Police tap teen in theft of chef's Lamborghini

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? A celebrity chef's Lamborghini sports car has been recovered from a teenager's storage container a little more than a year after it was reported stolen from a San Francisco exotic car dealership.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported Monday (http://bit.ly/JJthFf ) that Marin County sheriff's investigators found Guy Fieri's bright yellow Spyder convertible in the city of Richmond while looking into the 17-year-old boy's connection to a shooting in Mill Valley.

The teen was arrested Saturday in the shooting and for being in possession of a stolen car.

Fieri thanked officers for cracking the case, saying he felt better knowing justice is being served.

Fieri drives around the country in a 1967 Camaro convertible checking out greasy spoons as star of the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives."

Panasonic's hair-washing robot exterminates dirt, unauthorized humans (video)

Panasonic is now testing its hair-washing robot at a salon in Nishinomiya, Japan. Designed to care for the elderly or the physically less-able, it sprays water, shampoo and conditioner over your bonce while 24 robotic fingers knead at your scalp. The company claims that it offers a more satisfying and relaxing experience than a wash from a human, unless you remember what happened when Mr. Kinney tested ED 209.
