Polite Criminal

by TChris

A woman in Richmond, Virginia returned home after a week's absence to find that her apartment had been burglarized. In addition to taking her computer and television, the burglar ate her food and drank her liquor.

But this was not a thoughtless thief. Police said the rear sliding glass door, which the woman had left open, was closed and locked when she returned. In addition, "clothes and dishes had been washed and dried," according to the police report.

The police theorize that the burglar took up residence while the woman was gone, but didn't want to stay in a dirty apartment.

    You know you're a bad housekeeper when burglars clean up after you.

    Maybe he could rob my daughter's bedroom. He might even be able to find a computer under the clothes somewhere.
