A storage container full of teddy bears, several getaway cars, and a taxidermy rat. What do these things have in common? They're all evidence in a series of heists and police reports warn shits about to get WYRD. We're talking crime this week. Organised crime. We're taking a break from everything grizzly and gory to bring you some wholesome content. As always, be sure to check the content warnings just in case. 

Lockdown 5 has fallen over Melbourne, Aus and with the rest of the world still very much on fire, we think it is time for a well deserved break. So sit down, pour yourself a cup of tea (or something stronger) and relax with these tales three. 

Mask up, get vaccinated when able, and save Halloween. We love you.

Content Warnings: Brief mention of rape and suicide.
