Police Log: Anorak’s Look at Crime In The News
POLICE LOG: Anorak’s look at crime in the news…
Sprits Move Me:
A man says he was so consumed by the spirit of God that he fell and hit his head while worshipping.
Now he wants Lakewind Church to pay $2.5 million for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
THE Sock Snatcher:
James Dowdy has gone to prison three times, and may go there again, for the same crime: burglarizing homes and stealing women’s socks.
Dowdy had been free on bond in one alleged sock caper when police say he was caught with socks that had been taken from someone’s laundry room Monday morning in Belleville, a St. Louis suburb…
Dowdy’s mother, Linda, said he needs to be institutionalized to get psychiatric treatment for the fixation she says has tormented him most of his life. She thinks the fetish took hold when he clung to some of her socks as keepsakes when he was forced to live for a year with his dad as a child.
Sofa, So Bad:
A Russian woman in St Petersburg killed her drunk husband with a folding couch, Russian media reported on Wednesday.
St Petersburg’s Channel Five said the man’s wife, upset with her husband for being drunk and refusing to get up, kicked a handle after an argument, activating a mechanism that folds the couch up against a wall.
A stripper who danced on the poles of Santiago subway trains to challenge the prudishness of Chilean society was arrested on Thursday during one of her lightning performances.
Monserrat Morilles, 26, surprised subway riders all week stripping to skimpy underwear, but she refused tips.

I’m pretty sure string theory provides a decent explanation; if it were rope theory then both socks would make their getaway…

ODD SOCK PLANET
Valerie Waite.2004
In our house is a drawer
Which is full of odd socks.
They appear from nowhere
And gather in flocks.
I don’t know where they come from,
But this I know for sure,
Each time I look inside the drawer
I see a dozen more.
There must surely be a planet
Where odd socks can go and stay
To recover from the trauma
Of sniffing feet all day.
There they walk in perfumed gardens,
And through fields of new mown hay.
For the natives of this planet are
Odd socks that flew away.
So, if you find some of your socks
Have vanished without trace.
Just think how happy they must be
Up there, in Outer Space

if he pissed on it, you should definitely imprison him in a wall cavity…
I thought socks were the foot equivalent of the Great Escape - mine regularly make a break for freedom, but funnily enough, never in pairs…..

I think Sofa Woman should be a cult heroine - we poor downtrodden women and dogs get soooooooo annoyed when we cannot nap on the couch because there is something large hairy smelly and pissed on it all the time.
Socks
I thought they launched themselves into outerspace directly from my washing machine. Is a sock fetishist to blame after all?
