This story oughtta make you laugh.
Man Accused of Stealing Boy's Socks
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A man accused of grabbing a 9-year-old boy, carrying him behind a Kroger store and stealing his socks has been arrested on kidnapping and robbery charges.
Maurice C. Teague told officers he has more than 500 pairs of children's socks.
Investigating officers said they couldn't confirm the number but said they found "a lot" of socks at Teague's home, police spokeswoman Sherry Mercurio said on Tuesday.
Police said Teague, 28, accosted the boy Friday evening and dropped a piece of identification as he fled. They arrested him at his home on Sunday, Mercurio said. He's jailed on $75,000 bond.
"It's odd, obviously — someone going after little boys' socks," Detective Guy Patete said.
Police said the child was on his way home from the grocery around 6:30 p.m. when Teague asked to buy his socks for $5. The boy refused again when Teague offered him $10, and Teague picked him up, ran behind the store and pulled the boy's shoes and socks off his feet.
Police said the boy picked up Teague's identification and his mother called police. Teague, who has no criminal record, at first denied the account but then admitted grabbing the boy, police said.
This is also placed in "The Craziest Criminal Stories" thread.

Eh, I wouldn't call it a fetish because it doesn't say anything about sexual urges associated with the socks. Could be he has an obsessive-compulsive need to collect something useless to him like socks (I've seen it with newspapers -- stacks and stacks of them!) or he's a unique breed of kleptomaniac -- steals for the sake of stealing (not just collecting) and steals something useless to him.
Basically, I don't see a use for the socks. I hope and pray it's not a fetish, or else they need to watch this guy closer.
And, LOL, let's not bring that thread back.

As a mother, that story is disturbing to say the least. As for reactivating the fetish thread, I say pass on that too! Nice try Stooge. Come up with another plan I say!

What we do need is a brand new idea for a topic. Remember Chad's recent topic - 2 Facts/1 a Lie? Something like that but I can't quite come up with one.....LOL
With so many creative members here, someone will have a new clever idea for one!

I have an idea, but I have to wait til I get home to post about it (no, it's not naughty -- just gotta look something up first).
