The Purse Snatching That Keeps on Giving

No, it wasn't enough that Barbara Bush's handbag and cellphone were stolen while she and her sis were visiting Buenos Aires's San Telmo nabe. Bueno? Siiii. Pero bastante? Noooo. Happily, the thief (or someone with a sense of humor) posted the phone for sale--including a number directory replete with "George Bush's private number plus Michael Jackson's, Madonna's, Paris Hilton and Ozzy Osbourne's"--on MercadoLibre.com (Argentina's eBay). [ed. note: Michael Jackson?] The kicker: "No te pierdas esta increíble oportunidad. "El mismo Bin Laden te lo lleva en moto!" ("Don't lose this incredible opportunity. Bin Laden himself will deliver it on a scooter!"). The asking price? 1,000 pesos, or about $320.

Sadly, it got pulled off the site before anything came to pass.
