A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

IF THEY EVER AWARDED A NOBEL PRIZE FOR "BEST ACHIEVEMENT IN STEALING A NOBEL PRIZE" ... this guy probably wouldn't win:

Stephen Beaulieu, 42, of Skowhegan, Maine - a disheveled drifter with champagne tastes - broke into Harvard University Professor of Physics Roy J. Glauber’s home overlooking Spy Pond in Arlington last month, slept in one of his beds, stubbed out a cigarette on a nightstand and stuffed his face with imitation lobster and smoked oysters bought with his food stamp card, investigators said.

... Beaulieu was arrested by state police Friday in Russell thanks to a $7.88 receipt from a Hannaford Supermarket in Saugus police found in Glauber’s house, which they say is from purchases made March 6 with Beaulieu’s Maine food stamp card.

Police, meanwhile, are trying to track down Glauber’s Nobel Prize for his work on the behavior of light, as well as a Nobel replica and a Spanish Academy of Sciences Gold Medal he has been unable to locate since the break-in.

"It’s unclear what a Nobel Prize would fetch on the street," the Boston Herald helpfully notes. I wonder if they tried asking these folks.
