Looking Glass: Look, officer, just leave me alone and let me graze here

THIS CALLS FOR A BREWSKI!: Police approached a Mercedes-Benz parked in the middle of a road in Cape Coral, Fla. and found a man sitting alone in the passenger’s seat with dozens of beer cans scattered at his feet.

I’M PRETTY SURE HE WENT THIS WAY, SARGE: A burglar broke into a home in Madison, Wisc., at 5 a.m., but fled when the resident woke up. Officers followed his tracks in the snow leading from the home and found the man walking barefoot in nearby yards rather than on the sidewalk or in the street.

EN-GARDE!: A 21-year-old man ran naked through several floors of a hotel in Des Moines, Iowa, wielding a toilet plunger and threatening and chasing a man he encountered in the 18th-floor stairwell. He set off fire alarms and swung the plunger until he was subdued by police officers.

WHAT WAS THAT!?: A man crawled under a woman’s SUV in a parking lot in Palmdale, Calif., while she was asleep inside the vehicle, and started sawing the catalytic converter off in an attempt to steal it.

THIS SHOULD BE PRETTY EASY, RIGHT?: When burglars broke into a convenience store in Victoria, British Columbia, they soon ran afoul of recently-installed anti-intruder technology which caused a thick cascade of smoke to overwhelm them.
