A Guy Has to Cancel His Bachelor Party When His Best Man Embezzles the $10,000 Budget
This guy needs to find himself a new best friend FAST.
There's a 28-year-old guy named Ben Winchip from Swindon, England, and he's getting married next month. And for the past year, he and his friends have been planning a massive bachelor party in Las Vegas.
They all kicked in around $900 each, for a total of about $10,000, and handed it over to Ben's best man to handle everything.
But . . . it turns out the best man EMBEZZLED all of the cash and didn't plan anything. And the cops just arrested him for fraud. (His name wasn't released.)
As for Ben, he says now he and his OTHER friends are going to be doing an exponentially less epic bachelor party . . . one night out at a bar in Newcastle, England.
Ben's mom also set up a GoFundMe. . . and even though "cool bachelor party" isn't exactly the biggest hook to get people to donate, so far it's raised almost $2,000.

A Little League Manager Steals Money from the Team . . . Then Robs a Bank to Pay It Back
There's something about little league baseball that just constantly brings out the worst in adults.
There's a 52-year-old guy named Michael Walters from Pine Lake Park, New Jersey, and he's the manager of a traveling little league team for kids 10 and under. (There's no word on whether he has a kid on the team.)
Well . . . last Wednesday, the other coaches figured out he'd STOLEN about $6,500 from the team's fundraisers. They called the cops, who got in touch with Michael and told him he'd be arrested the next day.
So on Thursday morning, Michael went to a bank . . . and ROBBED IT to get enough money to pay back the team.
Michael deposited it in the team account . . . but the cops quickly connected the dots, and they matched the car from the bank robbery to Michael.
He was arrested for theft for the little league embezzling . . . and robbery for the bank.

A Hot Air Balloon Thief Is Busted . . . Flying the Stolen Balloon at a Hot Air Balloon Festival
Hot air balloon theft is a pretty UNCOMMON crime . . . and this is why. Those balloons have distinct patterns on them. And they're huge. So when you fly your stolen balloon, you REALLY give yourself away.
Someone stole a $30,000 hot air balloon from a guy in Bloomington, Indiana earlier this year.
And the thief was just busted . . . after flying it at a hot air balloon festival.
The festival was in Florida, and the cops there got a tip from the police in Indiana to keep their eyes out for the balloon. They also sent over a photo of what it looks like.
So the cops in Florida scoured the festival and spotted it.
The owner of the balloon decided not to press charges against the thief . . . he just wanted his balloon back. And a tow company is going to drive it back to Indiana for him.
