QUIRKY WORLD ... Fragrant thief is heaven-scent for cops

USA:Officers in western Oregon say a suspect they tried to collar at a traffic stop drove too fast for pursuing officers, but eventually he proved just too fragrant for freedom.

The Albany Democrat-Herald reports that the driver gave officers in Linn County the slip in a high-speed chase before dawn on Sunday, doing more than 160kph in a red Honda Prelude whose bonnet flew off.

However, Lebanon police later saw the car parked and launched a search.
