rootbear75 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Posted May 3, 2007 (edited) Because you never know when one of these guys might pay attention. Today's Tip: Try to stay fresh. Burglar "Rob" lurked on the streets of Amsterdam. Make no mistake, it's a strenuous gig: all that skulking, sneaking, and burgling is very physical work. And it had its effect on Rob. In August 2003, he snuck into a nice old lady's house and stole some of her jewelry. But then all his theivery sapped him of his will to go on. The nice old lady's sofa beckoned, so cozy, so soft. Rob lay down and within minutes was off in a refreshing slumber. Refreshing that is, until he found himself being nudged awake by the cops; the nice old lady had found him snoozing on the sofa and made the call. Lying there on the sofa, the old woman's jewelry still in his hands, Rob didn't even bother to try to come up with an excuse for being in someone else's house with someone else's property. He just owned up to the theft and gave himself up. We hope he'll get some rest in jail.

Tiq Posted May 3, 2007 Report Posted May 3, 2007 I hope they keep making people like him. They make life funny.
Incomplete Posted May 4, 2007 Report Posted May 4, 2007 At least he admitted to it therefor getting a shorter sentance. He's pretty stupid for falling alseep on the job though.
ESCANDAL0SA Posted May 4, 2007 Report Posted May 4, 2007 lmao, he had to admit to it...how could he not?at least he was smart enough to do that.
Incomplete Posted May 4, 2007 Report Posted May 4, 2007 "I tripped and fell through the door grabbing the jewelry on the way down to try and support myself and hit my head on the sofa. I wasnt asleep, i was unconcious"
Dav Posted May 4, 2007 Report Posted May 4, 2007 With things like this at least it makes it obvious how these people turn to crime, too stupid to do anything else
Tiq Posted May 5, 2007 Report Posted May 5, 2007 I don't think you are appreciating the amount of physical activity it takes to walk into a home and steal jewelry, Dav. Maybe he was on the verge of cramping up. That sofa must have looked mighty inviting. Or maybe he was planning to get a quick !@#$%^&* in, and fell asleep on the job. Such things happen if you get lost in your imaginations. "Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. "
candygirl Posted May 5, 2007 Report Posted May 5, 2007 At least he admitted to it therefor getting a shorter sentance.
