I can't 100% state that these are all true, but I'll take that chance.
Weird, But True Stories 09

An overzealous Monopoly player in Michigan landed behind bars after he smashed a beer bottle over a friend's head when she refused to sell him Park Place and Boardwalk.
Aside from a pair of broken glasses, the woman was unhurt. The 54-year-old jerk was charged with assault and battery.

A man who went on "Antiques Roadshow" in England was devastated to find that the "antique" bottle for which he paid $1,500 was actually purchased from a supermarket last year.
"It's an empty olive oil bottle," appraiser Fiona Bruce said. "Circa 2008. It's worth nothing now."
The producers of the show have decided not to air the clip because "it was just too cruel."
-------
A woman called the Findlay, Ohio, police to complain that her husband claimed that her daughter -- his stepdaughter -- had performed oral sex on him and was far better at it than her mom.
Police made note of this crime against humanity but had to tell the woman it actually didn't violate the penal code.
