“My goal is to not only raise money for homeless people, raise money for the Coast Guard, raise money for the police department, raise money for the fire de- partment,” Baluchi said.
Metro News reported that the 47-year-old man cited “un- justly withheld payments” (about 5 million euros in to- tal, he claimed) and “frustra- tion” for his destructive act. He also damaged the build- ing’s garages.

This was not the first time he had been rescued after going to sea in a hydro bub- ble.
When he was finished, he got in his car and drove away, but later turned himself in.
Robbing The Dead
Behaving Badly
Amanda Lee, 50, of Crewe, Cheshire, England, has been thumbing her nose at conven- tion since the 1990s, urinat- ing and defecating anywhere she chooses in the town’s open spaces, CheshireLive reported. Finally, the Crewe Magistrate’s Court issued a CBO (criminal behavior or- der) against her on July 12, which prohibits her from having alcohol in an open container; using abusive lan- guage or threatening behavior in public; contacting police without a genuine emergen- cy; relieving herself in pub- lic; and entering one specific street, Preece Court.
Two girls, 16 and 17 years old, were walking to a gas sta- tion in Medina Valley, Texas, on July 26 when they noticed something in a drainage ditch. It turned out to be a dead man, whom investigators believe hanged himself from a rail- ing using “what appeared to be a shirt,” Fox News report- ed. When the girls came upon the body, they called a friend, who called 911.
But before officers ar- rived on the scene, the girls allegedly helped themselves to the dead man’s gold neck- lace, documenting the theft on Snapchat. The video was anonymously sent to the Bexar County Sheriff’s of- fice, and deputies charged both with theft from a human corpse — a felony. A friend of the 17-year-old told of- ficers she stole it because it “matched her fashion style.”
Police constable Alex Barker said Lee “has per- sistently shown no consider- ation at all for the actions her offending has had on others. There comes a point where you have to say enough is enough.”
Built On Revenge
The criminal penalty for breaching the CBO is a five- year prison sentence.
A construction worker in Blumberg, Germany, used an excavator to tear the bal- conies off a block of new apartments on July 28 after not being paid, causing about $600,000 worth of damage.
