Don’t you hate it when your boat gets stolen? It’s always the worst part of my weekend when that happens. The “Land Shark” was stolen off in New Buffalo, Michigan over the weekend. An employee of the company they hired to clean the boat was on board when a man reportedly posed as a family member, then drove off with it. There is reason to believe that these men traveled through Lake Michigan down to the Mississippi River and out of the country.

The family is focused on their safety since their personal information that was on the boat is also at risk.

Ladies, it can’t be easy being you. After a century of narrowing the drinking gap, women have finally caught up to men when it comes to pounding brews back. Unfortunately, whereas most men drink for pleasure. And the latest U.S. data from 2019 shows that women in their teens and early 20s reported drinking and getting drunk at higher rates than their male peers — in some cases for the first time since researchers began measuring such behavior. This behavior is often linked to women and their worsening mental health, which has been likely been made worse due to COVID-19.

With Illinois officially reopened and many other states in the same position, employers are now struggling to get their employees physically back in the office. This country has seen a wave of resignations like never before. 2.7% of employees have thrown their bosses a peace sign and the primary cause is that they no longer want to work anywhere but home. An idea that seemed so archaic a year ago is now common.

Have you left a job because you don’t want to go back to the office? Let us know on Facebook!

Seriously, did you not learn anything from Oasis? A recent study showed that only 33% of Americans would for sure take an immortality pill with 42% saying no and 25% remaining unsure. The group of young adults that were asked responded with 34% yes, 40% no, and 26% unsure. In the younger seniors groups, 32% said yes, 43% said no, and 25% were unsure. The group of older seniors responded with 24% yes, 59% no, and 17% unsure.

Just after turning 18, one woman in Virginia and her mother received an unfortunate birthday present. While in the middle of an online class, the 18-year-old noticed someone pulling up to their yard. That person began dumping loads and loads of pennies onto their front yard. When the wreckage was complete, the man revealed himself to be the girl’s father. He yelled, “It’s your final child support payment!” before speeding off, 80,000 pennies lighter.

The mother and daughter, both of whom are surely on their way to sainthood, picked up the pennies and after converting them to a less annoying form of currency, donated the money to Safe Harbor, a domestic abuse shelter.

A video of West Town residents desperately trying to stop a carjacking has finally been made available to the public. The video was shared in a private Facebook group shortly after the incident happened in May, but Block Club Chicago has released the footage for everyone to see.

The woman noted that despite the suspect getting away, that “everyone on this block looks out for each other.” Chicago, as we head into the summer, let’s have each other’s backs and ditch the carjackings.
