"Santa" caught red-faced

Christnas eve in Belleville, Ontario saw Santa Claus apprehended by police as he was about to enter a home. Clothed in red and carrying gifts the jolly fat man had been reported by a neighbour as a suspicious character lurking nearby.

When police questioned Santa the embarrassed man turned out to be a fellow cop. He was off-duty and said he was simply trying to sneak into his own house to plant gifts as a surprise for his kids. [Montreal Gazette]

So who's been naught or nice? You'd think a cop would know that these days Identity Theft is taken very seriously. Can you imagine what the real Santa Claus will be giving that cop next Christmas?
