OFFBEAT NEWS:
It’s not clear what Sahar Tabar loves more: Angelina Jolie or plastic surgery. The 19-year-old woman from Iran says she’s Angie’s biggest fan and she would “do anything” to emulate her. Apparently, that means undergoing 50 plastic surgeries.
Tabar’s Instagram has more than 460-thousand followers, but her unique look has also brought on plenty of haters. One follower even called her a “zombie.” At this point, there’s no way to know how much of Tabar’s look is due to surgery and how much can be chalked up to makeup.

Sometimes it takes a little while for a guilty conscience to kick in. For one person in St. Paul, Minnesota, it took three decades. Enter South St. Paul police chief Bill Messerich, who opened a letter sent to him and found $1-thousand.
Included was a note apologizing for a hit and run committed in either 1985 or 1986. The anonymous sender asked for forgiveness and wondered whether police could track down the victim and give him or her the cash.
The sender asked that if the driver can’t be tracked down that the money be given to a police charity. Fortunately for the South St. Paul PD, their records don’t go back that far so the money was deposited into the police department’s general donation account and will be used to buy new equipment or technology.

Goodwill stores wouldn’t be able to continue without donations. That doesn’t mean you can donate whatever you want, however. For example, it’s best not to drop off a hand grenade.
While going through a box that was dropped off, an employee at the Placentia, California store spotted the military weapon. Understandably, authorities were called and to air on the side of caution, a bomb squad was called in to remove the grenade safely.
Police are investigating, but all we know is that a woman dropped off the explosive donation.

STUPID CRIMINALS:
Police in Revere, Massachusetts had a particularly smelly crook on their hands. Steven Spolidoro is accused of walking into a bank, demanding money, and fleeing with $1-thousand. An off-duty cop who was nearby provided a description of 41-year-old Spolidoro’s car, which was spotted in Boston. After a chase, officers saw the man abandon his car and run off on foot. He was eventually discovered and arrested inside a port-a-potty near the TD Garden arena.
