Hi everyone,
I guess the blog mob has officially taken over now :)

It's still new years eve in my part of the world, while it's probably noon 1.1.04 where Christop is at :)

Well, not sure what to post... so how about some news about stupid burglars! I found this here: http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_841106.html?menu=news.quirkies

Burglars go back to ask for receipts

Three burglars were arrested in Brazil after they returned to a house and asked for the receipts for the goods they had stolen.

The young thieves told the owners of the house in Belo Horizonte that they were struggling to sell the stereo, TV and mobile phones because they didn't have the original receipts.

A police spokesman told Estado de Sao Paulo: "We have never seen anything so stupid.

"It was obvious that when they rang the bell the owner of the house would call us straight away and they were all arrested.

"They are all underage and I think they were just really naive and thought they would get away with going back."
