Report: Bill Gates has been stealing neighbor’s USA Today since 1997. MEDINA—Former Microsoft CEO and one time philanthropist Bill Gates has been stealing his next door neighbor’s copy of USA Today since 1997, a local police report has revealed. Gates’ neighbor, a millionaire (though impoverished by comparison), noticed the paper’s conspicuous absence back in 1997 when he began paying a $195.00 annual fee to have it delivered to his door. “I assumed the error lay with the newspaper,” the neighbor explained. “When you have one of the greatest philanthropists who ever lived next door, you assume it was the newspaper.” But it wasn’t.  After a fourteenth consecutive year without his paper, the neighbor, who wished to remain anonymous, installed security cameras in his front yard. ”I wanted to make sure it wasn’t some punk kid, or an animal that just happened to live a really long time,” he added. Hours after its installation, the camera picked up something unexpected. “I must have checked and rechecked twenty-five times to make sure. But it was Gates.” Like clockwork, the billionaire arrived in a bathrobe at his neighbor’s doorstep each morning at 4:45, grabbing the newspaper and spitting on the front porch. “You think you know a guy,” the neighbor quipped as he shook his head. Experts suggest that Gates’ fall from grace likely aligns with the failure of his former company to make anything anybody wants. Source: Opposite Of News.
