Woman Drags Naked Intruder By His Beard

‘Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned’…then there is this woman.

They say “never hit a woman”.  The reason is because women don’t just hit back, they keep hitting back until they are done with you. Plus it isn’t cool.

A 64-year-old woman fought off a neighbor and dragged him out of her house by his beard after he let himself into her Kansas City home and took his clothes off. The woman said she awoke about 12:50 a.m and found her 62-year-old neighbor standing over her naked, as she tried to throw him out, he allegedly grabbed her throat. She picked up a tape measure and bonked it against his head three times. He left.”

Moment’s later police found him outside crying. I think I’d cry too after a bonk on the head and a whooping like that.

Resistance in this situation worked out for the victim.  At 64 she decided she wasn’t going to sit back and allow the intruder to make advances on her in any way.

What is important to understand is in any attack situation the victim actually has a lot of control over the outcome if they react within the first 30-60 seconds. What the victim does in t

Disney Secretary Busted for Trying to Sell Company Secrets

Just because you work for a major organization that aims to entertain and make the young and old happy does not always mean that you are a good person. This pearl of wisdom was just reinforced by a story about a secretary at Disney who tried to sell the company’s financial secrets.

The culprit is Bonnie Hoxie, 34, who came up with this plan to sell inside information so she could buy designer bags and shoes. Hoxie, who worked for a Disney public relations executive was charged with conspiring with boyfriend Yonni Sebbag, 30, to sell financial secrets and documents. The California couple sent out anonymous letters to dozens of investment companies, which in turn contacted the FBI.

Trying to sell financial secrets of your employer is not really a good idea — especially if you work for Disney. This is a story that is ripe for media and blogger coverage — wait, that’s exactly what we are doing right now (smile). And, on

How Much for a Fake I.D.?

If you want a Puerto Rican identity, it’s about $6000 for a “tripleta,” which can be used to hide illegal immigrants. Other forms of identification vary in price. A United States passport can range from $950 to $1650 to as much as$5500.

In the U.S., we have as many as 200 different forms of identification circulating, including passports from state to state, plus another 14,000 birth certificates and 49 versions of the Social Security card. These are paper and plastic documents that can be recreated with a PC, scanner, printer, and laminator.

McAfee Avert Labs researcher Francois Paget found and posted an ad showing U.S. identities for $650 each. It’s not incredibly difficult to buy fake IDs online, but will they pass muster with technologies that look for tampering? Unfortunately, many will.

New Zealand Lawmaker Who Stole Baby’s Identity Resigns

While we tend to focus on identity theft stories in the U.S., sometimes an international story crosses our desks that warrants some attention. While New Zealand is mainly known for its recent earth quake, and the importation of the most entertaining Flight of the Concords , a story from New Zealand captured our attention and has us truly flummoxed.

Check this out. A New Zealand politician resigned from his party Friday after admitting he stole a dead baby’s identity to obtain a false passport 26 years ago. David Garrett, a lawmaker with the minor Act Party, made the surprise admission in Parliament this week, calling the identity theft a “harmless prank” when he was in his mid-20s. Check out the full AP story here.

All we can say is really?? Stealing a deceased baby’s identity is a “harmless prank”? The word is

Authorities say a device containing information for about 7,250 Rice faculty and staff, along with some students and retirees, was stolen last month.

Rice says there is no evidence that an unauthorized person has discovered or used the data to date. The
