A woman in Seattle was in for quite the surprise when she returned home Friday evening. At around 7:15 pm, she arrived at her home to find that a window had been broken. 

The woman quickly realized that an unknown male was inside of her home and he was the reason for the smashed window. She was the victim of a breaking and entering and the burglar was still there. 

She called the police quickly, and officers announced their presence when they arrived on scene and ordered the man to leave the house. When he did not comply, officers stormed the home. 

The burglar was found in a bathroom, but it’s what the burglar was doing in the bathroom when he was found that will make you shake your head.

A Bangladesh boy who accidentally locked himself inside a shipping container during a game of hide-and-seek was discovered six days later in another country.

The 15-year-old, identified only by his first name, Fahim, played hide-and-seek with friends in the port city of Chittagong on Jan. 11 when he hid inside a shipping container and fell asleep. The container was then shipped to West Port, Malaysia, on a commercial ship. The boy was discovered on Jan. 17.

Officials were initially concerned Fahim ended up roughly 2,300 miles from his home country after being a victim of human trafficking. Still, an investigation determined he wandered into the container during a game of hide-and-seek.

Have you ever made a purchase on the spur of the moment while drunk, only to wake up with crippling anxiety and regret? You certainly have, but I wonder if you've ever offered around $60,000 for a Mr. Blobby outfit.

While we have no hard evidence that inebriation was a factor, we must conclude that some anonymous fool did. The purchase has been canceled as well.

The recognizable British character from the '90s, who was basically a big pink, polka dotty freak, made his debut in the 'Gotcha' segment of the popular BBC show Noel's House Party, in which celebrities were subjected to some good old pranking.

A seller on eBay started an auction last week to sell a Mr. Blobby costume that had been sitting in the closet for years.

Since it was originally constructed for a foreign adaptation of Noel's House Party that was subsequently scrapped, the costume had been collecting dust for decades.

A starting bid of £39 was set for the costume, but the bidding quickly got out of hand.
