Letter Of Note of the Day: A 16-year-old burglar who wrote a vicious unapologetic apology letter to his victims has become the poster child of a new crime-fighting campaign by the West Yorkshire Police.
“To be honest I’m not bothered or sorry about the fact that I burgled your house,” wrote the teenager in the typo-riddled letter he was forced to write. “Basicly [sic] it was your fault anyways [sic].” He goes on to list the “dumb mistakes” the family made that compelled him to invade their home.
“The contents of the letter are disgusting but it does highlight the cold and dispassionate way burglars select a property to target,” says Chief Inspector Melanie Jones.
Despite efforts by Leeds City Council to reduce burglary incidents, the number of break-ins reported in the past year was the third highest in England and Wales. Ch. Insp. Jones hopes the letter will motivate residents to make their homes more secure.

Note Of Note of the Day: From the Associated Press’ Washington-based Assistant Chief of Bureau for photos, J. David Ake:
A protester handed President Barack Obama a note while shaking hands along a rope line in New Hampshire today. Photographer Charlie Dharapak smartly zoomed in so you can read the note for yourself.
Transcript follows for those who can’t:
Mr. President: Over 4000 peaceful protesters / have been arrested / While banksters continue / to destroy the American economy (with impunity) / You must stop the assault / on our 1st ammendment rights [sic]. / Your silence sends a message / that police brutality is ac(ceptable) / Banks got bailed out. / We got sold out.
