A Canadian man, 85, spends hours inside his impounded car after his vehicle was ticketed for illegal parking and then towed to a police compound. The frost blurred out the car's windows and a tow-truck driver, unaware of the elderly man sitting in the driver's seat, took the car to the police compound.

People expect thieves to look for keys things when they are on a stealing spree: cars, money, jewelry, priceless antiques and art. But light poles? Officials in Baltimore say that is exactly what a ring of thieves has been doing all around the city; stealing 30-foot light poles. Police say the thieves, sometimes posing as utility workers, place orange, construction-style cones around the area to avoid looking suspicious.

The Gazeta Shqiptare newspaper says that private recovery was more effective than official results. They quoted the case of a Mercedes stolen at gunpoint this month from a parking lot in Tirana. The owner of the parking lot called friends around the country and they began tracking the stolen vehicle. Three cars saw the vehicle and a group of people set up a private roadblock. When the thieves came upon it, they stopped the car and ran.
