Today in WTF: Nude Criminals On The Rise

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

Authorities aren't sure whether the latest uptick in nude criminal behavior is a result of some mass cultural craziness or the nice weather we've been having, but they certainly make for great coffee break conversation.

Check out the latest capers, all of which are making us feel like streaking on this beautiful spring day...

1) Police in Florida received an embarrassed call from a married couple after a woman came home from a solo vacation and discovered tens of thousands of dollars in jewelry missing. The husband blamed their newly-hired maid, who came from a $100-per hour nude house cleaning service, arrived at his house while his wife was away, and proceeded to clean the place up in the buff. We've been warning you people about dating on Craig's List... now we have to warn you about hiring anonymous nude maids, too? When will we ever learn...?

2)  A couple of teenagers were arrested on DUI and drug possession charges after crashing, in the nude, into first a stop sign and then a utility pole. Megan, the driver, "told officers in the report that the two had just had sex, and that she drank three or four beers before the accident. According to the report, marijuana was found in her purse." 

What's the twist that connects these two stories? They both took place on the Florida coast... hmmm... maybe you, like us, are wondering if there's some connection here. The rest of you can just enjoy the weirdness of Floridians and nudists everywhere. God bless 'em.

In the suburbs of Vancouver, BC, a nude man stole a truck from a farm and went driving around in circles on a local highway.

Maybe something to do with the largest Confederate flag being hung over the Florida highway?
