Woman, 86, gets $1,000 phone sex bill
The family of an 86-year-old woman who was billed for more than $1,000 in phone sex calls suspects identify theft. Arlene Hald recently received a credit-card bill addressed to her husband, Sylvester, who died nearly 20 years ago. Hald said they never had a credit card, yet an account in his name was charged. Hald's daughter, Peggy Rytych, believes her father was the victim of ID theft. She called the billing company, Preferred Platinum Plan, which agreed to remove the charges. Rytych says they thought that was the end of it - until another bill arrived for over $70. The California-based company agreed to remove the latest charges and never bill Hald again.

I like how no one ever thinks 86 year old women could be sexual deviants.
Man forgets thousands of euros in toilet
A German businessman lost more than 10,000 euros ($13,000) in a plastic bag after forgetting the cash in a public toilet, authorities said on Thursday. Hesse state police said the man took the "five-figure" sum with him as he stopped to relieve himself in a motorway service station near Haiger in western Germany. He then drove off. A police spokesman said it was not clear why the man took half an hour to notice his loss -- by which time the money had gone.

Dear businessmen, please feel free to forget your euros in my toilet. Thanks.
