A rare, endangered turtle is saved from likely boiling in a Chinese soup pot after wildlife officers and a microchip worked to save it from an ugly fate. Poachers nabbed the animal, belonging to a species known as "royal turtle" in Cambodia; its name inherited from the practice of feeding its eggs to kings, from a Cambodian river two months ago, and smuggled it across Vietnam's border on a motorbike, along with a horde of other common turtles.

A city fire captain is in trouble for improper use of office materials. Captain Kevin Shaffer must repay the department $120 for using a fire truck to water his yard. Shaffer and other firefighters were training recently and needed to empty the truck's tank. Instead of dumping the water down a drain, the captain used it to water his lawn in Kokomo, 50 miles north of Indianapolis.

German police let a nearly naked shopper go home after she told them she was getting groceries in the nude because she lost a spin the bottle contest, a police spokesman in Cologne said on Wednesday. "We're a tolerant city that is open to the world," said spokesman Burkard Jahn. "She could have been arrested for disturbing the peace, but we decided to let her go home with a verbal warning to dress appropriately next time. "
