A get-away car might have come in handy for a suburban Chicago man arrested after gas station employees say they watched him walk home after he robbed them. Police say they think 31-year-old Sean Gallagher of Bolingbrook robbed the same gas station three times since December. His home is about 200 yards away. Police Lieutenant Ken Teppel says during last week's robbery, police arrived in time to have employees point out Gallagher as he walked home. The lieutenant says Gallagher has made statements suggesting he was involved in two other robberies at the gas station in December and June. He's being charged with three counts of armed robbery.

"Lost" answers are on the way. One of the show's writer-producers told a crowd at Comic-Con "We have 34 hours left for you guys to see: seasons five and six. We owe answers. We know the answers that we owe." The other "Lost" writer added "We know where we're going and we know how long we have left to tell the story." But, he hedged by saying "There's also an organic process that goes on" and compared the process to a road trip, which often includes alternate routes and unexpected stops. The two say they'd like Mr. Eko to return. Hard to believe, but it turns out the actor who played Mr. Eko didn't like living and working in Hawaii so they wrote him out of the show.

UPS driver Jeff Hornagold has made one last run in the big, brown truck -- to the great beyond. The suburban Chicago man died of lung cancer. So, longtime co-worker Michael McGowan delivered his buddy's body to the funeral in their UPS truck. Judy Hornagold says her late husband was "just the happiest UPS man alive." She says the final delivery is the perfect tribute. ***Wonder if St. Peter has to sign for him?
