4-ton statue stolen from motorcycle shop

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Ans we thought the taking of Charlie Tuna was bad.  I want to know how the thieves are going to hide this.  It’s not like they can say, oh I picked it up at a yard sale.   What a bunch of goobs!

LINDON, Utah (AP) — Police said thieves must’ve used heavy equipment to make off with a 4-ton statue mounted outside a Utah motorcycle shop. Lindon Police Chief Cody Cullimore said a back-hoe or a crane likely was required to move the $100,000 sculpture depicting an old-time speed racer. Employees discovered it was missing from the Timpanogos Harley-Davidson store in Lindon, where it had been erected two years ago.

Store manager Kandi Zamora said the granite block on which it was mounted also was missing.

Florida deputy pulls over a naked man riding a motorcycle, charges him with DUI

Friday, September 18th, 2009

That’s not something you see very often a 45 year old driving down the highway naked and intoxicated.   Having had the luck of being smacked by a bumble while holding my hand out the window at 55mph.  I am not sure how this would work naked on a motorcycle, but it could be ugly

OCALA, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say a Florida man was charged with driving under the influence after he was spotted riding his motorcycle naked. The Marion County deputy was driving on Interstate 75 early Tuesday when he spotted what appeared to be a naked man on a motorcycle. The deputy caught up with 45-year-old J. Dante Krauss at a red light and stopped him.

Capt. Mike Rolls said Krauss could not explain where he was coming from or why he was naked. Rolls said the deputy asked him if he had been drinking, and he answered that he had. Breathalyzer tests revealed blood alcohol levels above .08, the state’s legal limit to drive.

Krauss was charged with what Rolls said turned out to be his fifth DUI. Jail records showed he was later released on $20,000 bail. They did not list an attorney and his phone number was not listed.
