Kylie Christina Marriner (40) was arrested by police on December 2 in possession of a defibrillator she had stolen from outside a St Clair shop.

“That, of course, is there for the public in case of emergencies,” Judge Michael Turner said.

The incident came at the end of a torrid six months for Marriner, who originally came to the police’s attention six months earlier.

When you order something online, you usually trust that the package will make its way to you intact. And that’s typically the case, but nothing is foolproof. About 90,000 packages a year delivered to urban areas like New York City or Washington, DC, never arriving at customers’ doors due to logistics issues and ‘porch piracy,’ according to the New York Times. Nationwide, about 1.7 million packages disappear! Then you have the packages that do arrive but damaged: that accounts for about 10

Amazon will start charging customers a $1 fee if they return items to a UPS store when there is a

And it set the table for a whopper of a Loewe show, Anderson’s other major design role. You may recall that last year, Anderson took a hard left turn away from the Spanish leather house’s handmade roots into inflated surrealism. After JWA, this collection further tore menswear down to the studs. It was a literal exploration of the DNA of style, a study of silhouette, material and attitude. The audience, including Timothée Chalamet, stirred when a model emerged wearing a coat hammered out of a copper plate: a sculpture of a trench fluttering open just-so, the wearer smoothly on the
