Now here’s something that happens only in Florida! According to a Facebook post by the Port St. Lucie Police Department, It was 10:30 PM, at a bar on SW Gatlin Blvd in Port St. Lucie. Things were getting a bit wild, the kind of wild where you might lose your car keys without even realizing it. And that’s precisely what happened to our protagonist, the infamous William Colon. I mean, he must have thought he struck gold when he saw those shiny keys just begging to be taken.
With his stealth skills on point (or not), he snatched those keys off the table and made a beeline for the exit. So off he goes, vroom vroom, on a joyride that was neither joyful nor his to begin with.
As the police report goes, officers spotted him and the stolen pickup truck cruising down US1. Oh, the confidence! The audacity! Now, when the police asked him the big “Why?” question, expecting a mind-blowing answer involving international espionage or a quest for hidden treasure, what did good ol‘ William have to say for himself? He stole the truck because he didn’t have a ride home and, get this, he didn’t want to call an Uber!
I mean, you’ve got to admire his dedication to not using rideshare apps, but come on! There’s a difference between trying to be “independent” and just being a bit of a motor vehicle kleptomaniac.
So, here’s William, riding the rollercoaster of consequences as he’s hit with charges of grand theft auto and driving without a valid license. Maybe he should have focused on getting a driver’s license first before attempting to impress everyone with his Fast & Furious skills.
If you’re ever stuck at a bar without a ride home, just call a cab, call a friend, or even call your grandma. She’d probably love the chance to save the day! But for the love of all that’s holy, don’t resort to grand theft auto as your Plan A. Don’t be an idiot. Stealing trucks isn’t the answer to life’s transportation problems.
Lakeland Florida Woman Makes Jewelry Out Of Breastmilk And Cremation Ashes
Living in Florida is expensive. You almost have to have a side hustle just to get by. But one woman in Lakeland, Florida launched a side hustle so lucrative she made it her full time gig. She makes jewelry out of breastmilk. No breastmilk? She can also make jewelry from cremation ashes, hair, placenta or umbilical cord. Personalized keepsakes.
According to Good News Network, Rachel Heinze of Lakeland left her job as “a professional neuroscientist that specialized in concussions before quitting her job to stay at home with the kids.” That’s quite a leap, but she’s reportedly making $30K a year and gets to be at home with the kids. That’s everything right there. She calls her business Mommy s Comfort Keepsakes and based her on Instagram, business is good.
How she got started making jewelry out of breastmilk
As Rachel was weaning her son, she was looking for a way to commemorate their journey. She had him early with a cesarean section at 34 weeks. After time spent in the NICU and other complications they happily made it to his first birthday.
That’s when she ran across breastmilk jewelry. And then, with her background in chemistry, she realized she could make this jewelry herself and create it for others.
As you’ll see in the pictures, she does beautiful work. And most of the designs are under $150. Turn around time is 2-3 months, art can’t be rushed. Full details on her creations are on this website.
Another cool thing she does is offer ‘do it yourself kits’. That’s right, Rachel will teach you how to do your own jewelry. But personally, I’d be a lot more inclined to see what she comes up with. Here’s some of her work.

These have an ‘estate feel’ to them. Love the look.
