He says the victim kept track of his cloud account and later notified deputies that a selfie of the suspect showed up on his account. The suspect appears to be in his 20s.

Quick says the theft highlights the importance of paying attention to the information that people put online.

Police: Woman pulled dentures from bartender's mouth

DUDLEY, Mass. Caterina Froio-Chaput, of Oxford, was released on $100 bail after pleading not guilty Nov. 6 to assault and battery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. A Massachusetts woman is accused of yanking the false teeth out of another woman's mouth and throwing a beer bottle at her.

When police found the teeth in her pocket, she said they had been planted there.

100-day-old panda triplets each 11 pounds with 2 teeth

BEIJING The world's only surviving giant panda triplets were doing well as they turned 100 days old Nov. 5.

Each weighs more than 11 pounds, up from just over 3.5 ounces 100 grams at birth. They started teething at around 80 days old and have two small teeth each.

The cubs were born on July 29 within four hours, the female cub first and then her brothers.

Physical exams show the cubs' health to be ideal, said Dong Guixin, general manager of Chimelong Safari Park in Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong province.

Starting Nov. 5, the cubs will be displayed to visitors for limited times. The cubs are also taking turns living with their mother for five-day cycles.

"It is imperative to help the triplets form a good relationship with their mother and keep them in close contact," Dong said. "We hope that they can live together if the cubs grow healthily."

According to the park, four births of panda triplets have been recorded, but in each of the previous instances, at least one died due to physical defects or being underweight.

The cubs haven't been named, but the park is seeking suggestions from the public.

L.A. Zoo sees first hippo birth in 26 years

LOS ANGELES The Los Angeles Zoo received a real treat for Halloween — the birth of its first hippopotamus in 26 years. It was a bit of trick, too, because the mother was on birth control.

The zoo says the baby was born Oct. 31. It was somewhat of a surprise, but staffers had noticed the mother hippo gained weight, which made them suspect she was pregnant.

Veteranarians haven't determined the sex of the new hippo. But they say the baby appears to be doing well and is bonding with mom.

Media got to see the newborn Nov. 4 in its public debut.

The mother, 10-year-old Mara, came to the zoo in December from Topeka, Kansas. The father is a 3-year-old named Adhama, who arrived from the San Diego Zoo last year.

Elvis Presley impersonator Bruce Borders is returning to the Indiana House two years after he was unseated in 2012.

The Republican candidate defeated Democratic incumbent Bionca Gambill in the Nov.<TH>4 election.

Borders formerly represented southwest Indiana in the House before losing to former Rep. Kreg Battles in a redrawn district. He is best known for the bushy sideburns, solid crooning and array of flashy jumpsuits he uses in his Elvis act.

Before his first run for the Indiana House in 2002, Borders was featured on national television as the crooning mayor of Jasonville. He still performs, and his website lists a show in Franklin, Indiana, in August.

81-year-old charged with looting tangerine grove

LAKELAND, Fla. An 81-year-old man picked thousands of tangerines — 11 truckloads worth — and then sold the stolen bounty at a nearby market, deputies in Florida say.

Herman Southall was charged Nov. 5 with 11 counts of transporting citrus without a certificate, grand theft of more than 2,000 pieces of citrus and trespassing. He is being held at the Polk County Jail on an $8,500 bond.

Southall and another man were found by deputies that day picking fruit in a Dundee grove after a Sheriff's Office helicopter pilot saw them.

Deputies say the two had picked more than four rows of Sunburst tangerines. The report said they were preparing to load the fruit into Southall's truck.

Police: Man held; teller wasn't fooled by fake $20s

KITTANNING, Pa. A western Pennsylvania man has been charged with passing counterfeit $20 bills at a yard sale run by the wrong woman — a bank teller, state police say.

Trooper Terry Geibel says the teller is trained to know the look and feel of real money.

The Kittanning Leader-Times reports that Gregory Douglas, 40, of Kittanning was charged with forgery, a felony, and theft by deception, a misdemeanor. He remained jailed Nov. 7 on previous counterfeiting and other charges.

Amy Miller, the teller at Citizens Bank in Kittanning, tells the newspaper the bills weren't printed on "money paper. Compared to the other twenties in my bag, it was really white."

The trooper says the money was printed on resume paper.

Bad first date: Woman takes Oregon man's wallet

They say a 23-year-old man met a woman for the first time in person Nov. 3 after they talked online. She hopped into his vehicle at a drive-through restaurant in Wilsonville, south of Portland, and suggested he buy her a milkshake.

Sgt. Dan Kraus says the man got two $1 bills in change and put them into his wallet, which he left on the center console. Kraus says the woman grabbed the wallet, got out of the car and ran off.

The Oregonian reports the man called 911 and provided the woman's cellphone number. Officers called her to arrange a meeting at the same restaurant.

They arrested her early Nov.<TH>4 and recovered the wallet — with the two $1 bills still inside.

Deer pays startling visit to N.Y. homeowner

STRYKERSVILLE, N.Y. A western New York homeowner says she awoke to find an unwelcome visitor in her living room — a deer.

Wyoming County Sheriff Deputy Matthew Sage responded to the homeowner's call earlier this week. He tells The Buffalo News the young buck had crashed through a window and was standing near a couch when he arrived at the rural Strykersville home early Nov. 3.

Before Sage could get inside the house, the deer jumped out through another window and trotted off into the woods.

California man reunited with lost dog after 7 months

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. A California man has been reunited after seven months with the dog who vanished seven months ago while the owner was in southern Oregon for fire training. A microchip made the difference.

The Herald and News reports that the female pit bull named P.J. disappeared from a fenced-in yard while Jess Grillo of San Diego was staying in the Klamath Falls area in April.

Grillo placed ads and alerts in print and social media but had no luck.

Gale McMahon of Klamath County Animal Control says Grillo would drive up to Klamath Falls whenever a new lead emerged, often staying overnight in his car.

Last week, McMahon says someone brought P.J. in to register her. But it turns out that Grillo originally adopted his dog from the Klamath Animal Shelter in 2011 and she had a microchip that linked to his contact information.

Grillo and P.J. were soon reunited. McMahon says it was an "extremely satisfying day."

No joke: Guy drives into bar, seeks drink

NEW BRIGHTON, Pa. Police say it's no joke: A guy drives into a western Pennsylvania bar and asks the owner for a drink.

New Brighton police say the trouble is that Gordon Milligan, 36, of Pulaski Township, literally drove into Wooley Bully's bar on Nov. 2.

Police say they found Milligan in his wrecked pickup and charged him with drunken driving, reckless endangerment and other charges.

Online court records don't list an attorney for Milligan, who remained in the Beaver County Jail on Nov.<TH>5. He faces a preliminary hearing Nov. 11.

New Brighton is about 25 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.

Woman loses wedding ring in Halloween candy

MESA, Ariz. An Arizona woman is searching for her wedding ring after she says she accidentally gave it away with Halloween candy.

KNXV-TV reports Mesa resident Brooklin Yazzie says she mistakenly handed out the ring Oct. 31 during a mix-up.

Yazzie says she placed her wedding ring in a candy jar while helping her daughters carve pumpkins, and when the night became hectic she absentmindedly dumped the contents of the jar into the candy bag.

She says there were also plastic rings inside the candy bag.

Yazzie says she is hoping someone has the ring because it isn't worth much money but has more value to her.

Maine town bans roosters from small lots

CAPE ELIZABETH, Maine Elvis the rooster has left town.

The Cape Elizabeth Town Council on Nov. 6 in a 5-2 vote banned residents from keeping roosters on lots smaller than 40,000-square feet, or just under an acre.

The ordinance was passed in response to complaints from neighbors of a family that owned the loud rooster dubbed Elvis in a neighborhood of densely packed homes.

Councilor James Sherman says roosters don't belong in heavily populated areas. The Portland Press Herald reports that Sherman points out that while 60 percent of lots in town are smaller than 40,000-square feet, they represent only 11< percent of the total land area.

Councilors who voted against the ban worried about the town losing its agricultural heritage.

The family that owns Elvis says he has already been given away.

Company denies man lost job over Playgirl spread

HARTFORD, Conn. A company that helps businesses handle personnel issues denies it forced one if its Connecticut employees out of his job after it was discovered he'd posed nude in Playgirl magazine.

Durham resident Daniel Sawka filed a federal civil rights lawsuit last year against ADP Inc., of Roseland, New Jersey, alleging sexual harassment. The company responded Nov. 3.

Sawka worked as a sales manager. He says he was subjected to jokes and ridicule at work after at least one co-worker discovered he'd posed nude in the 1990s in a lumberjack-themed spread for Playgirl and found the photos online. He says the conditions became so intolerable he was forced to leave the job in 2011.

He's seeking damages for lost pay.

The company says in its response it "exercised reasonable care to prevent and correct promptly any alleged harassing behavior."

Dutch to public: Don't pee on the royal palace

AMSTERDAM If you're caught short on Amsterdam's historic Dam Square, the Dutch government has a message for you: Don't pee on the palace.

The Dutch royal family uses the stately Royal Palace in downtown Amsterdam as a working palace, not a residence. But the building's dark arches provide a favored spot for urination, often at night, out of sight of police who regularly patrol the palace vicinity.

After a multimillion-euro renovation ended in late 2011, people began urinating against the palace's sandstone facade. That prompted authorities to put up a fence.

But the Interior Ministry on Nov. 5 called the fence "unworthy" of the historic location. It is now installing lights and movement sensors to deter people from relieving themselves. The government also warned that peeing in public is punishable by a $175 fine.

If those measures don't work, authorities are considering installing a urinal near the palace that rises out of the ground at night and sinks back below the sidewalk during the day.

Other possible moves include a raised set of steps featuring a "pop-up" fence or fine mesh screens to block off access to the arches after dark.

Michigan couple marry after losing 380 pounds

WYANDOTTE, Mich. A Detroit-area couple who met in a support group for weight loss surgery patients exchanged wedding vows after losing a collective 380 pounds.

Crysta Danaher, 34, of Windsor, Ontario, and Bill Anderson, 44, of Allen Park, were married Nov. 1 at Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital, where they had bariatric surgery and later met, the Detroit Free Press reported. Anderson has gone from 459 pounds to about 250 pounds since his May 2009 operation. Danaher has lost about 180 pounds since her 2009 procedure.

"We were friends first," Danaher said. "My mom knew him first and always said,'I wish you'd meet a guy like Bill.' He grew on me. I guess I grew on him, too."

Anderson said the surgery and support group have "changed everything" about his life. He has run two full marathons and more than a dozen half-marathons.

The two were married by their yoga instructor in the room where they met. The Saturday ceremony marked exactly three years since their first date.

The Andersons were surrounded by about 100 family members and friends as they said their vows in brightly colored sneakers. They will spend their honeymoon in Cancun, where they admit they might cheat a little on their strict diets.

"We're probably both going to be hurting on the honeymoon because we'll try things we shouldn't," Danaher said.

Oops: UN head means Austria, thanks Australia

VIENNA It was clearly a slip of the tongue, but many Austrians will not be amused because they hear it all too often: Expressing his gratitude for the hosting of a major conference in Vienna, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon offered his thanks to — Australia.

Ban recovered Monday about 20 minutes into his news conference on the sidelines of the meeting focused on landlocked developing countries. Tipped off by aides, he apologized, noting he knows full well that there are "no kangaroos in Austria."

Ban was addressing a pet Austrian peeve: Tourists often say Australia when they mean Austria. Cashing in on the mistake, most Vienna souvenir shops stack t-shirts with a crossed-out picture of the bouncy marsupial and the slogan "There are no kangaroos in Austria."

Bikers cancel party after police seize bar

No bar, no party

COPENHAGEN, Denmark Members of a biker gang have called off a planned party after officers raided a new club house in western Denmark and took away the bar that had been stolen from a nearby workshop, Danish police say.

Anders Uhrskov of the Aarhus police said Nov. 1 that officers found the piece of furniture when raiding a house in Lystrup, northeast of Denmark's second largest city, as part of "our preventive strategy" against organized crime groups so "they never doubt that we keep an eye on them."

Police also seized a "minor amount" of drugs and a gold chain.

Gang members declined to comment, and it was unclear whether the party would be rescheduled.
