BRISTOL, England, Oct. 7 (UPI) -- British police said a security camera placed in a parked surveillance car photographed a thief's tattoo bearing his name and birth date.

Investigators said Aaron Evans, 21, was caught on video breaking into the Peugeot 106 that had been placed in the parking lot by police and stealing a satellite navigation system that was left in the car as bait for thieves, The Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday.

Police said the camera clearly captured footage of a tattoo on the back of Evans' neck reading: "Evans 19.9.87."

Evans pleaded guilty to theft and asked for 10 other offenses to be taken into consideration. He was sentenced to seven months in jail.

Mom denies daughter's Elvis sister claim

WHITEHAVEN, Tenn., Oct. 7 (UPI) -- A former Whitehaven, Tenn., resident has denied her daughter's claims to being the half-sister of late rock 'n' roll singer Elvis Presley.

Florence Clark said she spent time at Elvis's home and accompanied the singer on several outings with his entourage, but she said she never had a sexual relationship with the King or his father, Vernon Presley, the Memphis Commercial Appeal reported Monday.

"There is no Presley connection," said Clark, 67, who now lives in Oregon. "I would be rich if there was a Presley connection. Do you think I would walk away from that? Would any girl walk away from that if they had a child by Vernon or Elvis?"

Clark's daughter, Alice Elizabeth Tiffin, 46, who recently changed her name to Eliza A. Presley, said DNA tests have proven that Vernon Presley, who died in 1979 at age 63, was her father.

Donald Yates, head of DNA Consulting in Scottsdale, Ariz., said he has been analyzing the case for five years and testing of Presley family members, including DNA from Elvis, led him to become "99.99 percent sure" that Tiffin and Elvis are half-siblings with Vernon as their father.

8-foot snake blocks homeowner's door

PALM BAY, Fla., Oct. 7 (UPI) -- An 8-foot snake washed up by Tropical Storm Fay onto a doorstep blocked a Florida man from entering his home, officials said.

Animal control authorities in Palm Bay, Fla., Monday were called to assist a police officer who came to remove the reptile from the doorway of a home near an area that was hard hit by the August storm, WFTV, Orlando, Fla., reported.

"He weighs more than I do," the unnamed officer told the television station.

A rake was used to gain control of the snake, which hissed and tried to get away but was eventually herded into a cage, authorities said.

Britain: Harrow Town Council bans 'jargon'

LONDON, Oct. 7 (UPI) -- The Harrow Town Council in England has pledged to replace "school crossing patrollers" with the phrase "lollipop ladies" in an effort to reduce jargon.

After polling townspeople, the council replaced several of what it considered bewildering jargon phrases when speaking to the public, The Times of London reported Tuesday.

Henceforth, "civil enforcement officers" will become "traffic wardens," while "school crossing patrollers" become "lollipop ladies" and "civic amenity sites" become "rubbish tips," The Times reported.

"Our residents want to hear plain speaking and that is what we'll deliver," vowed Councilor Paul Osborn. The council also pledged to answer phone calls within 30 seconds and acknowledge e-mails within 24 hours, The Times reported.
