The definition of disgruntled: An ex-employee is suspected to have shared his former boss’s phone number on a Craigslist sex ad. The boss told Norcross Police that he has been receiving harassing calls on his work number from people answering a personal ad offering “best [oral sex] in town,” according to the police report. The ad was removed, but the calls kept coming.

Hair burglars! A couple of men were seen on surveillance video smashing through the glass door of a beauty supply store and stealing hair extensions. The men, who had their shirts pulled over their heads, drove up in a car in front of the Beauty & Beyond in unincorporated Stone Mountain, pulled out a cinder block and tossed it through the glass. No value was placed on the stolen hair. Does that mean they're priceless?
