True tales of crimes so bizarre you might not believe them.
The mysterious disappearance of thousands of false teeth, international travel via the postal system, doughnut delivery heists, clowns terrorising a neighbourhood, the theft of a three-storey-high replica mango, criminal clairvoyants making off with haunted cash: could crime get any weirder, and could people get any stupider?
In Australia's Most Bizarre Crimes, Peter Coleman explores the archives and recent records to produce this astounding collection of criminal mishaps that will have you laughing even as you shake your head in disbelief.
'Full of wit and arguably educational, it could only be called a delight'. - The AU Review
Dr Peter Coleman is an author whose first book, Weekends with Matt, was published by Affirm Press in 2022. He has a PhD in cultural studies from Monash University. His primary reason for getting a PhD was to call himself 'Dr' on flights and get upgraded to business class. To date, no upgrade has been forthcoming. He works as a consultant in the not-for-profit sector, but can't be bothered explaining what that involves. His interests include the French philosopher Simone Weil and Below Deck Down Under. Peter has been married to his husband Mike for over 18 years. Their marriage has yet to lead to the downfall of society, but he still holds out hope.
