BURNING LOVE: A Thonotosassa, Fla., man came home early and found his live-in girlfriend in the company of another man, and so, police said, he doused them with gasoline and set the house on fire.
The would-be victims were not injured, but the house burned down. He was charged with arson.

I FEEL PRETTY, OH SO PRETTY! Police in Highgrove, Calif., went to the home of a man they suspected of stealing a credit card and were surprised to find lots and lots of ladies panties. They said the thief had used the stolen credit card to buy at least $5,000 worth of women's clothes including a large amount of lingerie.

THAT'S 'ACQUITTED CRACK MAN' TO YOU: A policeman patrolling the streets of Boynton Beach, Fla., spotted a man on the sidewalk he knew had been found not guilty of selling cocaine a few years earlier. So the cop followed the guy along in the cruiser, calling him a "crack man" over the vehicle's loudspeaker. The officer was reprimanded.

SO HE HAD A GOOD EXCUSE: A landlord in Lecenec, Slovakia, forced open the door of a tenant's apartment to evict the man because he hadn't paid his rent for two years. He discovered that it was because the man had been dead all that time.

OPEN WIDE: Two man were arrested in Florida for practicing dentistry without a license after police caught them gluing gold inlays to people's teeth.
The men sold the jewelry at flea markets, and worked out of the back of their 10-year-old car.
