Man Buries Neighbor's Car In Snow: 

A Queens, New York man recently buried his neighbor's SUV in snow because of a dispute. The neighbor's Nissan Rogue was completely covered on both sides.  The man's actions were captured on camera.  The dispute started because the Queen's man does not like his neighbor's barking dog. 

 

 

Cops Called Over Sticky Bun Dispute: 

The Williamsport, Pennsylvania police were recently called after a pair of siblings were threatening one another over "who ate the last sticky bun." No weapons or alcohol were involved in the domestic dispute. Details of the confrontation have not been publicly released, so it is unknown if any arrests were made.
