THE CASE OF THE MISSING MERCEDES

There's nothing like a good tabloid story to make you forget your troubles.

Like this one from the New York Post:

*The former whiz-kid financial guru to real-estate tycoon Jim Weichert tried to kidnap the billionaire's son in a bizarre, eerie scheme involving a New Jersey cemetery, authorities said yesterday.

Cash-strapped, drug-addled Robert Harrison-- an ex-star Merrill Lynch stockbroker-- hatched the plot to lure 21-year-old James Weichert Jr. to a graveyard in Morris County last week and then nab him to extort his parents, officials said.*
