$$$ Meanwhile, Dykstra rented an office in Camarillo, Calif., where he stored “office furniture, antique desks, (a) wine refrigerator, sports memorabilia, and a four-foot-tall electronically-locked safe” from the house. Cisneros says his lawyer reached Dykstra by phone and told him not to take anything, adding that it could “constitute criminal conduct” if he did. Dykstra jokingly answered “that there was a lot of money in the safe but (he) had forgotten the combination.” Cisneros says Dykstra then “gave his word” not to take anything. Next, “within minutes of giving Plaintiff’s counsel he word that he would not remove” the stuff, Dykstra “proceeded to load up a moving van to remove the entire contents.” [Philly]

Much better pictures of Anna Chapman, from her time in England:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/worldnews/7868331/The-photo-album-of-suspected-Russian-spy-Anna-Chapman-and-her-ex-husband-Alex.html
P.S. There is also “a sister Katya, who is now 23″.
Great photos! Also pics of her honeymoon in Africa including the photo she took of herself in bathroom mirror.
Katya doesn’t have the charisma of Anna.
Father does look like a mean SOB.
Husband looks as if he lost all his youth in last pic.
Do you think these photos were supplied by ex?
Beth, are you Russian. Just askin’
If you click on the corresponding article, it says the pictures were supplied by the ex. The ex was also grilled by MI5.
It seems that this is not your typical family either.

It seems that this is not your typical family either.
“The FBI investigated Anna Chapman’s family 10 years ago after her younger sister dated the son of an American intelligence worker.
Katya Kushchenko, 23, had a teenage romance with Nathan Joseff when their families lived in Zimbabwe, where their parents worked at their respective countries’ embassies.”

@9 – NSFW
“News of the World” is a tabloid, the pictures look doctored…
@9 you found a tabloid with two doctored photos?
Hint – you can find tabloids at the checkout lines of most US supermarkets.
Today’s exclusive story was “Barack Obama was born in Kenya!!!” It featured “exclusive” doctored pictures of his Kenyan family.
Sorry I don’t have more details – it was a short line at checkout.

@13 Behave yourself.
I should add that my comment @15 referred to a comment @13 that has since been edited out. I forget what BL had posted there originally… sort of.
