His other brother Darryl

This is the kind of dumb thing they read at the end of the news, to send you off to sleep on the lighter side.  Here you go: Be glad you are not Darryl Nichols.

Darryl Nichols, master criminal, knows how to pick 'em when he sets out to rip someone off. In November, he cunningly stole a stainless steel bowl (valued at $20) from the front porch of a house in North Baltimore.

He was seen on the Ring doorbell camera and probably wishes his high school graduation photos came out that well. Police spotted him making his well-planned getaway on a bicycle.  As he pedaled along, he had a bag slung over his shoulder, a bag containing packages he had helped himself to from another porch.

When he was taken into custody, the police took those packages and returned them to their rightful owner; it was a dress and a pair of children's pants, total value, $35.

The bowl was not recovered. 

Nichols is 60, and Judge Ana D. Hernandez, in Eastside District Court, arranged for him to be a guest of the city for the next two months this past Monday.  In view of his lengthy criminal record (theft, malicious destruction of property and burglary) Nichols will be able to spend time with friends on the Inside for those 60 days.

His parting remarks to the court? “I just want to apologize,” Nichols said. “I’m sorry for what I did.”

All rooms have unobstructed ocean views.

He's also sorry that he stole the bowl from Police Commissioner Richard Worley, but he didn't mention that. The commissioner's wife appeared in court to send him off with the police department's best wishes.
