Has Adolf Hitler come back as a house in Swansea?

A house that looks remarkably like Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler has been discovered in Swansea by a sharp-eyed Twitter user.

In Swansea you'll find a house that looks like Hitler Reich up your street? The house really is quite Hitler-y (Picture: Google)

Charli Dickenson posted a Twitpic of the property, saying: 'I've found Hitler reincarnated.'

She certainly has a point. It has a sloped roof that looks like the Fuhrer's greased down side parting and a brown door that resembles his moustache.

The picture was subsequently re-tweeted by top comedian Jimmy Carr and the house is now well on the way to becoming a viral hit.

As far as we are aware it's the only house in the world that looks like a despot. However, if you spot any more, please do send in a picture of them.

Perhaps there's a bungalow that looks like Pol Pot or a flat that bears more than a passing resemblance to Idi Amin. Keep your eyes peeled.

Doncaster woman 'steals off-licence safe between her legs'

A Doncaster woman is being sought by police for stealing a safe between her legs. She walked out of a shop with it under her skirt, that is, lest your mind was creating a whole other picture...
Doncaster Woman Steals Safe Between Her Legs Doncaster police released CCTV footage of the woman believed to have stolen the safe between her legs

South Yorkshire Police released CCTV images of the woman, who was one of a group of six people - including two men - who entered the off-licence.

While her mates distracted staff in the outlet, the lady went into a private area in the back.

We should mention that, while she entered the shop last month wearing trousers, she left in a long skirt and was notably struggling to walk, hence the police's safe-themed suspicions as to what she got up to in there.

The safe had cash and jewellery estimated to be worth £20,000 inside it, and police are now urging the public to come forward with details they may have about any member of the group.
