This is about the best story I have heard in years:
A truck sold by a Kansas dealership cannot be taken from the lot by its new owner because a family of robins is living atop one of the vehicle’s tires.
The relatively novel situation has gained widespread attention after the dealership in the Kansas community of Olathe wrote about it on its Facebook page – and it perhaps taught many that active robin nests are protected by federal law from the US.
A few weeks earlier, employees at the Olathe Ford Lincoln dealership discovered a robin building a nest atop a tire of the truck in question. The bird laid four stunningly blue eggs over the next few days, the dealership wrote in a 14 May Facebook post.

A forty-year rape and murder of a 22-year-old Virginia Beach, Virginia, woman has resulted in an arrest thanks to genetic genealogy.
Snip:
Police announced this week the arrest of 66-year-old Charles Randell Berry, who was taken into custody in Connecticut and charged with capital murder and rape in connection to Walls’ death.
Investigators said Walls and Berry did not know each other before the night she was killed in May 1986.
“This case never left the hearts and minds of our detectives,” Virginia Beach Deputy Chief Jeffery Wilkerson said during a news conference. “We are extremely confident we have the right person.”
Walls’ body was discovered on May 15, 1986, in a field near Ferry Plantation Road in Virginia Beach. The killing shocked the community and remained unsolved for decades despite extensive investigative efforts.
