I know I have written before how much I love the weird news stories. When I was a child we used to listen to the weird stories in a radio segment that would come on during the weekends. The bank robber who wrote the note on his personalized stationary; the would-be robber who tried to break in by going down the chimney; the man who disguised his face by wrapping it duct tape… OUCH!
This morning I was checking email when I saw this news item pop up.
A woman who sneaked into a man’s apartment and lived in his closet undetected for over a year.
Could you imagine? The man became suspicious when food was disappearing from his refrigerator and set up a security camera hoping to catch the thief. He had no idea the thief was living in his closet, however.
Makes me want to go check out the back of my closets a little bit better.
I saw that one! Seeing as I’m the kind of person who watches horror movies and already gets paranoid about little noises in the house, that would get me SOOO freaked out.

I’ve got a dumb criminal story for ya! Our church also houses a preschool/daycare. Two men walked in last week and were looking to steal some speakers, but didn’t realize that daycare kids would be there. They did get away with a TV, but then went and bragged to their neighbors about it. Problem with that was that the neighbor has a child at our daycare!! The neighbor reported him the next day, and crime solved!
