- - - In Salt Lake City, Utah , Lee Redmond, 68, says that a car accident earlier this year, which she described as the "most dramatic" event in her life, changed her life - - - and robbed her of her identity - - - when it resulted in the loss of fingernails that she had, over a 30-year period grown to a combined length of 28 feet, 4 inches - - - she's currently grown them back out to 4.5 inches - - - but says she has no intention of growing them to their former length - - -

And here's another thousand...

- - - In Abingdon, Virginia , Bascome Howell, 44, and his brother, Ernie Howell, 37, decided to make off with a painted statue of a wolf - - - one of about two dozen painted statues on display as public art here - - - they would have been well-advised, however, to have put their new acquisition somewhere else in making their getaway - - - as you can see:

And here's another thousand....

- - - In Hamilton, Wisconsin , a rural land owner noticed a patch of marijuana plants growing on his property - - - so he

called police - - - who installed a surveillance camera in a nearby tree - - - but when the suspected gardener showed up to tend his plants - - - at about 4 a.m., mind you - - - he apparently noticed the camera - - - climbed the tree in an apparent

attempt to disable it - - - he didn't manage to do that - - - but the camera snapped - well, you can see....
