Couple discover chilling warning in cabinet of new home
Anita Rainier and her husband moved into the home in December with everything going pretty smooth for the couple who set about renovations.
As the pair began their renovations they made a chilling discovery as they found a note tucked away in the top of the cabinet. A couple who moved into their new home in recent months have been left wondering if they are being 'trolled' after they found a written warning in the house. Pic: Reddit
Speaking to Newsweek, Anita revealed that she was at an angle when she spotted the note.
She said: 'It was this really well hidden bit of paper tightly tucked into the top of the cabinet, totally out of sight unless you got all the way down, like I was looking up.'
The five-word warning read: 'Don't look under the floor.' The five-word warning read: 'Don't look under the floor.' Pic: Reddit
A series of random numbers, 29065300489382, was written on the back of the warning note.
While many would find the note terrifying, Anita and her husband found it 'both hilarious and kind of exciting'.
'What we thought was interesting was there were no results when we Googled the number,' she revealed, 'We were expecting it to be some number relating to at least something.' A series of random numbers, 29065300489382, was written on the back of the note. Pic: Reddit
The couple tried various ways to decode the number, dividing it by unit number; ZIP code; the year the building was built and more, but to no avail.
Anita has since taken to Reddit, sharing the note to the Weird subreddit.
'Found this note taped under a panel in this storage cabinet, previous owner just trolling me?' she wondered, with many taking to the comments to share their thoughts.
One said: '2906530 is a bolt action slug shotgun. 2005-(048938) is the library of congress identifier for a Private Investigator handbook 'The Private Investigator Handbook: The Do-It-Yourself Guide to Protect Yourself, Get Justice, or Get Even' that's all I got lol, I'm grasping at straws.'
Another joked: 'Omg, this was the credentials to a Bitcoin wallet! I'm rich! Thank you for posting this!'
A third advised: 'Trolling. Because in his mind it is funny to watch you tear out the floor. Don't worry about it. If it really bothers you, you can knock on the floor, and if anywhere sounds different than most of the floor or where the joists are, then you can waste your time.'

'Local crank' takes the law into their own hands with 'illegal parking' notices
A 'local crank' appears to be taking the law into their own hands in Cork after one person found a sticker threatening their car would be towed the next time it was 'illegally parked.' The red notice was found on the person's car, which read 'FINAL WARNING' and displayed an image of a car being towed away by a tow truck. 'This vericle is illegally parked it will be towed without further notices and stored at your expense,' the note read, misspelling included.

Pic: Getty Images 'Your license was recorded,' it added at the bottom with a date and time also included. The recipient took to the r/cork Reddit thread looking for confirmation that the sticker wasn't legitimate. They explained: 'At the time my 'vericle' was parked where it always is, residential area in the North side, near my house. No other cars have stickers. There's no contact number, official council markings or anything.

One said: 'Vericle? Ignore that sh*t, someone got a bunch of stickers off Temu.' Elsewhere, another reminded that the council wouldn't tow or clamp a car, but would instead issue a Fixed Charge Notice. Pic: Getty Images Another pointed out: 'American spelling of 'license' also. This is a local crank.' A third advised: 'Someone's having you on. I'd get a camera and consider reporting them to the guards. Don't let people mess with your property.' Others questioned if the poster had parked on a footpath or in front of someone's house, both of which they confirmed they had not. Elsewhere, another reminded that the council wouldn't tow or clamp a car, but would instead issue a Fixed Charge Notice. A Fixed Charge Notice would be issued for things such as parking on a footpath, and recipients than have a total of 56 days to pay the charge. The initial period of 28 days from the date of the charge issued allows for the payment at the fixed charge amount. Following that, the charge goes up 50%.

A MAN who lost £650 million in bitcoin has finally 'given up' after he was banned from searching for it in a rubbish dump. The computer expert had been lobbying his local council to allow him to search for the coins, after his partner threw them out by accident.

However, when his former partner threw out a bin bag of computer parts, he lost everything. Meanwhile, the value of the cryptocurrency skyrocketed and James' stash became worth a staggering £635 million. In a desperate bid to reclaim his lost fortune, he launched a legal bid to search the council-owned dump. Advertisement Read More on UK News SUN'S OUT Brits flock to the beach to soak in the sun - with temps to soar to 33C in days James even offered to buy it with the backing of hedge-fund millionaires who wanted a slice of his crypto fortune. However, Newport City Council has since denied his request. James tried to take legal action against the local authority, but a judge ruled in the council's favour and struck out his claim. At the high court, Judge Keyser told James that he had "no realistic prospect of succeeding" if he allowed the case to continue to trial. Advertisement He said: "I consider that the particulars of claim do not show any reasonable grounds for bringing this case. 'I also consider that the claim would have no realistic prospect of succeeding if it went to trial and that there is no other compelling reason why it should be disposed of at trial." Inside France's brutal crypto crime wave with chopped off fingers, delivery van street kidnaps & £10million ransoms The 39-year-old was told that looking for the lost cryptocurrency would be like 'looking for a needle in a haystack'.

'I believed that once the value of this hard drive reached $1billion they would come to their senses and say 'ok let's have a conversation and see if we can make this happen'?' James is now planning on developing his own cryptocurrency named Ceiniog Coin. The value of the currency would be linked to the value of his lost hard drive in a bid to reclaim some of his money.

Terrifying moment knife-wielding maniac attempts to kidnap baby boy after being caught shoplifting in failed heist
THIS is the shocking moment a knife-wielding thief attempts to snatch a baby during a bungled supermarket heist. Terrified shoppers watched in horror as the shoplifter wrestled with the tot's mum with a knife in his hand after his failed burglary. 5 A maniac shoplifter tried to take a baby from a mum during his escape Credit: Reddit/pulaupinang 5 He was seen holding a knife in one hand while using the other to steal a baby Credit: Reddit/pulaupinang 5 Terrified bystanders intervened to take the shoplifter down Credit: Reddit/pulaupinang The thief tried to leave the supermarket without paying for several bags of weighed seafood items. He was initially apprehended by a staffer, but later managed to break free at the store in Penang, Malaysia, the New Straits Times reported. The robber, reportedly a 36-year-old Vietnamese national, was then seen in the jaw-dropping footage, trying to dodge several shoppers and workers in an attempt to run away. He is first seen shrugging off the grip of two onlookers, before making a dash for the exit.

But on his way out, he snatches a baby out of an innocent mum's hands. She desperately clings on to her child - and the mum and thief are then seen pulling the baby in two separate directions. The baby is seen wailing while other shoppers can be heard calling for the man to be stopped. Violently clawing onto the baby's shirt, the man is then grabbed by a brave bystander who tries to subdue the sick attacker. He can be seen clenching his fist while gripping a knife in one hand while he uses the other to tussle with the child's parent. Moment Britain's 'dopiest burglar' is caught red-handed after staring straight into Ring doorbell of home he ransacked Another onlooker even attempts to clobber the man with a chair, as he approaches the scuffle with a stool. The baby was thankfully wrestled free just moments later after several others shoppers decided to intervene. The suspect was also apprehended by a worker after he took a few punches from outraged bystanders. The Vietnamese man was arrested by local cops in Butterworth after the ordeal which unfolded at around 12:45pm on August 9. Local police chief Assistant Commissioner Anuar Abd Rahman said: "In a subsequent attempt to recapture him, the suspect allegedly grabbed an 11-month-old boy and held a knife to the child in a bid to avoid arrest. "The suspect was eventually overpowered and detained by the supervisor with the help of supermarket staff (members) and passers-by." The officer added that the suspect "tested negative for drugs, and he has no prior record". Police have launched a probe and are still currently investigating the circumstances of the ordeal. In January, haunting footage captured the shocking moment a "cradle snatcher" who posed as a nurse fled from a hospital with a stolen baby wrapped in her arms. Natalia Edith González, 39, was arrested for allegedly nabbing the newborn from a hospital in Paraguay. She was just 50 metres from escaping over the Argentine border with it. It was believed she was on the hunt for an infant to steal after lying to her family - including her partner - about being pregnant, and identified a target after scouring three hospitals. 5 The man was arrested in Malaysia Credit: Reddit/pulaupinang
