'Completely starkers' cop nabs would-be thief

An off-duty policeman did not let being naked stop him from nabbing a man from trying to steal his wife's car.

The Balcultha policeman was woken by his wife early in the morning when she heard noises outside their home.

"The officer rolled over and recognised the sound of a starter motor turning over," police magazine Ten One reported.

The officer leapt from bed "completely starkers".

He grabbed a torch and raced outside to grab the offender, who had managed only to roll the car a short distance out of the carport.

The offender bolted with the officer in hot pursuit, the magazine report.

The officer's wife, more suitably attired, came out to help and when the offender ran into her, she grabbed him by the collar.

The policemen arrived moments later and ordered the man to the ground.

"The offender...startled by the sight of a naked constable with just a torch coming towards him, took off."

Cyclist videos bike ride to work to highlight cycling dangers

A Christchurch teacher is going all out to educate road-users about the perils of cycling on New Zealand roads.

Cyclist Josh Campbell has grown so frustrated with other road users, he has taken to filming his misadventures to and from work and posted the footage on YouTube for the world to see.

“You're always telling people friends, family that you almost died on the way to work,” Mr Campbell said. “They have no idea, they don't believe you.”

The footage shows cars cutting him off and performing u-turns in front of him. One car even pulls out across an intersection while towing another vehicle behind - it misses him by just centimetres.

“I know they're not trying to kill me,” Mr Campbell commented. “It just seems to be the way it's working out.”
