A young man on a bicycle, who has not as yet been apprehended by the authorities, rode past an elderly woman, and snatched from her hand a small bag, which he presumed to contain valuables of some sort.
What he failed to realise is that the woman was walking her dog, and the bag that he had just pried from her hands contained the dog faeces that she had just removed from the pavement.
Quite unaware of what he had just stolen, the poop pilferer escaped the scene of his heinous crime, surely only to discover his mistake as he returned to his hideout to count his loot.
The police noted the lady was unharmed, and that the turd-burglar had "stolen nothing of value".
Bad puns aside, this is the kind of surreal news that can only be found in small, isolated areas such as where I grew up, where randomness seems inherent when you consider the obvious boredom.
And of course, it is a fantastic example of how karma is a bitch.
