Weird stuffs happens all the time

Have you ever heard a totally weird story that our brain cant computed to be true?? Its so weird and idiotic that it has to be a true story rather than being made up. Because no human can come out with these kinda stories anyway. Below I compile a few extra-ordinary stories to keep you guys entertain.
Story No.1:
An American couple turned the tables on a burglar they caught ransacking their home by dispensing their own summary justice.Without waiting for the law to arrive, the pair doled out their own punishment to the surprised criminal - they made him clean up the house at gunpoint!
The unlucky burglar was caught red-handed when Adrian and Tiffany McKinnon returned to their house near Montgomery, Alabama, after a week away.To their dismay they discovered their home had been plundered."Tears just rolled down my face as I walked in and saw everything gone and piles of trash all over my home," Mrs. McKinnon told her local newspaper the Montgomery Advertiser.When her husband walked into another room to check what was missing he came face to face with the burglar, who was wearing one of Mr. McKinnon's hats."My husband Adrian caught the thief red-handed in our home.
And what is even crazier, the man even had my husband's hat sitting right on his head," Mrs. McKinnon said.Mr. McKinnon held suspect Tajuan Bullock at gunpoint and made him sit down until he decided what to do."We made this man clean up all the mess he made, piles of stuff, he had thrown out of my drawers and cabinets onto the floor," Mrs. McKinnon said.When the police arrived the work-shy burglar had the cheek to complain to them - about having to clean up his mess at gunpoint.
"This man had the nerve to raise sand about us making him clean up the mess he made in my house," said Mrs McKinnon.But the police officer laughed at Bullock when he complained and told him that anybody else would have shot him dead.Bullock was arrested on burglary and theft charges and was held in Montgomery County Detention Facility.A police spokesman said the victims were lucky to be able to catch the suspect in the act and hold him until police arrived. It was an unusual case because usually burglars struck while the homeowner was away and were in and out fast so they could quickly sell the stolen items, the spokesman added.
Story No.2:
He dresses in expensive designer clothes by Armani and Luis Vuitton and stays at the poshest hotels.But Kevin Castle who hides behind the face of a respectable businessman is a 'millionaire shoplifter' who makes £1,000 (over $2000) a day from his crimes.
British police, who are hunting the well-dressed crook with a taste for the good life, have declared him 'most wanted'.Castle is being sought by three police forces - Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Nottinghamshire - for shoplifting, identity theft, interception of mail and money laundering.Police say Britain's top shoplifter (pictured above) always wears expensive designer clothes such as Armani, Luis Vuitton and Versace.
The 42-year-old is known to frequent high-class establishments in London such as the Ritz, Claridges and the Dorchester Hotel.Castle often uses hire cars and tends to favor large vehicles such as the Porsche Cayenne, VW Touareg SUV and Jaguars.He is believed to be currently living in London in rented accommodation (possibly costing at least £1,000 (over $2000) per week, say police.Detective Constable Anita Fishwick, of Lancashire police, said: "This man likes to think he is a criminal mastermind."There is no doubt he is Britain's biggest shoplifter. He lives and looks like a millionaire."He is a suave, charismatic businessman who has made shoplifting his trade."Mr Castle is quite distinctive because of his clothing and his millionaire-type lifestyle."We are very keen to trace this man and speak to him in connection with our inquiries.
"Castle often targets DIY stores and returns the stolen items with forged till receipts.He is featured on Lancashire Constabulary's Most Wanted website: http://www.lancashire.police.uk/.
Story No.3:
Sgt Dan Powers (above and below) survived an attack in which four inches of a knife blade (also pictured) was rammed into his skull An American soldier had a miraculous escape from a knife attack in which four inches of a blade was rammed into his skull.At first Sergeant Dan Powers wasn't even aware that he had been stabbed by an Iraqi insurgent.He was patrolling in the streets of East Baghdad in Iraq when his attacker came up behind him.He simply thought he had been bumped "like a football tackle" until colleagues told him what had happened."There was no pain because the brain has no pain sensory nerves. It was all surface, like someone punched me in the head," he said.His fellow soldiers decided against pulling out the blade, instead protecting the knife handle with bandages and a plastic cup, and taking him to a military hospital.Throughout his surgery Powers was awake, explaining to the doctors what had happened as they worked on the knife.At one point someone placed a phone over his ear so he could talk to his wife back at home and reassure her that everything would be fine.Senior surgeon in Iraq Lt. Col. Richard Teff was guided by video link from the US by the army's top vascular neurosurgeon Lt. Col. Rocco Armonda."We were lucky we had the right people in the right place," Dr. Teff said.Dr. Teff faced a difficult dilemma, carry out a major brain and artery operation, or cross his fingers and pull out the knife embedded in the victim's brain."Any time you have a penetrating stab to the head, the biggest concern is what's going to happen when you pull the knife out," he explained."He started bleeding like crazy, enough to make everyone in the room worry he might die," Teff said.Despite fears that Sgt. Powers would suffer severe paralysis, brain damage and lost eyesight, he confounded the experts.Though he faced more surgery back in the US, after a month he was discharged.He was given the knife, which he agreed to send it back to Baghdad for his attacker's trial.He said he does not know what happened to his attacker, but understood the Iraqis "will lengthen his neck a little bit".His remarkable recovery is regarded as a miracle of modern military medicine.
