Public Appeal: A Fried Egg Bandit Is Baffling Police in the Isles of Scilly

A fried egg has baffled police on the Isles of Scilly. How? By appearing at the crime scene of what seems, at first glance, like a standard shed break-in.

A policeman who identifies himself only as "Colin" took to Facebook to ask for help re: figuring out what all this egg business is about, after what looks like some kids broke into a shed to steal a football for a kickabout.

"Somebody has forced open the door to the Football Club shed at the playing field next to the school," read the statement Colin posted at the Isles of Scilly police Facebook page. "It is fairly evident that this was done sometime over Tuesday evening and most probably to get a football out for a kick around. Regrettably however the door was damaged in the process as can be seen in the picture with the bottom of the door split. There are few clues as to how this came to happen other than a fried egg was left at the scene.

"In case you missed any of the salient points above," Colin continued, "I'll summarise:
– Low key investigation with amicable resolution if admitted.
– A fried egg was left at the scene."

quote:

A man who fatally shot a sheriff's deputy who stopped him for speeding on a Georgia interstate was put to death yesterday for the 1998 killing, which was captured on the patrol car's video camera. Andrew Howard Brannan, 66, was pronounced dead at 8:33pm after a single-drug injection at the state prison in Jackson. He was convicted of the January 1998 shooting death of Kyle Dinkheller, a 22-year-old sheriff's deputy in Laurens County. "I extend my condolences to the Dinkheller family, especially Kyle's parents and his wife and his two children," Brannan said in a statement moments before the injection was administered. Lawyers for Brannan, a Vietnam veteran, had unsuccessfully argued to authorities to spare the inmate's life, saying the shooting was tied to mental illness directly traced to Brannan's military service.

Veterans Administration doctors had diagnosed Brannan with post-traumatic stress disorder in 1984 and determined that his condition had deteriorated to the point of 100% disability by 1990, the petition said. In the 1998 incident, Dinkheller stopped Brannan for driving 98mph and demanded he take his hands from his pockets during a traffic stop; officials said Brannan then began cursing, dancing in the street, and saying "shoot me" before he rushed the deputy. After a scuffle, Brannan pulled a high-powered rifle from his car and shot Dinkheller at least nine times. Police found Brannan the next day hiding under a camouflage tarp near his home. The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles on Monday denied a request to commute his sentence to life without parole.

Putting the 1200 pound barrels in the road is a nice touch too. Nothing shows your cause to the general public and gains their support better like blocking rush hour traffic for hours and putting things in the road that would likely cause serious injury or death! I'm sure they have a ton of new supporters.

I can kind of get it because I also get pissy and indignant at the slightest hint of prejudice or sexism at work. For instance- whenever people mention the brotherhood of police I immediately yell "or SISTERHOOD" and everyone pauses for a moment to silently reflect on their totally sexist behavior and feel embarrassed about it. One time an FTO called me "brother" so I glared at him for 5 solid seconds then reminded him that I am a woman and we are not even related.

I am winning friends and influencing people it's going really well.

I think that's the reason why no one wants to be partnered with me on patrol- because they are all very serious and professional and I'm basically a chilled out entertainer. It's probably really hard for them to concentrate/get any work done when they're around someone as fun as me all day.

Yeah, that must be the reason. They can't handle the fun.

Varies, usually I try to match the length of my buzz cut to the length of my mustache.

Real talk (everyone realizes my last few posts were not serious...right?): it's like waist length and sometimes a pain because it has to be tied up all the time, but on the upside no one ever recognizes me outside of work when my hair is down. Plus I don't have to use sunscreen on my scalp like all the dudes with shaved heads. Seems like a lot of upkeep to have a buzz cut, to be honest. Never understood the appeal. Guess now is a good time to ask- what's up with all the shaved heads, guys?

Went bald at 16. Thank god my head is well shaped. Now I would;n't grow hair if I could. Being bald is a piece of cake. Quick shave every few days to keep it looking sexy, some sunscreen now and then, a solid ball cap (Go Giants), and no such thing as bedhead, shampoo, or expensive haircuts for me anymore.

Growing the beard out was strange. First time I'd had any hair in a decade. Now I keep beard shampoo. That always impresses the ladies. Wait... no it doesn't.

Also I have a big head and its a pain trying to find hats that will stay on when I have hair
