That boat was stolen from Ono Island (lower Alabama) and persued by the police up the intercoastal canal toward Destin, FL. The boat was abandoned after they ran it aground. I don't know if they were captured but suspect they were.

File Under What the Heck Was He Thinking?
Man grabs four guns at gun show
Comments (0)
BY JOE RODRIGUEZ
The Wichita Eagle
His first mistake was trying to steal four guns.
His second one was trying to steal them at a gun show.
The alleged crook scooped up four Smith & Wesson guns from a vendor's table at the RK Gun Inc. show Sunday at Cessna Activity Center, 2744 George Washington Blvd.
But he didn't make it far. The vendor and at least two others who were at the show grabbed the man before he could make it out the door, held him down, then cuffed him with zip ties -- hard plastic fasteners -- until law enforcement officers arrived.
Austin Sechler, the vendor who said the man tried to steal from him, said it was "the very wrong place to do this."
Sechler said the man, whom he estimated to be about 20, looked at guns at the tables of many sellers.
While it's not uncommon for potential gun buyers to examine different guns, the suspect did something a bit unusual, Sechler said.
"He was picking them up, putting them in his pocket, seeing how they fit in his pocket," Sechler said.
Eventually, the man -- who had been with several others earlier -- came back alone to Sechler's table. Sechler said the man stacked two of the guns on top of two others.
"I asked him, 'What are you doing?' " Sechler said. "And he looks at me, he loops his fingers through the trigger guards of all four of them, and headed for that door."
Sechler jumped over a table and grabbed the man. Soon, two or three others at the show helped hold the man down, Sechler said.
"He finally gave up when there was four guys laying on him," Sechler said.
The Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office said that law enforcement officers arrived within five minutes of being called, and the man was taken into custody.

When he gets out he should probably stick to robbing restaurants where cops always eat at.

That one gives me nightmares. I spent a year in Iraq on a base in Mosul, and one of my primary duties was container management. Talk about an exercise in herding cats. I read an article somewhere about how many ships end up like that or worse. I also found out that a good proportion of all the shipments in and out of Afghanistan (which go thru Pakistan) end up full of Paki bricks. The devils cut the bottom out of the container, take the load, replace it with bricks for weight, and weld it back together. You never know it until you open it, since the seals are intact.

Gotta love our American public school system .........
A german friend of my wifes who lives in the same redneck, backwards town that we do, went to take care of some business at the grade school that both of our kids share.
She got to talking to a lady that works at the school in the library (where they undoubtedly have at least ONE American history book) and was actually asked the question......
"So uhhhh .... in Germany, do you guys celebrate Thanksgiving over there ??"
My wifes friend tactfully informed her that the pilgrims landed over here in America and not in Germany.
Good Lord ... they actually allow people like this to walk around without wearing safety helmets and a sign !! .... and let them educate our children.
Cheers,
