oh, so they got there too late to catch the actual thief so they turned to a guy who they could bring in right then and there. who wants to bet that they never even tried to look for the thief?

Reply to TIL that the first time the Albanian language was mentioned in History was a witness of a crime reporting he had heard someone yelling in Albanian. by alexmikli

Reply to TIL That in 1774 James Cook charted Sandy Island off the coast of New Caledonia. Despite its' inclusion in official maps and charts for over two centuries in 2012 an Australian survey vessel proved the island had never actually existed and may have been a 'pumice raft' floating in the area. by GentPc
wouldn’t something like Google Earth have confirmed that much earlier? what the hell did that location look like from a satellite if no one bothered to say “wait, there’s no island here.”
