    INCREDIBLE CRIME FACTS
     
    �            In 2016, Chasti­ty Eug­i­na Hop­son “learned” on social media that
    meth and hero­in could be con­t­a­m­i­nat­ed with the Ebo­la strain. So, she
    did the respon­si­ble thing and gave her stash to the police.
     
    �            Jef­frey Dahmer’s neigh­bors in his Mil­wau­kee apart­ment build­ing
    said he was a real­ly nice and qui­et guy. He even occa­sion­al­ly gave his
    neigh­bors some “home­made” sand­wich­es.
     
    �            In a fic­tion­al “crime caper” sto­ry, the read­er or view­er knows the
    iden­ti­ty of the crim­i­nal, with the focus being on the “heist.” Capers
    are gen­er­al­ly lighter and less vio­lent than a straight crime sto­ry.
     
    �            Con­trary to com­mon media por­tray­als, most bur­glar­ies take place
    between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Pro­fes­sion­al crooks strike when
    home­own­ers are at work or school.
     
    �            Near­ly every roy­al tomb from ancient Egypt’s New King­dom (ca.
    1,550–1,075 BCE) was plun­dered. In most cas­es, it was the orig­i­nal
    tomb builders who took every­thing.
     
    �       Stud­ies show that only about half of all seri­ous vio­lent crimes in the
    US — which include rape, rob­bery, and aggra­vat­ed assault — are
    report­ed.
     
    �       The “Flori­da Man” inter­net meme — where strange crimes com­mit­ted
    by men from Flori­da are humor­ous­ly show­cased — became pop­u­lar in
    2013. It then made a come­back in 2020.
     
    �            On March 18, 1990, thieves made off with 13 works of art from
    the  Isabel­la Stew­art Gard­ner Muse­um  in  Boston, Mass­a­chu­setts
    val­ued at $600 mil­lion by the late 2000s. No arrests have been made,
    although known mob­sters are sus­pect­ed.
     
    �            Most of the world’s most indus­tri­al­ized nations have abol­ished
    exe­cu­tion as the top crim­i­nal pun­ish­ment. The US, Japan, and
    Sin­ga­pore are three notable excep­tions.
     
    �            In 2010, a Flori­da crew of five crim­i­nals led by Jose David Diaz-
    Mar­rero stole some vas­es that con­tained what they believed were
    crushed up pills. After snort­ing the sub­stance, they lat­er learned it was
    the ash­es of a man and two great Danes.
     
    �       The Romans built the Mamer­tine Prison in the 7th cen­tu­ry BCE as a
    place of tem­po­rary deten­tion. The Chris­t­ian saints’ Peter and Paul
    were held there.
     
    �       Necrophil­ia is pun­ish­able by death in the Philip­pines, but due to legal
    loop­holes, it’s tech­ni­cal­ly legal in many US states.
     
    �       Moham­mad Ashan was a Tal­iban ter­ror­ist with $100 on his head. In
    2012, Ashan attempt­ed to turn him­self in to get the reward but was
    arrest­ed instead.
     
    �       Accord­ing to the FBI, Anchor­age, Alas­ka ranked sec­ond among US
    cities in crime rate. The cold weath­er appar­ent­ly doesn’t keep the
    crim­i­nals in check.
     
    �       From 1986 to 2013, Christo­pher Thomas Knight (born 1965) lived as
    a her­mit in rur­al Maine. He bur­glar­ized homes and camps
    occa­sion­al­ly, which is how he was even­tu­al­ly caught.
     
    �       Mex­i­co comes in at a mod­er­ate­ly safe 44th over­all in terms of crime
    rate. But in 2019, the five cities with the high­est homi­cide rates were
    all in Mex­i­co.
     
    �            Ancient Egypt­ian crim­i­nals could be lashed or even have their nose
    and ears ampu­tat­ed before being sent to work in a gran­ite quar­ry.
    Tomb rob­bers were often impaled.
