10. A Mafia Stronghold
Over in Italy, Gianluca Cali is sticking it to the mob in the strangest way
possible. His story goes back to the end of 2010, when he accidentally purchased a mafia stronghold
that had belonged to the Cosa Nostra crime family – a family he was all too familiar with.
As the owner of a successful car dealership, the mob had come to him asking for protection
money. If he pays them, they protect his business from… well, from them. But he refused. That
was when they started torching cars on his lot. While his cars were being set on fire, Gianluca
put in a bid on a coastal villa. He had no idea at the time that the villa used to belong to
Michele “The Pope” Greco, the head of the family. Michele was also the head of the Sicilian Mafia
Commission. Mobsters had been plotting murders in that house for nearly two decades. The villa
had been abandoned for quite some time already, but the authorities claimed it was still being
used as a waypoint for smuggling drugs and weapons and the occasional kidnap victim.
Naturally, the mafia did not want anyone to own the property. Members of the mafia
reached out to Gianluca and threatened him that he better give up the property – or else! But at
the same time, the police told him that if he backed out of the deal, he might get in trouble
for abetting the mafia. So, he stuck it out. The threats haven't ended. Gianluca sleeps with
a pistol under his pillow and drives around in an armored car because he's constantly in fear
of his life. But at least he has the house. He's even placed a sign on the gate that
says, “In the house, the Mafia has lost.” 9. The Bad Bartender
27 year old Lindsey Glass was working as a bartender when her life changed
dramatically. After serving a drunk man an excessive amount of alcohol, the individual
left the bar and went on a shooting rampage, murdering eight people including his ex-wife.
Lindsey was then charged with the bizarre crime of selling the guy too much liquor! This is a
law in Texas under the Alcoholic Beverage Code that says certain people cannot be given booze
– meaning people who are too drunk already. In Lindsey’s defense, she had just been doing her
job. How was she supposed to know the drunk guy at the bar was a total psycho? She couldn’t have
known that he would go to his ex-wife’s house where she and her friends were watching football
and totally massacre them. The code explicitly states that a person commits an offence if they
sell alcohol to a habitual drunkard, somebody who's already intoxicated, or an insane person.
But here's why Lindsay is in so much trouble: the killer had clearly been wasted. Eyewitnesses
reported him knocking into furniture, staggering around, and acting strange. Despite this, she kept
serving him booze. It wasn't until he finally left that she called the police to report his behavior.
As he was collecting his bill, he had pulled out a big knife and was spinning it on the bar, saying
to himself that he had to go do some dirty work. For her inadvertent part in getting the killer
wasted enough to do his dirty work, Lindsey is now facing a fine of up to $500 and a year in jail.
8. Accidental Drug Mule In New Zealand, a perfectly ordinary beekeeper –
a man named Roy Arbon who just so happens to be a senior citizen, has just returned home after
spending 18 months in jail for accidentally smuggling cocaine into Australia. How exactly
does a person accidentally smuggle cocaine? Apparently, Roy picked up a random suitcase from a
Nigerian while in Brazil and then brought it home with him. That suitcase happened to contain
2.5 kilos of cocaine. He spent 18 months behind bars waiting for his trial to start.
Roy’s arrest came in 2016, when the Border Patrol agents in Perth found all the cocaine
in his suitcase. From the outside looking in, Roy was clearly smuggling drugs. His defense was
that a Nigerian man had given him the suitcase, claiming it was full of clothes and that he
needed help getting the clothes to family members. Being the nice guy Roy is, he agreed to take
the suitcase back home to New Zealand for him. He even took all the clothes out of the
suitcase and checked to make sure there was nothing funny in it. What he didn't realize was
that the cocaine was hidden inside the lining. The cops being cops, didn’t listen to a word
Roy said for 18 months while he rotted in jail waiting for his trial. He definitely
committed a crime, but he did it by accident. He certainly didn't deserve to go to
prison just because he’s a naive old man. Luckily, when his case finally went to trial, the
jury quickly found him not guilty and Roy was able to return home immediately. He's now spending his
days at the Grey River Mouth with a fishing rod, trying to forget his absolute nightmare.
7. The Accidental Heist Wes Lewison was recruited by his friend Greg
Roberts to be an unwitting accessory to a heist. Both men were caught by police in California,
thrown into an Orange County jail cell, and brought up on charges of bank robbery. The
men were caught together on camera robbing a bank in the middle of the day, before trying to
make it to the Los Angeles International Airport. But here's where the accident comes in. Wes
Lewison had no idea they were committing a bank robbery. He had known Greg Roberts for
nearly two decades; the pair were friends. In fact, Roberts had asked Lewison to fly to
Munich in Germany to help him with a deal. Roberts promised that all
expenses would be paid. So, Lewison picked Roberts up in his car and was
going to drive them to the airport together. But Roberts said they needed to stop at a
nearby UPS store first to pick something up. While Roberts ran into The UPS Store, Lewison
waited in the car. What the man in the car didn't realize was that The UPS Store was right
next to a Bank of America – and rather than going into the store, Roberts ran into the
bank. Roberts then robbed the bank wearing a sports coat and sunglasses before running back
to the car. Then the two drove off to the airport. Police caught up to them at the airport and
they were arrested and hauled off to jail. Lewison did eventually get released once the
police realized he was an unwitting accomplice who had no idea he had just robbed a bank – but
the damage was already done. He's now having a difficult time securing work because all his
potential employers think he's a bank robber. Do you believe Lewison’s story? Do you think
he really had no idea what he got himself involved in? Let us know your thoughts in the

Jasmine Hartin accidentally killed a senior public official while on holiday
in the Central American country of Belize. She was discovered just after midnight, covered
in blood, standing on an empty pier near the beachfront property she was living in with the son
of a billionaire. On the ground before her was the dead body of Police Superintendent Henry Jemmott,
one of the most respected cops in the whole country. He had a gunshot wound in his head, with
the bullet having been fired from his own gun. This was a weird situation. Jasmine changed
her story multiple times, first saying that the guy was shot from a passing boat, then
admitting she had fired the shot herself. She claimed that Henry was her friend and that she
had given him a shoulder massage on the pier just before he taught her how to load and unload the
magazine of his service pistol. During the lesson, the gun went off and she shot the guy in his face.
A lot of things here don't really add up. The part about the shoulder massage is definitely strange,
as is a midnight gun lesson on a deserted pier. Plus, Henry had been shot behind his ear,
execution style. But because Jasmine is a Canadian socialite, associated with some of
the most powerful billionaires in the world, she’s been charged with manslaughter and
is expected to get off without any jail time – or having to reveal what kind of terrible
thing she got herself mixed up in down there. 5. Accidentally Left in Jail
When Farad Polk went to visit his son at the Cook County Jail, he ended up getting
himself locked in prison for over 30 hours. It happened in July of 2014, when prison guards
took him to a part of the Chicago jail that he had never been to before. One of the employees
directed him down a hallway, then told him to turn right and go through a door. Once through that
door, he was in a sealed room usually reserved for super-max prisoners. The door shut behind him
and he spent 32 hours trapped in a cold concrete box. He had to use the bathroom on the floor and
sleep curled in the corner with no food or water. He only managed to be rescued after he broke a
sprinkler head on the ceiling and was discovered by firefighters with the Chicago Fire Department.
Amazingly, he was still put in handcuffs and then questioned for hours before anyone would even give
him some food. And all this guy had been trying to do was visit his incarcerated son. Cook County
Jail spokeswoman Cara Smith told the press that it was a bizarre series of circumstances that allowed
this man to be locked in a room where he almost died. In the end, the accidental incarceration
earned Farad a settlement of $600,000. 4. A Free $10 Million
A small business owner in New Zealand applied for an overdraft of $100,000.
He needed it to help finance the gas station he was operating with his mother. The next day,
he woke up to find that he had $10 million deposited into his account. Since then, he's
been sentenced to spend five years in prison. So, how did he go from being a millionaire to
a criminal? The issue is that when he received the $10 million, it was clearly an accident. Hui
Gao, the unexpected millionaire, fled New Zealand to Hong Kong immediately after he realized he
had all that money. He then transferred $6.78 million across a bunch of different accounts,
in both his name and the names of his parents. Thinking quickly, Hui Gao began laundering money
through Chinese companies. See, he may have accidentally been given the millions, but he knew
that the money was not supposed to be for him. Hui Gao spent years on the run, spending as
much money as possible and really trying to take advantage of the opportunity that was given to
him. After all, it wasn't his fault that the money ended up in his account. That is 100% on whoever
deposited the money and put too many zeros. In the end, he got busted trying to cross from Hong
Kong into mainland China and is now facing five years in prison. The bank was able to recover some
of the money, but $3.8 million is still missing. 3. The Wrong Search Party
A man in Turkey named Beyhan Mutlu was drinking with a few friends on a
Tuesday night when he got lost and wandered into a nearby forest. His friends became worried
when he never came out of the woods, and so they quickly reported him missing to the authorities.
As news of the missing villager spread, people from different neighborhoods came to help with the
search. Among them was the missing man himself, who was so drunk that he didn’t realize
he was part of his very own search party. Amazingly, the search went on for hours. It wasn't
until the guy started to sober up that he finally asked someone near him, “Who are we searching
for?” When they responded with his name, he was embarrassed to admit that he wasn’t lost at all.
In the end, the police had to escort the man back to his home – and it then took hours for the rest
of the search party to be notified that the guy was never lost at all. While a relatively harmless
accident, the rest of the town was understandably upset with him for a very long time.
2. 3D Printer Trouble A teenager has learned just how dangerous 3D
printing can be. This amazing story comes from Hopewell, Virginia. The teenager found the
blueprints to create an actual gun using a 3D printer in his bedroom. The 16-year-old
high school kid was simply being a kid, thinking he had stumbled onto something awesome.
But that all changed when he loaded the gun and accidentally shot himself with it. He
suffered only a small wound to his leg, but now he might be charged with a crime!
According to the Hopewell Police, the kid had taken spare parts from various weapons
and put them together to build the top part of the gun. This means the slide, barrel, and
firing pin mechanism. Then, the teen used his 3D printer to create a handle and a trigger
mechanism. The gun went off while he was in the middle of trying to put these pieces together.
The police haven't said what kind of crime the kid might be charged with, but they did say they’re
suspicious that it could have been another kid at school who convinced him to make a firearm
for them. The teenager was just a nerd with a 3D printer who may have been coerced by someone
else to manufacture them a working weapon. 1. The Accidental Car Thief
A woman in Canada rented a black Nissan Sentra in June, in the small city of
Cornwall with a population of about 47,000 people. From the Randall office, the woman drove to the
local Walmart. She did a bit of shopping and then tracked her vehicle down in the parking lot.
She got into the car, pushed the start button, and drove away. Shortly after, the police received
a report that a black Nissan Infiniti had been stolen from the Walmart parking lot. For
the following two weeks, the woman who had rented the Nissan Sentra drove around in the
stolen Nissan Infiniti completely oblivious that it wasn't the same car she had rented.
How does this happen? It all has to do with the electronic key fobs. Her key fob worked with
the other car as well, so she had no problem opening the doors and starting the engine. This
obviously seems like it shouldn't be possible, but apparently it is. The woman only
realized her mistake when she tried to take the car back to the rental agency.
The worker at the rental agency helped the woman to retrace her steps, at which point they
identified the Nissan Sentra still sitting in the Walmart parking lot where it had been two
weeks ago. The woman, embarrassed beyond belief, called local police and explained the situation.
In the end, everything was perfectly fine – the woman wasn't charged with any crime and the
owner of the car got their vehicle back. What’s the worst crime you’ve ever committed
