Welcome to Episode 200 of This is True Really News! Join hosts Scott Combs and Tony Verkanas as they bring you the most bizarre, absolutely true news stories from around the globe.
In this episode, we cover:
A Smelly Situation in New Jersey: A Nylabone dog treat plant in Neptune City, New Jersey, is causing neighbors to experience nauseating headaches due to noxious odors. The company president stated they have already spent over two million dollars on odor abatement solutions like charcoal filters.
The Shipping Container Craze: We explore the trend of shipping container real estate, featuring a Wellington, New Zealand landlord renting a container for 200 pounds a week and a Cheltenham, UK man living in one to save 700 pounds a month. We also discuss two British travelers who booked a $100-per-night Amsterdam Airbnb, only to discover it was a shipping container sitting right on the sidewalk.
The Harwich Garbage Thief: Irene Slater, a 59-year-old from Harwich, England, has had her full garbage bags stolen from outside her home four separate times. She and her neighbors suspect the thieves might be trying to steal their identities.
A Long Drive for Nothing: An 18-year-old man in Dunedin, New Zealand, breached COVID-19 lockdown rules by driving 115 kilometers at 1:30 a.m.. He claimed it was for a family emergency, but police discovered the trip was actually just a visit to a Night 'n Day convenience store.
The Nightmare Apartment: Freddie Gilliam-Webb, a 29-year-old cleaner in Hampshire, England, was tasked with cleaning an evicted tenant's apartment. He found an estimated 8,000 beer cans piled several feet deep, rotting food waste, and a completely destroyed toilet. The horrific smell caused him to throw up three times during the cleanup, which required 100 trash bags and 10 bottles of bleach.

In this episode, we cover:
0:47 - The World's Worst Burglar: A 46-year-old man named Lee Roach broke into Harrison's bar in Liverpool's city center. Roach, who already has 90 previous convictions, passed out behind the bar and was found the next morning by cleaning staff. Upon being searched by police, officers found booze, $10,000 in phony bills, and a stolen parcel containing a new wallet. The judge gave him 15 months.
2:44 - The Purple Tie Defense: In San Pedro, California, attorney Bob Sanger is representing Paul Flores in a case regarding the 1996 disappearance and murder of Kristin Smart. Sanger filed a motion requesting a hearing to recuse the entire District Attorney's office. He argued that prosecutors, the victim-witness coordinator, and Detective Clint Cole had a conflict of interest because they wore purple clothing and ties, which was Kristin Smart's favorite color.
4:30 - The Police Blotter: A Mayfield Heights, Ohio man caught a naked woman using his garden hose to bathe on his video surveillance system. In Fall River, police responded to reports of a naked man running around the 12th green of the Fall River Country Club. Finally, Tahlequah police were dispatched to Harbor Freight Tools after a drunk man locked himself in the bathroom and passed out while using the toilet.
6:06 - MTA Subway Joyride: A New York City subway motorman named Terrell Harris got into serious trouble with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. He allowed his girlfriend to operate the train controls through several stops. The couple was caught after they posted photos of the joyride on social media.
