What not to YouTube

38-year-old Jacon Rehm stood outside a courthouse in Morrisville, Vt., on Tuesday, Nov. 17, and said he felt "inspired" to steal a bus from his former employer, drive it across three states and post a video of his ride on YouTube.

Rehm had worked for Lamoille Valley Transportation as a bus driver for three weeks in 2006. He decided to "borrow" the $583,000 bus on Nov. 2, and authorities eventually caught Rehm in St. Johnsbury, Vt., after reports that he had driven through a schoolyard waving at children.

Rehm uploaded a four-minute video he titled The Fabulous Bus Ride on the video-sharing web site YouTube. 

Rehm told a judge that the act was not premeditated and that he "did not mean any form of mischief." The bus was not damaged.

Rehm has been charged with theft of services, operating a vehicle without owner consent and trespassing. He faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted on all three counts.

Prosecutor Todd Shove said "it's not every day that someone documents their crime and posts it on YouTube," noting that FaceBook is more popular among criminals looking to brag about their crimes.

Geezer Bandit

FBI officials in San Diego, Calif., are looking for a thin, elderly man who is believed to be responsible for five bank hold-ups since this summer. During the most recent robbery on Monday, Nov. 16, a man who appears to be in his 70s showed a teller a handgun and demanded cash before leaving the bank on foot.

The motives of the suspect, nicknamed the "Geezer Bandit," are currently unknown, but many believe the man will be hard to find in Southern California. Investigators plan to throw rocks at retirement homes in the hopes that they will eventually hit the right suspect.

Deadly ice

As Danelle Hagan and her nine-year-old daughter sat stunned in their Brush, Colo., home on Saturday, Nov. 14, wondering what could possibly have caused the massive noise in their kitchen. After "what sounded like an explosion," Hagan found her kitchen destroyed - and giant pieces of ice on the floor.

Officials said that the ice appears to be a chunk of "Rime ice" that builds up on a plane's fuselage during flights through cold, wet air. Authorities confirmed that it was not "blue ice," which comes from an airplane's bathroom.

Authorities said that the incident is about as likely as getting hit by lightning but can be easier on the wallet. While the Federal Aviation Association's insurance might cover Hagan's house, those hit by lightning are forced to file civil suits against Zeus and hope he doesn't skip his court date.

Just a kiss?

A kiss between a western Pennsylvania woman and an inmate on Oct. 19 at the State Correctional Institution in Mercer, Pa., seemed suspicious to guards after the inmate appeared to swallow something.

The inmate would not tell guards what he swallowed so guards put him in a cell to monitor his bathroom activities. Three days later they found a balloon filled with marijuana.

The inmate and the woman, who are both 41, were charged with conspiracy to smuggle contraband. Guards said they were surprised with how elaborate the plan was.

"Most people just bake these items into a pie or a cake," one corrections officer said. "I guess this is the plan for everyone that failed Home Economics."
