A New York woman didn’t want to waste the reservation on a restaurant for the wedding that she called off, so she used the date for a charity function instead.

After she called off the engagement she decided to take the reservation and arrange a charity event for a local soup kitchen. The evening cost $100 per plate and there were auctions for dresses, and services from stylists.

The event raised $10,000.

No word on whether the guy she dumped bought a plate.

76 drivers in Pittsburgh, PA were cited– in one day– for using the high occupancy lane and not having more than 2 people in the vehicle.

Police remind folks:  dogs and other pets do not count as people when it comes to the HOV lane.

Story

Crooks in Irvine, CA robbed a gas station with a 3-foot long tree limb.

The first guy came in pretending he wanted to buy tires. Then his buddy walked in with the huge branch.

A skinny inmate inmate escaped a Tennessee jail by “shimmying” between the bars and using a blanket to climb the barbed wire fence.

He is a suspect in church burglaries in Tennessee.

A Washington took his girlfriend to the edge of a pier to propose.
