banner at the airport," BannerXpress's co-founder Thibaud Bruna told Reuters Thursday.
Bruna's first machine, which was three years in the making, made its debut at Schiphol Thursday.
