Fraud Update & Fartistes

Sony Vaio fraud update.

Raul's $10,000 fraud was perpetrated by a guy who wasn't a burglar. He ordered the goods and arranged for next day delivery between 9.00am and 10.00am. He obviously thought that Raul would be out at that time. All he had to do was stand in the garden and when the delivery guy appeared, he would say, "Is that for me? I'm just on my way out," sign for the parcels and he's off out of it.

Unfortunately Raul works a lot from home so when the delivery guy appeared, Raul was still at home and signed for the goods himself.

Problem, the computers are now inside the house. The guy is not a burglar and doesn't attempt to break in. He waits until Raul leaves and then phones for a locksmith to open the front door for him. He has proof that he is Raul just in case the delivery man had asked for proof of identity.

He shows the locksmith the proof of identity but the burglar alarm goes off while the locksmith is drilling the lock. The guy doesn't know how to turn off the alarm and does a runner, so the locksmith phones the police.

Right now the computers are with the police who also have a description of the guy who claimed that he was Raul and a description of the vehicle that he was driving. Raul also has every approach to his property being captured on video.

Le Petomane

There seems to be much interest in farting. The greatest "Fartiste" was Le Petomane 1857 - 1945 who worked in Paris at the Moulin Rouge. There is a film, made for Channel 4 that starred Leonard Rossiter as the great man himself. It is downloadable from here. I laughed my socks, or should that read pants off at it last night.

For those of you who claim that your partners are expert at expelling air from the nether regions, download and show them how it should really be done.
