Scooby-Doo, where are you? Cops want to know
Ruh-roh! A cartoonish crook in a Scooby-Doo costume broke into a convenience store in Alabama, and police are now asking for the public's help to solve the mystery. The burglar was caught on camera in the full-body costume — complete with doggy ears — and a mask to cover his face when he broke into the Quick Stop on Highway 82 in Duncanville early Sunday, according to the Tuscaloosa Police Department. Police said the thief activated the store's security alarm around 3:45 a.m. but ran off before officers arrived. Advertisement He made off with cash and change 'but no snacks,' police quipped in a Facebook post. A man dressed as Scooby-Doo robbed a convenience store last weekend, police said. Facebook/ Police said he stole cash and coins but no snacks. Facebook/ Advertisement 'Anyone who can help us unmask this villain may call 205-349-2121 or submit an anonymous tip on our app,' police said. The thief delighted netizens, who responded with their own Scooby-Doo jokes. 'Have you interviewed Fred, Daphne, Velma and Shaggy to see if they were waiting for Scooby in the Mystery Machine?' a woman said jokingly in the comments of the police department's post. Another person wrote, 'When he gets caught and his mask is taken off he's gonna say if it weren't for you and those meddling kids.' Advertisement One woman quipped, 'Instead of an ankle monitor can we do a shock collar instead?' A poser added, 'Scooby Doo always taught us that the real monsters are the people.'

'Trump can say bye to that Nobel Peace Prize - you can't take one mid-airstrike'
In a twist worthy of a political soap opera, Pakistan nominated Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize, only to slam him harder than a bunker-busting bomb, less than 24 hours later, for attacking Iran. Islamabad had heaped praise on the convicted felon for brokering a truce between India and Pakistan after the Kashmir massacre, calling his role a 'decisive diplomatic intervention'. But by Sunday, the tone had flipped faster than a reality show confession. After Trump launched airstrikes on Iran, Pakistan condemned the attack as a 'serious violation of international law' and scolded him for undermining the very peace they'd just tried to reward. Turns out, it's hard to hand someone a Peace Prize while they're mid-airstrike. *** A Texas woman is behind bars after allegedly marrying her ex-boyfriend... without him. Kristin Marie Spearman, 36, is facing felony stalking charges after police say she convinced a pastor to sign off on a wedding sans groom, then filed the certificate with the county clerk - all without her ex's knowledge. The 42-year-old man told police he discovered he was hitched when he found a copy of the marriage certificate in a surprise package from Spearman. Turns out he thought the wedding was off. She apparently thought otherwise and made it official. *** The Tuscaloosa Police Department has a mystery on its hands, and this time, it's not just meddling kids. According to officers, someone dressed head-to-paw in a full Scooby-Doo costume broke into the Quick Stop store in Duncanville over the weekend. The shaggy suspect then made off with cash and coins... but, bafflingly, no (Scooby) snacks. Cops shared surveillance stills of the cartoon caper and asked the public for help identifying the culprit. They're hoping it doesn't take a whole Mystery Machine crew to crack the case. No word yet on whether Fred, Velma or Daphne were involved. *** Graduation at Plainview-Old Bethpage JFK High School this weekend might look more like a glitch in the Matrix - 30 pairs of twins are crossing the stage among 500 pupils. The suburban Long Island school has become a hotspot of double trouble, with some of the twins knowing each other since nappies, thanks to a local twins club. Many still go on family holidays together. *** New York has battled rats since the 1700s, and judging by recent sightings, the rodents are winning. Enter Suzanne Reisman, the city's unlikely rat whisperer. She runs the Garbage & Rats in NYC walking tour, bravely guiding tourists through Gotham's grimiest corners with facts, humour, and zero fear of twitchy tails. Think of her as a Pied Piper but with hand sanitiser. *** Breckenridge ski staff got a frosty surprise during post-season cleanup - 780 pounds of rubbish emerged from the melting snow, including a vintage iPod Nano and even a message in a bottle. Frozen in time, the haul was found during the resort's Mountain Cleanup Day. Turns out, what happens on the slopes... sticks around until spring.

Hey you on the red carpet: What's your favorite car in a movie or television show?
IndyStar posed a single question to several celebrities and athletes who walked the Indy 500 red carpet Sunday: What is your favorite car you've seen in a movie or show? Here are some of their answers: Terry Crews (retired NFL player and actor from 'Everybody Hates Chris' and 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine'): Herbie from 'The Love Bug': 'It was cute. It was wonderful. It was for family. It's kind of like me,' Crews said with a laugh. Kathy Ireland (actress; designer; entrepreneur; and model for Sports Illustrated, Vogue; and Cosmopolitan): the magical flying car from 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.' DeForest Buckner (Colts defensive tackle): James Bond's Aston Martins. Kat McNamara (singer and actress known for 'Shadowhunters'): the Mystery Machine from 'Scooby-Doo' and the Millennium Falcon from 'Star Wars.' 'I'm just a big old nerd,' McNamara said. 'Those were the ones that I think were iconic for me growing up as a kid. Full disclosure: When I'm at Comic Con and there's a Mystery Machine or Millennium Falcon, I will go see it and sit in it and hang out.' (Editor's note: People may disagree as to whether the Falcon is a car, but it's race day and we're having fun, so we're counting it.) Matt Barr (actor from 'Hatfields & McCoys' 'Blood & Treasure,' and 'Walker'): the Shelby Cobra from 1995's 'Bad Boys.' 'There's something about those kind of classic cars — there's a danger to them, you know … you just drive and the universe decides what happens,' Barr said. Katie Feeney (social media content creator who has covered major sporting events): the Batmobile. 'I love superheroes, and I love any Marvel … type of movies,' Feeney said. Natalie Grant (Grammy-nominated vocalist who sang the national anthem at the 2025 Indy 500): Herbie from 'The Love Bug.' It was 'cute, felt like it was your friend, felt like it loved you. It was just like, how could you not love it?' Grant said. Ephraim Owens (musician, composer and bandleader from Indianapolis who sang 'America the Beautiful' at the 2025 Indy 500): 'My son would hate me if I didn't say this, but 'Lightning McQueen' wins every time.' Owens said his son loves that McQueen is 'really, really fast and he's funny. And he loves saying 'Ka chow.'' Michael Evans Behling (actor, known for 'All American' who attended Columbus North High School in Indiana): the Batmobile Tumbler from 'The Dark Knight.' 'I love its versatility and the fact that it can blow things up but also go silent,' Behling said. Reggie Wayne (former Colts player and now wide receivers coach): 'Eleanor,' the 1967 Ford Mustang from 'Gone in 60 Seconds'.
