We’ve often heard of thieves taking license plates, but usually it’s to get away with a crime, not to create a collection.

A Long Island man purchased OBAMA vanity plates, either with optimism or foresight, shortly after the president-elect’s victory in the January South Carolina primary.

But would-be thieves have tried repeatedly to pry the plates from his vehicle, according to the New York Post, even one who was caught by the car’s owner while in the process.

Great Neck, N.Y., resident Jonathan Lifschutz said he has removed the vanity plates from his vehicle and now they ride around with him in the comfort of the car’s interior.

A fan for life — and beyond

Sports fans come in all sizes, and now there’s a casket to fit the bill for fans of the Boston Red Sox. We recently read a report of a casket manufactured by Eternal Image of Michigan that features the team logo on both its exterior and interior. We presume that’s so both the deceased and the mourners can know where one’s heart lies.

A funeral home director in Rockland, Mass., told The Boston Globe that it’s not unusual for families to want their loved one buried with favorite items, including Red Sox paraphernalia. This is just expanding the options, we suppose.

The first purchasers chose Red Sox No. 0001 for their father and didn’t hesitate at the $3,000 price tag for dear old dad.

Should have swallowed his pride and fessed up

A young thief didn’t want to get caught with stolen goods, so he swallowed his ill-gotten gains. Authorities say an 18-year-old in Naples, Fla., stole a pair earrings from a JCPenney store at his local mall, and when approached by the security officer, gulped not in fear but to get the gems down his gullet with a long drink of water.

No indication if the earrings were recovered.

We don’t think we want to know.
